cjard Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Just a point of HCI note guys: You should never use colour alone to convey information, especially in IT. If your target audience is largely male, then you run into the issue that somewhere in the region of 10% of males suffer some form of colour vision deficiency.The new icons for the Seed/Finished/Downlaoding/Queued/Queued Seed etc look very nice and modern, but broadly speaking, they are all the same shape and use colour to differentiate between the meaning; this is very poor HCI.Can someone tell me how to install the old icon set? The shapes were much different and really helped determine the state of a torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Determination Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Interesting HCI point, and the post you are looking for is here. It's a bit dated at the moment, but the information you need is under Usage. You can find alternate skins here.On a side note, does anyone like the new icons? I swear there has been nothing but complaining. sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ul Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I personally like Osmosis & Hilloki's Tango:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=4623&p=2It has clearly defined shapes instead of circular blobs with a tiny shape inside.edit: Determination: I do like your icons for being more colorful & uniform than the previous ones. However, I stopped using them after coming to a similar conclusion Cjard did re: HCI. (the arrow shapes inside the status icons are just too small and hard to distinguish when trapped inside the circles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodStaindHurricane Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Search before posting.In large letters on the homepage, you'll see the word "SKINS". Wonder what this means?Sorry, but there are countless threads on this same subject. "The new UI sux. How can I change it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoicJester Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 he's not saying it sucks, he's saying it's hard for colorblind people to distinguish between some of the icons. it's not an artistic criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
