I think terrible design, and it was the last drop in K2. Progress of component development very slow, and now they changed ALL - cut design from V3 and paste it in V2 What for? What are you doing people?
I loved that V2 design and now we have all this big stuff - big field for big screens. Not my way.

I am sorry you feel this way but this was a business decision.
We cannot maintain two versions with completely different UI.
K2 will have a uniform design. I'm sorry you feel this way.

Hey @Javi_Mata and @Vyatka consider creating a template override that resembles the 2.6x series.

I'm sure there are others who might feel the same way and would appreciate a solution.

Overall I like the direction of 2.7. As with any change some people will love it, some will hate it, but I think it's good to keep moving forward.

I'm kind of getting used to the UI (user interface) but I agree that it feels too large. It's really not all that different from previous versions but the display settings page is kind of hard to see the different sections and could be more obvious and smaller to avoid unnecessary vertical scrolling.

UI can be a tricky business and I've fallen into the trap many times of "I know where it is and so will everyone else". User feedback is essential for good UI.

Hi @LanceThompson I agree with you. Progress/Change can be painful at times, but the key is progress.

As for the UI size/proportions, I can understand how someone can feel as though elements are "too" large.

I am using a 15" laptop and the new UI impacts my screen real estate.

I would suggest someone to provide a CSS override, along with screenshots or a demo site so people can see if they like it before implementing the CSS overrides. Hopefully a K2er with some CSS skills will accept the challenge. Note: I am not a CSS Whiz, so I am limited to only offering the suggestion and #JFeedback once it's ready to ship :)

Your thoughts?

It's always subjective, what is good or bad. For me, the new UI is definitely progress and a step in the right direction.

The new version looks good and seems to be working. One thing I noticed is that the "close" button is not working when you use the frontend editor.

Overall I like it. Glad my custom files still work & responsiveness is fresh air for k2. before when I tried to create 3 columns I'd get some div clear issue I couldn't fix with my limited knowledge. I use boostrap t3 framework. Now responsive works with any bootstrap column class.

request. editing the parameters is a slight annoyance on big monitors. maybe some form of container for them would be great. currently is is fluid . Also maybe using a more prominent method to separate primary, secondary, lead parameters. currently there is a very small thin horizontal separate only for primary and not the rest. maybe adding some padding tot them?
