How do I opt out of photon ui?
I also used a car analogy a couple of days ago in another thread. The DeLorean in the 1980s looked a lot more modern than did a Ford Escort in the 1980s. Ah, cutting edge stuff! Looks fantastic!!
But guess which one has a sporting chance of still working now. Indeed, guess which one had a sporting chance of actually working in the 1980s and performing the actual required function of a car, getting from A to B.

There is a trick to customer services and itās to separate yourself from the company. If I come to customer services with a torn shirt and want my money back, maybe Iām overheated because it was for my wedding, the absolute worst thing the rep can do is to take it personally.
When you do that you take the focus away from the actual problem, a torn shirt caused by a companyās quality control issues, and put all the focus on the repās feelings instead. Then all you got is a customer feeling even more angry and frustrated and nothing ever gets fixed.
This is the same blank space issue we had with the skills window, as it was then itās fairly obvious that this is an issue with not testing on multiple sized monitors before release, and then not understanding customer complaints in testing because it looks fine on their monitor.

you donāt,you cannotā¦itās obligatoryā¦ccp forces you to use itā¦end of story 
for what itās worth, this is my (compact) Photon UI undocked, single monitor 27" (not a 4Kā¦), itās almost exactly the same as with the old UI - admittedly after some extra work. The only thing I havenāt tried is multiple overviews, because I do lack the space for that on the screen - but I can live without it.
In case I made blunders with my setup, please advise

You guys dont really want feedback, you just ban and erase anything that doesnt say what you want it to say.

Thank you, proved to me that you can move the notification button, which I had tried to do before because it was blocking the new location for Loot All, but I clearly gave up too easily when it refused the fence. Have now finally forced the little beggar into a new spotā¦

It should be noted that for WH you need to bring the locations window out so you can see the rest of the information, expiry is a pretty important one. Also you lack a * btw stick one on the structure or place you will emergency warp to and it will go to the top of your bookmarks
You guys are really already beginning to workaround this crappy ui instead of simply denying to use it and forcing ccp to put it into the trashbin where it belongs?

Itās not like it would make a difference if they did. CCP clearly are not listening to the players. Letās hope that CCP doesnāt burn all the good faith that it has like Wizards of the Coast has with D&D. Again very different circumstances, but same principle.

Iām here on behalf of my scanner team, Iām not going to tell them to dock up because I dislike the UI, but I can come on here and whine about/highlight specific issues, like the recall probe button being for ants in the vague hope that someone will listen and put it in the big blank space on the bottom of the scanner window.
Ideally with the old UI in place as CCP look at the screenshots people are making and go āyeh wow that is a lot of wasted blank spaceā

Right, I havenāt in this system, no, in other systems I do (with ā!ā or ā*ā or ā.ā etc) if needed, and use a bread crumb system when I map wh chains (with the exits towards origin marked with ā!ā). Iirc I picked that up from one of Ashyās videos and modified it a bit further for my needs. A typical wh bm would look like ā! -3 XYZ (Jnumber)(class) (size) (EOL)ā, with ā-3ā being the third layer in the chain iow number of jumps to my origin. Something like +4 would mean it would take me one extra jump away from point of origin when Iām in ālayerā #3, etc etc.
Yeah, hold a few seconds, then drag.
I really wish @ccp_karkur would redo her magic of 2012 and create a fast YT video on tips and tricks with Photon UI. That old video of hers, that she made in her spare time, did miracles for my enjoyment of the (old) UI and game experience, and I guess for a lot of other pilots too. (this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDTk7sWCDm8 , now outdated for a good part)

Iām a boring so and so about bookmarking. When you make a bookmark what you put in notes appears in hover over, so going nul to K space I would breadcrumb with * and add āto jitaā one way and then āto 1DQā on the way back.

Well done CCP - youāve finally made the game unplayable for anyone without a brand new PC/GPU.
