There is so many different phones with screen sizes, notches, display cutouts, aspect ratios. We need to find a good place for all the interfaces we have in RS3. We would have to do that all again for portrait. An example we can't put loot top left due to users with S10+.

In portrait mode that display cut-out will be on top of chat. We are happy if you want to force it. But we can't guarantee you will have a perfect exp.

Any updates on a portrait mode?

We will not be supporting portrait mode.

I pay I say :(

Could have got a galaxy fold. Oh wait...

Dev crys at the potential issues with foldable phones

We have a few issues with display cut-outs, it will be fixed in a future release.

I must say I thought the same when I implemented it. Its a good shortcut so a med level and fill a gap in the skill.

Why is the mobile client still saying 2018?

Yea my bad. I typed 2018 into the box. It will be fixed soon.

Could you also open the ship/voyage tab on captain's log by default? It's mainly used to remotely check ships, not resources/goods.

That will also go out monday

Fix will go out on monday.

My mistake this should have been transparent, will fix.

Well added to the problem is its a real shame the legacy skin can only use the brown colour. The reason i use the legacy skin is cus its neat and tidy and actually looks nice thematically, i utterly hate how the new layout has like 100 windows and tabs all competing for space

But is there really any reason not to allow an option for the blue menu colour in either skin type?

I do want to decuple skin colour from what interface mode you have. All the mobile changes that i have been making will allow this to happen.

Well, I liked it a lot actually. I don't agree with most comments on the new UI. Aside from some actual bugs, obviously, like the wrong icons.

I have a bug fix job hopefully going out Monday that will resolve a number of issues people have raised.

I agree, but more than that, can we get the ports book fixed so it shows currently active voyages by default? It used to be that you could click and immediately see if any ships have returned, and how long the others have left. Now it shows you your resources, but what's the point of seeing them if you're not even in your port to do anything with them?

Most players use the book for TPs and to check which ships need to be sent out again/how long is left on voyages, more often to check what POP resources they have available.

That was not intentional that will be fixed.

If you're trying to be consistent, why on earth would you revert back the the tan/brown overly simple interface theme that almost all other interfaces have move AWAY FROM in favor of the new blue theme. Are you normally an osrs dev?

That's the legacy skin...

i hope im right in saying that youre trying to update interfaces to adopt responsive design, like modern websites now use https://gfycat.com/FabulousSpitefulArabianwildcat so that you can develop single uis that work both for desktop and mobile. its very hard to do that with images that arent tilable and cant be manipulated without deforming.

Yes. Everything built in the last few years is using a template system. To add a button you say "I would like a positive button (yellow) called submit."

Then the code goes. "Ok the user is in legacy so the button will look like this. " Or on mobile something different. In the future we can add a new skin. So we just extend 1 button which will cascade through every button in the game.

Instead the old ports used something much older. The graphics for button was baked into the interface. So as a dev you would need to manually position 3 or sometime 9 graphics that make a button and place a piece of text on top. For every button :(

As everything was baked no skin support.

If you look at my Twitter profile you can see the work i have been doing for around 2 years to unifie every interface in the game.

Also beer is not showing (Top left corner, seems like the window is there but glitched)

Thanks added to the list.

Hey all, there has been lots of posts regarding my ports interface redesign and I thought I jump in.

So firstly I agree with the new design has lost some of its visual charm. It does look quite bland in comparasant, but overall I believe it's an improvement.

So mostly the reason why we reworked the interface is to remove lots of the legacy UI assets and old interface builders. Trying to clean up the overall UI system behind the scenes. This will provide big improvements to performance, maintenance and speed in the future. Also removing lots of custom sprites that POP had will also reduce cache size which will help desktop and mobile players.

Another benefit of using a template system is that if we ever decide to create a ports update in the future it will be much easier for new content to be added.

I have already completed a job that will hopefully go out next week which will fix a few bugs (resource icon and log issues in particular) and some tweaks to the positioning of some ...

Frankly can you just return it as close as possible to what it was before. The wood textures help make it look nicer but theres more which just doesnt look nice at all atm

Theres the more fancy and ornate looking borders and frames which made each part of the interface actually look like it belonged. The more ornate designs made this whole interface stand out as a far more polished design over any of the other interfaces you lot have made since. Theres all the empty space, plus the drop down menu of resources just looks like an eye sore atm. Overall it was just way better and more fitting the way it was before

If you look at the before and after side by side, theres really no comparison: https://i.redd.it/ln1kno3iw5g21.png

Even this posts example is still rather lacking compared to how polished and good it looked before, its just lost its ports charm

If this whole thing was done just cus of mobile, then why not give mobile its own more blander interface if its needed, dont bring the computer client down with it, just makes the game look worse >_<

Please dont just screw up ports like this then say "we might look at it again sometime in the future", thats just really bad for a company to do and doesnt bode well if this is the future of rs development style

Posted a reply on that thread.

It works even less on mobile than it didn't before. Some information is just plain not accessible now.

Overall usability improvements are better on mobile but its not finished. We have bigger systems to build first. Tooltips for example.
