As a user, subtle changes to an user interface I am famiilar with for no good reason and just for the sake of change are *incredibly frustrating*. An interface I was used to using is gone, and I have to learn something new. If there is a real value-add in the interface, OK. (But even then, it can be frustrating to learn. Acceptable, but still frustrating.) One extreme way to put it is: I would rather the bad interface that I know rather than a marginally better interface that I don't know. It has to be really good to be worth the pain. I guess we're mostly talking about color changes, rather than moving around tools and redesigning critical UI elements, so some of these concerns are less strong. But I think they're still concerns? So I guess I would be more comfortable if the discussion acknowledged these tradeoffs. --jh...@mit.edu John Hawkinson _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
