      Also where is the altitude slider which I use all the time?

      The altitude slider is shown by a Plane icon.

        On a small screen (iPad) with the new web UI you need to use it in portrait mode to see all icons.

        Otherwise in landscape mode, the icons are NOT displayed with text. They are unreadable and the “Plane” icon is missing

          Some features are nice, joining the menus helps but the new menu and the large horrible confusing colorful icon backgrounds are a waste of space. The grouping of icons are missing, what happend? A minimalistic grouped menu options should be a quick job for you to restore/add for desktop users

              @rsjorgenamundsen Did you check group of layers, that sort layers in groups based on the topic?

                Hi ! not happy at all with the new version of the desktop ! a computer is not a mobile phone, it is confusing. Please offer the possibility to have the choice at least. Here is a example of how it looks when you have geographics names near by the logos, not clear at all..
                Thanks

                  @GrigoryA Also, regarding the plugin system, we informed all developers of them 2 months ago about the new implementation.

                  Dear @Suty,

                  Thank you, please can I ask for what is meant by "new implementation"?

                  The reason for asking is that it would be helpful to understand what support we can give Victor to have the plugin made compatible again soon.

                  Best regards Nigel

                    @nrbray Regarding this, I think @vicb could provide info, since I don't know his exact situation with this update. I am sorry about that.

                      @Suty I'm on it.
                      People can contribute code, good karma, or money via buymeacoffee.com/vic.b
                      The later option might yield a faster availability :)
                      It should be ready within a week

                          I might start to be repetitive, but:

                          • you decided to destroy perfectly working system just because of what? I perfectly understand devs ego to do "state of the art" things just because they can, but it's kindergarden behaviour. Unfortunately this new UI is the state of the wrong art. Did you do any research beforehand? Did you show your brilliant idea to a single paying user and get anything close to "it's exactly what I dream about!"?
                          • you are not the first company (and for sure not biggest) who shoot itself in the foot for no reason. But why? why would you do it? Could you control your devs ego a bit?
                          • it's your problem that plugins are not converted to new UI. On what basis did you decide that 2 months is enough time for plugin maintainers? Do you realize that one or other pluging might be the major reason for user to pay for windy? You could easily postpone this new UI till majority of plugings will be converted... And believe me no one will be missing your new UI even if it will be posponed for 20 years..

                          What you can (easily) do now:

                          • revert back to prev version for people who ask for it - all of us?
                          • make windy-2 and satisfy your devs ego there. You may make separate subscription for it, experiment to any level of madness/excellence there. People will switch to new in no time when new will be at least as useful as old one.

                          PS.
                          your Sounding implementation is not as useful as one from plugin. Just have a look side by side and spot the diff.

                                experience shows that it gets worse and worse when you "optimize" the interface

                                  But, the pinning doesn't work the way it does on the mobile app. At least on mobile there is a separate pinned menu. Here, every time I pin the order changes. This is not a robust format. The interface may make more sense on mobile, for for web browsing this is not it.

                                    Hello,
                                    (desktop user)

                                    • I find the new graphical icons not relevant, please bring back pictograms icons, it is more intuitive and legeble.
                                    • New position and organisation of the menu is ok.
                                    • Options to pin the favorites layers on main screen is ok.
                                    • Altitude bar in the menu only is bad, please let the option to acces on main screen.
                                    • On the previous "more maps" menu the possibility to have big preview of maps with short animations when hoover mouse was great.
                                    • The interface apperance is globally big, usually I zoom out at 80% to have normal readability and save space.

                                    Thanks

                                      because they think it will attract more users, because of the pretty little pictures are more "user friendly and attractive"

                                          Hello,
                                          Long time (happy) user and promoter, first time commenting/posting.
                                          Agree it's the first time windy goes in the wrong direction with this UI change.

                                          I support the idea to rollback or ad a toggle button to choose between graphical icon or text+mini icon as it was before ;-) (app and desktop)

                                          Thanks in advance !
