Whether that can be changed with skins, I don't know, but the larger issue is that it feels very busy and poorly laid out, which is a UI issue rather than graphical. I appreciate that there are more features packed in, but even with things that are the same as '16, it's night and day in regards to how user friendly they are. Firstly, from '16:</p><p> </p><p>

It's simple but it's fine. The boxes have some colour to them, the font is uniform throughout and everything is sectioned clearly and appropriately. Compare it to the same options in '20:</p><p> </p><p>

Default fonts, default boxes, no organisation, different font sizes and very hard to read and organise in your own mind as you're scanning through it.</p><p> </p><p>
Another example, the size section. All the info is the same, but look at the difference in how user friendly it is:</p><p> </p><p>

In '16 your eyes are instantly drawn to the large numbers and the big, bold colours. You can see every figure for every region on one screen and the quick and minor information, how to get to the next level, is displayed briefly at the top. Now compare this to '20:</p><p> </p><p>
<img alt="VyHaaKV.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VyHaaKV.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>
The info you want to see is in a tiny font, you have to scroll through each area as opposed to everything being displayed on one page, the minor game information on how to get to the next level takes up a 3rd of the screen and it's also the section with the most colour, which draws your eye towards it.</p><p> </p><p>
Excuse the long post, but I didn't want to say "I don't like the UI" without giving reasons as to why.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p>
Agree. To ALL of this. I can't look at the new one without getting dizzy after 5 minutes. That's not hyperbole. I legitimately have to take a break every 5 minutes that I try to play.</p>
