[SOLVED] Ongoing status updates with new UI for Gear Isolation

[Snoopy8]

I just have checked out the demo, and I don't want to sound ungrateful for all the hard work that you've put into the new GUI, but I find your old one much better visually.
I think that the new Dashboard icons (wizard, networking, disk, player, etc) are redundant and not sitting well with the rest of the design, since they are not sharing the same visual style. They are too big and too colorful.
Also, the old design has much better responsive design, that responds to changes in browser width by adjusting the placement of design elements to fit in the available space.
I'm affraid that he new GUI will not fit as good in vertical mode in web browsers on some mobile phones, and that some parts of the interface will be cut off.
I really appreciate the progress you are making on the functional side of the GUI, but the visual side of things is not as polished and proffessional looking as your old design.

Thank you for the feedback. I see the GUI as a necessary technology upgrade and thus the most important part to get working properly. I do prefer a simpler style, with more muted colours but am no style expert. I can live with the new interface as long as the functionality works. But I do get your point that some people may not like the new GUI.

Some of the audiophile crowd are spoiled, and they will not appreciate the great and unique tweaking features Snakoil has as much as they will appreciate the ease of handling, the sleek user interface and polished user experience.
I'm recommending Snakeoil to all of my friends, but the majority of them are not able to install it by themselves. They are lost with the latest version especially - WinSCP and SSH are too much for them.
Please take my criticism as my desire for Snakeoil OS to take its rightful place along with the rest of the competing software like Volumio and others.

I do agree that it requires some knowledge to install SnakeOil and many people will not be able to install it by themselves. Personally, I think WinSCP and SSH are easy enough to use, but it be worthwhile for Agent Kith to explore whether the install process can be simplified further.
