The new layout is not user friendly

Dear Windy Team,
I have been a long-time user of Windy, particularly for its aviation features. I wanted to share some feedback on the recent updates, specifically regarding the changes in the display of information when I input IATA or ICAO codes.
Similar to previous version when I entered an IATA or ICAO code, it promptly displays essential information such as METAR and TAF, accompanied by the METEOGRAM on the side.
However I select "Reports from weather station at this airport," I receive a new set of details like "Temperature Detail," "Wind Detail," and "Observation vs Forecast," along with images that obscure the map whereas the previously, the system would show meteograms and comparisons from various forecast models for future dates, providing a comprehensive overview.
Now, to access similar information, I find myself having to deselect everything and manually click on the location for a forecast to obtain the information required from options Basic, Wave & Tide, Wind, Meteogram, Airgram, and then selecting the required forecast models.
Is there any way to streamline the process and revert to the more efficient and user-friendly interface that the previous version offered? I found the ability to quickly access the necessary information, including meteograms and forecast model comparisons, extremely valuable. I hope you can consider incorporating this functionality or provide an alternative solution that allows for a more seamless user experience.
Thank you -

@Grahamaf Hello, yes we changed the station module in the latest update and it is not possible to get the old visualization unfortunately.

Interesting to read, that also for aviators the new windy version is bad in terms of interaction efficiency.
As a sailor I have the same view on the new version. It is simply way less efficient in getting to the relevant information. I reported this many, many times, but apparently the windy team is very happy with the new version, which I can not understand in any way.
It is very, very sad, that apparently someone at windy thought that it is a good idea to try to reinvent the wheel and implement something like a rectangle instead.
Even more sad, that apparently feedback from the paying customers is irrelevant to the windy team.
