After so long with the old way, it's confusing and going to take some time to get used to. Plus I like the colorful "day/night" design rather than gray. I have enough gray in my life right now. Could we at least pick an actual color?
Do not like, tbh. Why are there 3 - 4 levels of menus at the top of the page (one says Glitch, one says my name, the 3rd is just...there starting with Home)? And then on the Home page there are 2 buttons to enter the world.
I do like the Friends tab back, though.
I'm hoping that this is an in-between stage and not the final product. Really hoping :)
Visually not super pleasing, but like most things, it's just a matter of getting used to it. Kind of came unannounced which caused the confusion haha. Some Menus repeat, which I find ergh. And I am going to put this in ideas: put AM/PM next to the time, just like in the Calendar section, otherwise it's misleading!
Seriously TS
Do you really think the gray says "HAY come play glitch, have some fun!" OR do you think it now says......"boring old dull glitch", who wants to play that? for a game that is so very full of colour i dont ge the gray at all.
I am old enough to remember black and white TV..give me colour pleaseeee with sprinkles so it looks fun fun fun :D
erm while i'm at it any chance of putting the currents amount and IMG actually next to the icon and not underneath the GRAY it does kinda get lost like that.
*shrug* I love the grey. I am old enough to remember black and white tv, too....and this did not for one second make me think of that. What I notice with the bars like this is that it is easy to read, is nice and clean, and not matter what page I am on, I can get to any link I need/want. I love it!!
As to the clock, it appears to be in military time. Pretty easy once you figure that out.
The username/currants/img font is jagged on my screen, and it's sort of weird to have some links aligned to the left, others to the right. It's also confusing to see both "Snaps" and "My Snaps." If this stuff is going to keep changing, how about a simple, alphabetized pull-down menu listing all available options in one place?
It's... ok... but the day/night cycle was 100000000% better as a bg for the top bar, imo. Hoping the second bar gray is temporary also. I don't mind the layout, but the background color choices are too heavy and serious for the rest of the site.
Exactly what I thought just a few seconds ago when I came back! Just 'whoa!' Not able to say whether I like it yet, but I know I'll get used to it. :)
As for the grey, I think it's still going to do the night/day thing, because the background texture in the grey is the moon, and it's nighttime in Glitch. At least, I hope that's it. :) The night/day thing was pretty awesome. I loved knowing visually what time of the Glitch day I was logging in.
Ok ok ok, but did anyone notice that BETA is no longer superimposed over the Glitch logo??? Are we out of beta-beta? Is this a sign from the Giants?!?!?!
I had a little time to play with this, I still love it but, I think the my snaps and snaps options should be switched. That's the only thing that seemed out of place. It seems the top options are more global and community based, while the bottom options are more personal.
Wait, am I hallucinating? Did they switch it, or was 'my snaps' always on the bottom....? Oh well, better now!
Zoethor2 - If you log out, the main page still states beta, but it seems to be a little closer to being out of beta!
I love the 24 hour clock! While we're at it, what would also be nice would be a way to see how much real-life time is left until end of day without having to enter the game.
edit: the glitch logo is already 'home', the name is already 'profile'... why not just put the other links in the top bar, and the 'enter world' button between imagination count and the envelope? like this. my PS skills are outta this world, i know.
It's only 2:37am in game, so it could change. The old one was definitely still dark around that game time.
Unfortunately, now that I think back to two hours ago, it was 1500something hours in game (3pm- not sure why my brain was thinking later than that) when I posted my hopes earlier, and it was dark grey, so it probably won't change, which will suck if stays that way. I liked the colorfulness. I like dark colors a lot, and I like the grey on the bar, but it doesn't fit Glitch.
Ok. My first reaction was "I don't like this", but it seems to have been my internal change-hater talking. It seems better already after waiting a couple of minutes to look at it again.
I don't hate the grey. I might like it better in not-grey. Or I might not. Who knows!
Oh, it does kinda mess up the niceness they had going on the profile page. Maybe dropping the home street background down a bit would make it fit better.
I don't hate it, but I do think it could use some tweaking to make it nicer overall. :)
with all due respect... i don't like it. i like the colors, but it's not the perfect place to use them. and most of all, i don't like it because the amounts of currants and iMG don't fit. also, it seems to be a waste of space, since the Glitch logo takes us to home page, when there is a link to home right bellow it. i was hoping that the Glitch logo would take us to the blog, or somewhere else. our name, also takes us to home page.
i would switch the clock with the auctions-to-help links. yeah, a full bar of links! or like someone said, a dropdown menu when we click on our name. and would rearrange the amounts of currants and iMG.
Okay so it looks classy indeed
But I liked very much the day/time color changes like they were before...
Also not so sure about the three rows of menus as pointed out above
Um. It's drab and grey and I don't really understand which menu items are on which level why...and I already miss the changing day/night time images. These always told me immediately what time of Glitch day it was and I was rather fond of them...not sure why the Glitch logo is so tiny - there's loads more room up there for just one line of menu items-why split them like that? Not sure I understand the design reasoning behind this arrangement...
Not a huge fan. It's too big, it's too cluttered, it's too boring, there's too much redundancy.
Presumably the Profile and Home pages are going to be reworked yet again? As it stands, if I go to my Home page, there are now two links to Wardrobe, two links to Vanity, and two links to my Profile. Only the bottom quarter of the page contains any actual content; the same is true of my Profile. Both contain three links to Snaps.
Not seeing much in the way of improvement on this one. As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
+1 to everything E D D I E just said. Btw noone needs to apologize, likers and non-likers. We're all intitled to our opinions... But I think even if we're not to discuss tastes, in this case, it's clear it was not a great choice nor a great update, it confuses everyone and does not look great with the game feel, etc. Some people have "the eye", some don't, some don't care. There will always be someone to be "oh but I like it", and that's completely fine too.
3 bars for navigation is bad design, and now the website is pretty much black and white.
Dull.
I want the old one back.
Edit: Another thing, the previous menu would have attracted new-player me. If I was still a new player and was to see this really dull website it would ruin my image of the game.
This is just my critique: I'm sorry to say, I don't like it. I also preferred day/night cycle and the old layout overall. It was fun and pleasing to the eyes (very pretty!). The grey tones (to me) are sad and muddy. Half of the beauty of the profile page is now being obscured by two bars of bulky washes that cover most of the landscaping.
Like the additional tabs for things like auctions, friends, my snaps. Miss the day/night cycle. Would prefer to pick a color/theme for the banner bar if it can't be the old day/night cycle. At a minimum, would prefer the banner to match my street design like on my profile page.
The thing that bugs me is that grey is not Glitch's colour. If you were going for a thematic, Halloween-Rook skin, then it would work as a starting point. But the game of glitch is colourful, and the design team would already know what Glitch's token colours are. Those are what should be in the header.
Plus day-night is such a big part of world-building, I don't understand why you decided to take it out.
I find it a bit "top heavy/severe/grave", definitely preferred the colors we had before this change, also think the 3 bars could be condensed down to two.
