Bookmarked the thread so I can check the progress every so often. I'm liking what I'm seeing from the screnenshots so far.
Retro UI! (Pictures are out!)
When you had da or GF equipped, the icon with all the bright, solid colors made you feel like you were wielding a sword of great strength. Now, they just look like other swords.

I really miss the old UI, and would love to see this implemented.

I definitely support this! I'm not a fan of the new UI and would much rather use a better one like the old one
make old/new UI toggleable (EVERY DAMN LAST THING)
signed, if i wasn't in europe i would slap the art director or whomever made the UI changes, and the person who gave his/her ok to this monstrosity! :D
ok just kidding, what i DO want...
- make changing the UI and option (don't force this crap down our throat! you'll lose players, believe me)
- and/or change the damn healthbar and pickupbar back to the way they where damnit!!!
- next time... try to make the damn thing tie into the game better! the way it looks now is like playing half life with TF2 weapon skins -_-
(I know this post is a bit older but I still wanted to give my opinion after I saw the thread.)
I definitely agree, that the new UI looks awful. The most annoying point in my opinion is the position of the Health-Bar and the vial, but there is even more:
- The pretty ugly new icons for vials, equipment and pretty much everything else.
- The 3D preview of Equipment.
- The very huge shield-bar.
- Generally the 'popping-out' 3D-style thing, the whole new UI features.
And I'm pretty sure, there is more new content, I'm not appreciated with.
I'm playing Spiral Knights, since it was released on Steam, and got really used to the old UI, however I think there are a lot of people, who may like the new one. So to cooperate between these two sides, I would like a button in the options-menu, with which you can turn on the old UI. Things like the shield-bar could also be greatly implemented into the old UI (for example just place the shield bar beneath the old health-bar), which would not be as much work as it may sound (I'm pretty sure OOO also has a backup of the old design).
So I am pretty much thankful for your trial to help us getting back the old design, but however I would like even more steps 'Back to the Roots'. So I guess only the Devs could bring back, what has a need to be brought back. And since they stopped listening to us, I think we can only stay here and wait, or leave the game and miss it.
Sincerely, Sky
You get my fullllll support

Also include a button in the options menu. Some weird people might love the new UI. And it would be nice if we could tweak the UI from the options. Cause to be honest there are some little things i like in the new UI. They are not so significant tho
Hello! Ha lucky thing I noticed this thread.
I'm debating with myself if I want to keep going...I'm not sure what to do with battle sprites, because they would require new icons. I'll think about it some more. It's impossible for me to make mockups based of what the testing server has because almost all those icons are beta icons.
EDIT: That is to say, I don't know what I will do with the sprites. I won't stop, for sure. But I'm not sure if I'll leave the sprites alone, or make custom icons for them.
Huh, keeping the sprites as they are, whatever they're gonna be. Shows us which part came from the older updates :D
Because I haven't gotten around to it. :P
I'll do it...soon if not now.
It would be nice to have the Old UI back, but still.
The Old UI didnt have to encorperate the Shield Strength, Maybe a New battle Pet Bar may be included too.
The Sprinting Symbol could be placed anywhere though.
hey why isn't this a thing yet
Because OOO's testing server is occupying me. 'Nuff said.
@Edolas
Sure it did. If your shield was at full health the shield bubble was blue, then it went to yellow and eventually red when very low on health with progressing shades in between.
I remember being so excited about the new update. I logged in, and my face just dropped. I'm sick of this new UI and If you're looking for 100 supporters, I'm pretty sure you will get them.
Updated supporter list.
Sadly, I've been really busy and I don't think I'll be getting a whole lot of time to work on this in the near future! (Might be wrong.) I'll work on it when I can, but I might have to let someone else take over in the near future...
This needs to exist in-game. You should have left a shadow copy of this thread in Suggestions. I also wonder why Three Rings hasn't done what Blizzard and the like have done with their MMOs (and what Valve has done with its Source games) and marked a set of UI data as "here, go ahead and modify this" and have Getdown verify the rest at runtime. I'm referring to things like icons that are in PNG format and have no effect on how the game actually works.
Incidentally, I was in the planning stages of a retro UI mockup project combining the old UI with the new UI; I made fractional pips for the new UI style first. And there is exactly nothing preventing a toggle for the UI. Look in /rsrc/ui; there are two directories, hud and hud_v2. Everything is still there, it just needs to be updated for sprite skills.
