@peterh337 Totally hate new Windy upgrade too.
They have made changes to PC version, as if they had their mind that PC monitors are like cellphones.
They degraded the easiness of things and they made it worse!
Too bad. Windy is completely destroyed for me now :(
@Toni-Mendes said in I do NOT like the new interface :-(:
Also NOT a fan! It works on mobile but not on a desktop. The previous UI was much more usable.
You should do a mix of the two, with the drop down menus from the previous interface and the round images showcasing each filter in the drop down menu.
They will not do it. They will never admit their work was in the wrong direction so they will insist old things can be done now too silently forgetting they need more clicks or be way less convenient now in PC.
On a PC there is no need to save screen space and make things WORSE/need more clicks to achieve something!
On old UI you wanted to see clouds and then see low clouds and then middle clouds? Click clouds and then it expanded to see high/low/medium level clouds. Now? You must fill your home screen with all these options. What if I want wind gusts too? Should I fill homepage with all these options?
What was wrongwith the old method of clicking and expanding and they had to worsen it??
On old gui you wanted to see wind and see for 700 hPa? Select wind and then without clicking anything you can select any level you want. Now you have to extra click altitude and then press X to close it as it fills the screen with the extra menu.
Amazing stuff. Instead of improving it they had made it much worse.
And what about labels? How can you disable them now? Old UI had a javascript trick now it doesn't work. Reason I did not go premium was that they had not made(since 2 years I have asked) such a simple option available to remove labels(cities etc).
Now with all these ridiculous worsening changes I would not even use it.
I see Windy had an upgrade these days with many things to have been changed.
I'm talking about "PC/browser Windy" and not the cellphone app Windy.
Can we now disable labels from the map or it's like before and we can't?
But before by writing in the console the following it worked: javascript:W.labelsLayer.remove()
And labels would disappear.
But now after the upgrade, it doesn't.
Can anyone suggest something similar that disables labels(cities names and temperatures etc) to appear on the screen?
@Flachkurbler said in I do NOT like the new interface :-(:
It is quite impressive to see (once again) how a change in management can make all the difference in the success of a product.
While the founder of Windy was a pilot and kitesurfer in need of a great weather tool, it is very obvious that the new leadership is not using their product for any real purpose, like i.e. flight preparation. Otherwise they would have figured out on there own, that the new UI broke the tool.
But as they already demonstrated with the app changes: they will not listen to the users.
So it is now time for me to move on.
It seems we all talk in the air. They will NOT listen.
I was using Windy every day for 0.5-2 hours and would get premium the moment they would do a simple thing to be able to get the labels off(but they ignored all my messages about that), but now I have to leave it.
@rittels said in Permanently install plugin?:
You can create a bookmark and put this is the url field:
javascript:W.labelsLayer.remove()then, once you have opened windy.com, click this bookmark and the labels will disappear.
Hi there, do you have any similar trick in your bag for the newest Windy update?
Thanks in advance.
