small thing, newspaper is now under “profile”, shouldn’t that be better under “league” ?

2. New Layout

Thanks guys for your work.

I need more time, i´m not sure…
I like it better before: BLUE (better than red)
ICONs on top, better than now.
team players screen now larger, doesnt fit my player so i have to use tab.
It looks more professional, but it is harder than before. New managers will loose patience sooner, so we might loose some, for me it is the same because i just have to search for it.
i will keep looking….. but please what about WORLD CUP….. i thought it was a done deal!!!!! i might be dreaming, and yes USA and MEXICO leagues should be added, and they must plaly, like they trying in real life, south american Libertadores…. and its about time the system stop brazilian league advantage in the ranking system.
SALUDO2

Can you change the skills number color to something more dark when we use the colorize option? It’s dificult to see the clearest greens and the white together. That should be easy to change.

It will take some time to get used to and to be honest i am not really fan of red color but overall it think its a good design. Thanks for the work.

I hope you guys enjoy a more professional look to RubySoccer and some handy features such as hotlists, managers online being on modal boxes (e.g. not a separate page). There are countless things we didn’t have time to implement or change properly yet.

Ulisses, we had 3 colour schemes available: red (default), green and blue, which should be available to the user settings sometime soon ;)

Future changes that I’d like to work on when I have the time are:
1. Modal mailing system (again, not navigating away from any page)
2. Flash match replay using improved graphics (Danilo wanted it 3D, but that would cost him loads of burgers)
3. Newspaper using proper typography (will look and feel like the real thing!)

Cheers ;)

I’ve changed everybody to use the expanded layout. Whoever wants to use the miniature layout should go to the manager settings screen and change it manually. The reason being we think the expanded layout is more intuitive for first comers to the new layout.
cheers!

Thanks for the feedback so far, keep it coming so we can work on improvements!

Hotlists are on the top right corner.

Siqueira, you should consider switching to the non-miniature layout. Go to your manager settings screen, switch it and please let us know if you find that one simpler for you.

I couldn’t find hotlist link

I just dont like it…

Its hard to find things. Can’t locate anything and took me 10min to find the forum.
Maybe the layout could be worked based on how it was, with the colors and specifics that the designers want the page to have?

Just a suggestion/little complaint…

1. Topic: General
2. New Layout

You guys have worked really hard for this change, and i would like to thank you guys for this effort.
Some pages are great and better than before, some have gotten worse… but i guess it takes some time to get used to the change, so, i would like to reserve my complaints so that i can appreciate the new UI better.

I think Vaughn has listed some of those common anomalies, which i back up at the moment…

The previous design was simple and comforting to the eyes, can’t say the same thing about this one though…

Green is good Danilo :) …Maybe it’s the white of the numbers or just me :) … Probably it’s me.

2. New Layout

Hhm first though i had in mind..wow big. Everything is a little oversized and to much space between things in my opinion. I use a 19" widescreen with 1440×900 and it’s big :)

Some small things:
- Bold players are hard to see
- Icons on left, some are the same icons and same names like country
- Forum doesn’t open in a new tab but opens in the main screen
- In player screen of a team some left aligned things are aligned to far to the left
- Logo is ugly :p
- Icons on top are alot better! But the menu itself is kinda weird standing there

I’m also abit disappointed that i didn’t got asked to make a layout proposal :(

1. Topic: General
2. New Layout

that is the major problem with statistics… we have collected opinions from people around us, who preferred the miniature layout. But now some cry babies like Ulisses will start whining here. lol, kidding guys. Well, it is like Gabriel said, you can change from one to the other with very few clicks. Also, about the color: we will add the option to choose whatever color you want for the header. :)

and do blame Franca for the newspaper, I asked him to work on that screen and he did not have time to do it. :D

2. 2nd anniversary treat?

just to clarify that some things were only “ported” to the new layout, without adjustments. those will come next. the newspaper is a good example of this situation.

1. Topic: General
2. New Layout

Standard layout is the default for new users, we put the miniature as default for existing users cause they were already used to icons instead of menus. Regarding size, it adjusts to fit different screen resolutions so if you have a big resolution things will look fairly spread. But we need to consider the most used resolution from our users is 1024×768 (23% of our visits).

so…what did we get then? :) Did I miss something? :)

1. Topic: General
2. New Layout

Standard layout is more intuitive. I think it should be good to set this as default.

I know it is hard to say, but my first impression is that this new layout is slower and bigger (it seems that my 19" monitor is not enough anymore). If I could choose like skins, I would prefer old one because of speed and size layout.

And green as default color make me feel more calm, but this is just a girlie comment.

2. New Layout

Yeah… big chance…I first thought I was on the wrong site :D
.
My first impression: Nice. Allthough I find the green for 95+ skills on the colorized player page a bit too flashy.
More impressions wil follow….

1. Topic: General
2. 2nd anniversary treat?

first impression is great… will keep posting gradually about my thoughts……

2. 2nd anniversary treat?

Thanks Filipe, anyways we are working on the rough edges of the layout.. and probably will be for the next few months ;)

I told them the miniature layout is evil, but they won’t listen ;) Nevertheless we’d like the users to have more options, initially we also had a third layout option called “Tiny”, which might be added at a later date.

PS: I didn’t do the newspaper part, don’t blame me guys

well… guys… i am just overwhelmed right now… will post my thoughts after i have gone through the whole thing throughly…

just wanted to say i didn’t think the change was gonna be this big in terms of User Interface…

1. Topic: General
2. 2nd anniversary treat?

AhAH my 4th guess was right :D It looks great Gabriel, it is slower than the old one (at least in my pc) but I guess you are still working on that, I like it more without the miniatures, the menus are great.

Happy birthday to us :D

I’ve created this topic for discussions around the new layout. Let me start with a comment. It is possible to alternate between what we call miniature layout and standard layout. By default all existing users were set to use the miniature layout (menu icons in the left side of the screen) but if you don’t like it you can go to your settings page (gears icon) and uncheck the miniature layout option. It may be necessary to exit and enter in the dimension again.

Cheers!

I would also like to add that you have 2 options of layout. If you go to your manager settings screen, you can remove the miniature layout and use an expanded layout version.
