Does anyone else think the 3.6.1 UI is... less attractive... than 3.4.5?

So after much putzing, I finally was able to get all my data from
3.4.5 over to 3.6.1, and fix the weird CSS issue (long story, not the
best method at all, but it worked) However, now that I’m able to log
into my shiny new 3.6.1 system and looking around, the look and feel is
vastly different from 3.4.5. Has anyone else had this same problem,
or could I not have gotten out of the woods yet on this CSS issue? Does
anyone have any screenshots of a good working 3.6.1 install?

Many thanks!

You know that 3.6 comes with a 3.4 look-alike stylesheet, right? You can
toggle it in the config file.

I installed v3.6.1 recently and it worked fine, everything came up on
the screen “OK” but ewww, I definitely did not like the new look.

You can change it back by editing the config

vi /opt/rt3/etc/RT_Config.pm

Set($WebDefaultStylesheet, ‘3.4-compat’);

My workmates have not asked for it to be set back to v3.6 style so sorry
I can’t send you a screen shot. :slight_smile:

Hello,

I have not had any issue with the new appearence, but I think the new
face of RT is sometimes not very coherent particularly wrt menu nesting
and formatting. I someway feel the old look is somewhat less cool, but
also more simple and effective.

But this is just the (biased) pov of a tech dealing with commandline
systems on a daily basis.

Hello,

I prefer the new look, no complaints or 'ewww’s from the users when
I installed the new version.

I actually like it much better than the old one… At one location I am
using FogBugz which really is slick and this comes closer to it looks
wise. Functionality wise I would say RT is lots farther ahead in
flexibility and being able to make modifications yourself.

My one complaint is that, as someone else mentioned, a lot of screen
area is taken up with stuff in the top… I was thinking one bar across
the top with the super relevent stuff

Ticket # Que : Subject : Prority : Owned By : Status

And all the rest of that gone

That would be nice. When I have time to breath I will poke around some

OK, let me see… I’m going to switch to the 3.4-compat theme overnight.
Let’s see what kind of reactions users will have tomorrow. :smiley:

Some further critique:

  • “recent tickets” cannot be sorted by last update any more
  • in the articel view, there are no horizontal color seperators any more
    between transactions, which is a bit confusing

Are you using the 3.4-compat CSS or the 3.5 CSS?

Hello,

I was using the 3.5 css and switched to 4.3-compat after reading
Dieter’s article.

My second point was probably due to a messed-up Display.html .

So there remains only the issue with “my tickets”.

Thanks for your reply,
