variational's current ui cooks the proposed new one.
i believe i speak for everyone when i say we need the ui to fade into the background and let price action be the focus. and the old ui does that way better.
the new one looks modern at first glance but honestly speaking, the old interface feels cleaner and easier to trade on for long periods. might just be cause i'm already used to the old one tho.
biggest issue is it feels visually shouty. too many elements at the same time. brighter blues and the contrast is just too much, panels are too thick taking up spacing.
some specific things i noticed;
firstly, bring back the "variational OMNI" at the top left.
we should also get to choose if we want out balance to be displayed at the top right, please don't remove it completely.
buttons and highlighted sections draw too much attention constantly.
the right side order panel in old ui feels cleaner and more professional.
the contrast in old version is easier on the eyes fr.
new ui feels more gamified while old one feels more trader focused, and is giving institutional grade standards.
the only thing about the new ui i like is the fact it looks modern. tone down the visual intensity. reduce unnecessary emphasis, soften some contrast, improve spacing and make secondary info quieter.
overall the new ui has potential but old ui currently provides a better trading experience from usability and focus perspective.
if you're yet to try out the new ui on variational
head on to the "more" tab and click "omni testnet"
access the trading terminal with "TESTCODE"
do well to leave your feedback afterwards.
viva la var.
which ui do you prefer
