New In-Game Topbar

I’ve been waiting for almost 4 months I think

I think this new top bar looks great but I think the “Roblox-Logo” should be minimized a bit more. I also think it would be great to add an option to make the top bar completely invisible/hidden, this would be toggled by hotkey. Well, anyways all and all the new top bar looks great🙂

The settings tab looks extremely crowded and takes longer to look through, last UI was simple but large, this is small and crowded, making information less swallowable by the normal Roblox player in my opinion.

I feel like having the roblox logo as the settings is a bit odd, a may confuse some people.

Apparently there’s a way to get the old topbar in studio by messing with some FFlags.
You can also get the old player list.

You can only do this in studio and there are some risks when tinkering with FFlags. It’s probably better for you to just stick with the old topbar and playerlist (especially considering the flags will be removed in a few weeks).

Well better make copies of the old topbar core scripts then for my old topbar lua port

Is there a way to disable the controls button in the top right corner as it feels clunky and overlays some of my existing UI, both the button itself and contents when opened.

The only way to is to disable emotes, backpack, and the leaderboard. The only way to have them is to have a custom one.

Edit: I don’t think custom emotes is possible.

I’m really looking forward to the new escape menu rolling out to everyone, is there going to be a release date for it? I hope it hasn’t been forgotten about!

Everyone I know has it except for me. They must of been put into A/B Testing.

Personally i hate this change.
The roblox icon, as many others have said, looks like a watermark instead of a settings menu
I much prefer the old topbar, I prefer the hamburger icon too.

An idea ive had is that developers could possibly make their own core gui stuff, for example custom chat icons, custom settings icon and maybe more.

Edit: It doesn’t look like a watermark anymore :partying_face: (for me at least)

That would be a really good idea.

Malicious game devs would abuse it to try and steal passwords or just troll around.

Hamburger can imply that this is a menu for the game; the Roblox icon (with the button background makes it look like a button; in the original design, it did look more like a watermark) makes it very clear to the user that this is Roblox’s menu for Roblox settings, not for in-game settings.

I Don’t believe than the Hamburger icon caused confusion over users(if it did they, roblox would mention it just like the did with builder’s club). Also i believe that the hamburger icon does imply much better than this is a menu. Newer players can thing that the roblox logo is a watermark just like in the website.
I Believe that people prefer it like in the following picture:

On the site, the Roblox button is a link; not a watermark.


What is your point here?

The button background (and its positioning to other buttons) makes it very clearly to be the Roblox menu. What if I want to use the hamburger icon in my game to represent my menu?

I didn’t say than you can’t use it, i said that people prefer the roblox menu buttton with the hamburger icon and that the hamburger icon hasn’t caused confusion for the time it has existed.

As long as the icon is consistent (meaning that the menu button being always the same between ALL games) people can say what is the Roblox Menu button and what is the game’s menu button.

What i mean by the roblox icon in the website is not that is a link i talk about that new player will take it as a “watermark” and since the menu icon happens to be positioned in the same way that the website icon is positioned, new players could mistake it for a “watermark”.

I’m in the beta program, but still don’t have the new settings menu. Any ideas why?

Because the new menu uses A/B Testing. It is given out randomly.

In my opinion, this update is pretty cool. It gives a fresh look to the Roblox in-game toolbar. Of course, we will miss the old toolbar but this definitely is an awesome update. My favourite part is the leader board it’s so clean and smooth. Regardless of what others think, this is an amazing update!
Thanks to everyone for the kind words! And please let me know if I should more of these in the future once I’m done with my current projects, anyway, have a great day!
