    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.

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

      To my mind the left edge is the logical place for the forum tree.

        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 know you love photography. I can't imagine the improvement the surgery has given your eyes in regards to photography and all that goes with that. :thumbsup:

          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?

          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 still narrow and the forums are on the right. But even more importantly, the formatting toolbar is missing, at least when writing a Lounge post.

                      "It" being the width of the forum messages / main panel? Matthew fixed the missing format bar.

                        CTRL+F5 makes no difference. This message text box looks Ok though.

                          Yes, the width of those things. Or am I just being fooled because the layout has flipped? I see that the format bar has returned.

                            The RHS was 160px, it's now 300px. The LHS was 170px. It's now 0. There's about 20px os extra space added between the forums and the RHS. That means the net change is about 10px wider forums that had a RH bar (eg Bugs and Suggs) and a 150px reduction in width for forums that didn't have a RH bar (eg the Lounge). We can tweak.

                                      Okay, I know I'm getting old, but God meant menus to be on the left! If not, He would have inspired Chris, David, Uwe, et al, to create the original with a right side menu panel. It just ain't right! At the very least, make the silly thing follow me down that page as I scroll so I don't have to scroll all the way up to find it.

                                      Will Rogers never met me.

                                        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?

                                        I think, put it back to how it was. It was fine previously and menus on the right are just a little eccentric - I can't think of any other UI where the menu is on the right. I won't get started on my stop changing things for the sake of change rant... oh there I go... :laugh:

                                          The menu went from left to right, but that's it. Don't really like it as I now have to look all the way to the left edge of my screen. Maybe 10px margin between the screen's edge and text (I checked and it's 9px) :~ Besides, by far most menu's I've seen were on the left, that's just where I'd expect it.
