@Aziztibba Thank you for all your reports. We will go through them with colleagues and consider potential changes. Duplicity of the layer is a bug of course, so I already reported it.

As Pressure layer is in “Wind” category and in “Clouds, aviation” category, it does not seems to me to be a bug if it needs to be displayed in “Clouds, aviation” category.
In “Wind” category it is obvious. -
Please, whenever there is enough room, make the model-selection available with a single click again, by displaying all models' names side-by-side. With the new version, it takes 3 clicks in different locations to change the model: Open the model-popup, select the model, close the popup.For the Meteogram I often like to compare ECMWF and Icon-EU (or -D2), which is now rather cumbersome.

Seriously, requiring multiple clicks to switch between models is a huge regression in usability, and I can't see any advantages to the change. The pop-up doesn't give any additional functionality from what was there before, it just makes it more tedious to access it.
I pay for Windy premium because the map visualizations are better than any other app, but the UI surrounding it has continued to get worse over time since I've used it in ways that just don't make any sense.

@Timothy-Potts
The advantage of the new version is to display the date and time of the last update for each model. -
Can you please add the bottom bar color to preferences? When I see the red bar I think there's something I need to be concerned about.
Also, why make it so hard to switch models? I saw a comment that it says when they were last updated .. but as far as I can tell it does not. As in I have to select each one to see when it was updated last, just like before.
If I have to select each one to see when it last updated, then there is no extra functionality here. I was able to see that before by clicking on the names in the bar at the bottom of the screen.

Please please bring back the option to switch models with a single click. Having to do three clicks in three different locations is a huge downgrade of user experience, especially when part of the UI occludes exactly the area where I am looking when I switch between the models. Having the info about the last model update is important, for sure, but there must be million other places where it can be displayed. "Compare forecasts" is not the equivalent of switching between models - it doesn't update the map with the corresponding model, which is one of the selling points of the whole app.

@skov241 Agree with this, massive downgrade in functionality not being able to switch between models in a single click.

Looks to me like you did another "improvement" not really improving anything.
(Yes, I still remember how you handled feedback about your clumsy new menu)
It is like you do something nice, but then decide to mess up some other things, and opinion of users does not matter to you.Like you did before - you destroyed a smart, tightly made menu with clumsy and confusing picture icons, taking much more space so it is slower to use - and decided it is best thing ever you did, despite endless comments otherwise.
AND NOW - I notice ugly red-brown stripe at the bottom of my PC monitor, with changed menu.
Instead of model selectors before - I now need to open drop-down menu, select model, then close menu. 2 extra clicks each time I need to see different models, and the red stripe is distracting from main image (actual weather image), ugly, and serves no purpose. and the drop-down menu? WHY????? There is so much space empty. maybe on a tablet it makes sense, but i use large PC monitor and it is just weird.
(https://pasteboard.co/CEbICOPsCvah.png)I guess it is another thing we need to love, because you would not go back, correct?
