Better yet, how do you get rid of the ridiculous/useless icons, & just have a text list?

This 'update' is terrible, waste of screen space. Who can tell the difference between all the stupid icons? Now you have to open the menu, & scroll through. New isn't always better. Bringing back the 'old' would be a major improvement.

@mark-ingalls Why bother getting used to the 'new', when the 'old' was superior? Reminds me of Firefox when they did an 'upgrade' which like this is actually a downgrade. I had to find a new browser, which I did. FF is still on my devices, but hardly ever gets used. I haven't looked yet, has anybody found a replacement Windy?

@Suty How do you unpin icons? I don't speak or read 'icons', especially the new Windy speak icons. I have to hover on them to get a 'translation'. I have to go into the Menu to find what I want (which varies), then scroll down & click "Display more layers" then continue scrolling, all because of all the new icon clutter.

@Manfred-Herz said in Please bring back the previous interface for desktop:

@Suty The new inteface is just not usefull. Those icons are way too big and confusing. I would like to have the small icons for better overview and faster navigation.

Why have icons at all? No matter how big or small, you can't 'read' them. All they do is take up space.

Tried to post yesterday, but said it was out catching wind? So, the large 'untranslated' gibberish balloons are back, argh!
I'm writing this on a Windows11 machine, which I mostly use. I have 2 W.10 machines, both of which have the small 'translated' balloons. What a mess.

@Suty I just loaded a new Windy page, & the big gibberish icon balloons with no 'translation' disappeared, replaced by smaller gibberish icon balloons with 'translations' (text)! Well, that's a little better. However just being able to make the smaller 'translated' icons appear, but not in any meaningful order, is not what I would call 'manage'. Playing around in the Menu, if I look (without pinning) at some of the pollution ones towards the bottom, like SO2, the big gibberish untranslated balloons return. Then go back to small balloons w/text when I return to something towards the top of the Menu!?! Weird

@hbeil said in icons:

The icons are rather confusing, not a positive addition.

I'd go a step farther, they are a useless waste of space.
