Can there just be an option where we can just choose to have the original topbar or the new one? Cause that would fix alot of problems.

I’m not sure how to feel about this, on one hand it’s gonna be annoying to get used to new UI as I’ve become used to the old (and might be a bit different on the development side), but on the other this looks so much cleaner, and is better in the long run.

This version of the topbar looks a lot better than what it originally was. However, it would be nice if there were some APIs that would let you add buttons to the topbar and if the topbar didnt take up so much space.

I really like the new one, but I do wish we could customise features such as colours and change the experience controls roundness. It would allow games to be personalised so much more!
Are there any plans to have a built in system like TopBar Plus in the future to allow us to have custom icons?
The new controls work quite well so far with my new GUI looks, still needs a few tweaks!

To be honest, I’m really not a fan of including chat in that toolbar, as it really makes it hard to close and reopen chat.

No way?! A change was made to make this more bareable… Would still like to flag a bunch of issues which may have not been patched yet, however:
I also have concerns over how hidden the chat button is and also how this will affect entirely UI-based experiences (ideally such experiences should only have the Roblox icon button)? These are insanely harsh changes for these types of experiences which previously operated using up most of the screen-space; even a small amount more being used up by CoreGui elements is a massive change for them.

whoops guess I have to ask for it again because Roblox is obsessed with forcing UI onto people. I have no issue with the UI itself (I actually think its decent), the issue is that this is a breaking change (change in UI vertical size), and that it cant be hidden at all.
I’ll come back in 2 years when you guys decide you want to change the topbar AGAIN.

Let us make our own ui. Stop forcing your UI on our games, and then changing them randomly. It makes it much harder as a developer to make our games when this UI is ever changing and getting in the way.

Can we get a toggle to move the expanding menu to the Right side of the screen like it was originally?

I’d still prefer to use the old top bar rather than having this new version, stop changing the coreui please

Not sure why this couldn’t be split off into a new toggle, much like how we can still use the LegacyChatService if we don’t like the modern one.
The new height of the bar is super ugly with a ton of dead space in it, and having all icons thrown to the left is really annoying, it should only be the Roblox Icon and the Chat Button, on the left, the Leaderboard button should go on the right… where the leaderboard is…
Disappointing changes, you should do better.

This should 100% be optional and not forced onto us, not everyone wants the new top bar UI.

It’s so difficult to make good UI when the CoreGui changes every 2-3 years and further removes real estate from developers. I get it’s probably for branding purposes and whatnot but this still feels incredibly intrusive. Nearly all of my experiences only actually need the chat button. We do not use any of the metaverse socialisation features and in fact try to actively block them.
I can only cope that at some point we can start embedding our own experience controls into these menus, which would be super helpful rather than having to mock the style of the topbar on a regular basis. The avatar context menu was a good start but no further attempts were made after that.
I’m still not a fan at all of how these new experience controls remove so much space from the screen, Roblox should actively know how much UI design means to us developers and we should be able to compromise on our artistic vision and this menu’s intent. If the Roblox icon expanded into the experience controls I would have less of an issue. Two buttons is too much. Ew.

edit:
never mind actually nobody should have to waste time changing ui for this and some games are no longer frequently updated or at all and they will get broken ui
it would also be great to be able to pick the side the new button is on.
it was better on the right side in my opinion and was also symmetrical. thanks so much roblox engineers for considering

Although it’s a nice look, alot of the buttons there ruin the in game experience such as the weird and buggy face camera which seems to be useless.

There are many different types of experiences out there dealing with different changes in the platform for both things we do and don’t have control over. Some experiences have very old UI that need to be updated, not everyone uses declarative UI libraries and not all UIs are entirely flexible. And sometimes Roblox is very whimsical about changes they make, the CoreGui being one of them.
It may take you only a few minutes but this isn’t a universally applicable time frame. Some developers have complex UI or want to focus on actual content for our experiences. To say “you shouldn’t be a game developer if you can’t adapt” is inflammatory, ignorant and unnecessary, on top of being irrelevant to the core complaints regarding these experience controls.

Honestly, it would be better if you left the old one. This makes interaction with Core Gui several times more difficult for both users and developers. Why do you have to click multiple times to open the chat? Yes, it won’t be difficult to do this once, but if you do it over and over, it starts to get annoying.

yeah i can see that point of view as well sorry i didn’t really think about old experiences and such and honestly this new ui is completely useless. they originally introduced it as a way for mobile players to more easily reach the buttons and now that its on the left that claim was obviously useless as well. i was trying to be positive
