Backstory:
The In-Game Menu is a feature in Roblox that allows you to change settings, view active users in that experience & lets you view what the controls are in the Help section.

To this day, i am still liking the V3 menu because it is one of the most feature-packed versions out of all, partly because you can see the experience’s information directly from it. Unfortunately, in 2023, it has silently removed, leaving only the original menu remain.
So i design a potential V5 menu could look like.
Note: This is all done with Roblox Studio’s UI Editor & @Staric14’s UIBlox Plugin.
Woah, this feels like it could be something that Roblox would make. It’s very clean and matches the theme of the Roblox menu. That search feature would be a very neat idea. Also, on the left bar, is the empty square meant for your avatar? Perhaps, something to do with avatar editing?
As good and well made as it is, I’m really not a fan of the UI being on the side of the screen.
One of the benefits of the current UI is that its centered, its where you’re already looking, plus there’s generally more space to fit everything and its generally more readable.
I used the V3 UI once and I found it was absolute garbage from a user experience standpoint.
It was just really annoying to use because of how much I had to move the mouse all over the screen constantly, and everything was just in uncomfortable positions, this UI seems to be pretty much identical with those issues I had.
Its clunky, everything’s too spaced and there’s barely any space to actually fit anything worthwhile.
