    It's OK for Portrait mode, but it looks odd in landscape to me - too much white space on the left and right. Since I mostly run CP on my Portrait monitor, it's not a problem, but I'm unusual in having the choice, I think. What do you guys think?

      The main menu is on the right side now, instead of the left. Other than that, nothing major to complain about. My usual layout is "fixed" and that seems fine so far.

        Until a couple of weeks ago all colors were muddy and matte but after today both eyes have had Cataract surgery and the colors are so vivid and the whites so white, it's given me a whole new outlook on life.

            I've literally just loaded the Lounge and the new layout immediately gave me a sense of vertigo / seasickness. It felt like I was falling off the left edge of the screen! I suppose I could get used to it but the tree menu being on the right just feels wrong.

              I prefer the "tree" on the left. Also, too much wasted space. Change for change sake?

                      The normal paradigm has been menus on the left, so on the right is weird. Also feels kinda squished. Maybe there's a rational explanation for the change?

                      I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

                        Wow! This must have happened during my 2 hour torture session. (phone call with the sr. partner and a client) :laugh: Right now, I'm not liking it. IMHO, navigation links should be on the left. I suppose I can get used to it though.

                          Yeah, yuck. At least expand the width of the forum to the width of my screen (landscape mode) + accounting for the stuff on the right.

                            Oh that's interesting. I hadn't realized that - it looks unbalanced now. Menus should be on the left. :-D

                                Until a couple of weeks ago all colors were muddy and matte but after today both eyes have had Cataract surgery and the colors are so vivid and the whites so white, it's given me a whole new outlook on life.

                                  I didn't even notice it had changed until your post. Even then I had to look at it for several minutes before I realized the nav tree had moved to the right side. In my defense, your phrase "new look" had me expecting a major difference in the whole theme, so I spent a few moments hitting Ctrl-F5 and looking around for a "sneak peek at our new look" link. :laugh:

                                    I just got my right eye done today so it's going to be a couple of weeks before I can get out with my camera but am really looking forward to it. In the past everything was fuzzy and dull, with the lenses they installed and cataracts removed things should be more in focus and colorful. In the past I had to rely on the camera, which is not all bad it's a D850 but there's so much more I want to do with it.

                                        It's OK for Portrait mode, but it looks odd in landscape to me - too much white space on the left and right. Since I mostly run CP on my Portrait monitor, it's not a problem, but I'm unusual in having the choice, I think. What do you guys think?

                                          We had a missing CSS rule. Try refreshing and see if that helps

                                          cheers Chris Maunder
