    What version is this? I’m not seeing that huge ass play button, and I’m on the latest beta build.

        Crap, so that’s what I should expect to come down the line? Not a deal-breaker for me, but it is going backwards.

          gotta go back up the pipeline if the trend continued downwards, which means invidious for me

            I’m sure someone will fork a build to keep the legacy UI. Seems like it would be easy to NOT include the code that uglifies the UI like that. LOL

              i asked them if they could keep a legacy option or let us change the ui only, the reply was that they worked on it for over a year and wont be changing it back cause i cant get used to it

              bro,k your team took over a year to not align the ui with the video

                A year of work… for something that NOBODY asked for or even wants? That’s a shame. I’d expect that from Google, but not a team working on an open-source project.

    It might not actually be that bad, but I rarely like change. In my opinion, all software should have a sort of legacy UI mode.

    EDIT: You don’t have to listen to my opinion.

      This sounds like “I want developers’ lives to be a living hell if they ever decide to overhaul their UI.”

        Fair point. Just because I have an opinion doesn’t mean people should listen to me. /srs

      i asked them about a legacy option and their answer boiled down to a somewhat condescending “tough shit, get used to it”
