It is the real new UI, but with extra frames beneath it. It’s made in a way where the circle under the buttons combined with the black transparency makes the same color as the frame beneath them (or at least, very very close to it).

id say it decreases accessibility on a computer
you have to use more energy to move your mouse farther
also thats for WEB DESIGN
not GAME DESIGN

Didn’t know you could do this. Just to show, here’s what the topbar looks like with some new accommodations in an attempt to make the topbar fit with my game’s retro style. Still looks wrong and offputting, but atleast it’s a tad bit something, eh?
Also, look at this peculiar trick:

I’ve been waiting for this for a long while. Thank you.
I had the new experience controls once on mobile, and they were way too big.
I highly suggest making it a bit smaller on phones.
If it weren’t for the fact that the hamburger menu is still persistent, I would have no complaints (apart from the size on desktop). The top bar should be adaptable to all games and their style/UI and that second button just interferes with that logic because it stays there no matter if the developer actually needs anything it does or not. The first button is allowed to stay persistent because it’s a centralized hub of everything the player needs, but if the second one can’t be removed at all even when the developer disables everything it could hold, it just becomes annoying, even to the player, because it’s just a near useless and completely redundant dropdown that reveals a report button - something that is already revealed in the first button.

I don’t get why Roblox is so insistent on keeping Report in the new experience controls. Is there some legal reason behind this or something?
That’s all I can really think of at this point; they want to make reporting more obvious instead of having it be tucked away in the esc menu like it has been for the past 13 years.
But it’s just such a waste of space here. I wish I could remove the hamburger menu entirely, as it breaks immersion in experiences that want to disable as much of Roblox’s UI as possible. Report is the only thing preventing that.
Back when Report was part of the unibar itself it wasn’t as immersion-breaking:

If Roblox really wants to keep the report icon in the experience controls, even if everything is disabled, to make it easier for people to press the report button, is it possible for roblox to make the current hamburger icon change to become the report button when everything else is disabled? That way, reporting, especially on mobile, would be just 1 click or tap instead of 2 clicks, and it would not take up as much space as the dropdown menu or expandable unibar.
EDIT: Also, for games that want to fully hide the report button, is it possible to add a tooltip like this, so that new players would know where the report button is every time they join a game?
^ Image showing Report Icon replacing the hamburger menu if everything else is hidden except for the report button. If roblox does not wish for the report menu to be totally disabled from the unibar menu, this is probably the least they can do to reduce clutter from the bulky menu (although the best option is to hide the unibar entirely)

i said it again, that button was useless because:
Roblox Menu > Report
why they would need this? i prefer when all CoreGuis are disabled, i would only have the Roblox button and nothing else.
I know this button is here to make it easy to close the leaderboard but, why is it low quality an gets cut off??? 
The new HP bar gets quite noticeably ‘squashed’ when it’s low and clips into the border frame:
I know it’s because it’s more than likely just 3 frames using UiCorner but it feels really unpolished for the actual default interface.

Worse. It’s actually just two images stacked on eachother.
So, in addition to it being larger, it doesn’t even properly scale right. Also experiencing this mysterious warnings in console. Nice.

Would love to see options in the future that allow developers or players to reduce the inset height, especially since positioning UI elements beneath the inset becomes much more difficult with the increased size. However, I’ve been very happy with the new APIs that allow for custom UI within the topbar!
Is there any way to get more info than just the inset your GUIs should be placed at? The main use I have for having the inset is to make more buttons that blend in with the other buttons up there. But right now, as far as I can tell, I’d have to manually set button colours, transparency, and padding between buttons. It would be nice if our scripts had access to this info as well as a way to keep up with it potentially changing so that our UI can be truly reactive to whatever changes come.
why does voice chat on solo playtests dont work anymore after this update came out?
it was fixed like a month ago around august 9?
even i fixed this by turning on the team create feature, its still not work.

Found a bug with the hamburger menu. If you open+close it too fast, you can still click Report even though the buttons are no longer visible.
This is much more prominent when Reduced Motion is enabled, where you can click every option in the menu.
It baffles me that the health bar being added back to the right side does not have it, so it adjusts your UI. I would prefer my UI to be placed beside the health bar instead of underneath it.
It is confusing to me why this was chosen to be the case
People are overreacting as always, the size of the new “topbar” is not that big of a deal. Desktop users have more space on their screen anyway. The new design is, objectively, a huge improvement over the old one.
What I do not understand, however, is the duplication of some functions across the UI. Why have Reset Character and Report in two different places?
