Description of the new feature / enhancement
The recent Fluent UX changes have been detrimental in regards to usability, accessibility, and in the eyes of many that I have questioned about this matter aestheticsally as well.
The new UI, besides being oddly laid out (why are colors now in a tiny scroll bar the top?), has some major usability issues:
- Color Swatches at the top of the window are too small to make out quickly
- Color Swatches with a scrollbar is hard to use, as the scroll bar is too thin and difficult to grab with a mouse, especially for people with a motoric disability, and does not allow for using the mouse scroll wheel either (besides having a scrollbar oddly lodged in at the top is just really awkward visually)
- It's hard to compare colours between swatches as they no longer border on one another
- Shades visualisation is too thin and hard to make out
- Shades visualisation changes lightness when hovered over for selection
- Shades visualisation is not aligned properly between border of the window and colour format list
Scenario when this would be used?
Especially for people with visual or motoric impairments this new UI is detrimental - but in general on larger screens or for people with a further distance from the screen the new UI is proving extremely difficult to use.
