@Suty The implementation of the new interface isn't very functional. The icons are not easily clustered into groups on the screen; ie wind, on top, then precipitation, next humidity. They install randomly and don't provide any indication of what data set they reference until you hover over it. So it basically becomes a exercise in "hunt and peck. In my case, the icons display in a minimum of two rows which uses more screen real estate then I'd like to lose. IMO, this new UI has degraded the quality of the Windy project.
Simply, on the mobile platform this works. On the the desktop it doesn't, it's just annoying. So much so I'll probably cancel my premium subscription and go back to another weather app.

Yes, that's what I mean. Asking us to experiment with layers that you are testing isn't a solution especially since you're not providing guidance and instructions.

Next time, I suggest disabling beta or new features and have users opt-in as a beta before implementing without full user input (not do what Google does and only listens to their Google employees around the world). Those people aren't typically wired like us "normal" people.

@rogerbcooper I agree. @Suty please listen to us. It's not that we don't want or like change, but the change you have forced upon us is terrible and hasn't taken into account what us average users expect.

@ramzik99 Do you have any specific issues or unanswered questions about the new UI? I would like to help you to better understand the new design.

For starters, let's offer users the opportunity to have dark mode especially in the forums. Most people use Chrome and your fonts are ridiculously light, thin, and difficult to view on a white background. While there are Extension visual enhancers, they still can't fix the degree of how light the fonts are. Clearly, your team have not tested on Chrome but Edge which doesn't have as serious issue.

And the reason I came here is to report the new GUI with the legend avatars (whatever they're called) for clouds, wind, and more on the right sidebar. They are interfering and overlapping with the map and we have difficulty in selecting the appropriate legend we want to use.
