Next Gen Studio UI Preview is here! [Beta]

Also not a big deal, but the main center nav doesn’t warp so on small screens might create some issues

There is work in progress :slightly_smiling_face:

Almost certainly, yes. Ultimately we want to Studio to be flexible enough to be useable without a ribbon at all.

I’d also like to bring up concerns about having no access to view selector, outlines and some other features which are rather miscellaneous (outline selection, screen shot, video record, etc.). Elttob specifically mentioned screen shot missing (apparently its bound to Clear so go apple keyboard or go home?

What about Quick Access? I have some plugins like light editor or load character there and I don’t wanna spend extra clicks going to my custom toolbar just to use it.

I assume all of this is under consideration, I’ve tried it but haven’t stumbled across major/catastrophic issues so far while testing it. Performance is better than before FFlag version too.

The New UI is very good, i hope the current font on studio will be replaced by “Builder font” and the homepage must be redesigned to match with creator dashboard UI style

Wow! I am so excited to check this feature!

…wuh oh

View selector is here:

Some options are indeed missing though. I noticed that Reload script is not there too.

apparently it’s due to plugins. try disabling some

This is unrelated to the TOS update. They just happened to get released around the same time.

I don’t really like the way the buttons at the top look, they look weird to me but the icons look good and I like the idea of a new look

If you don’t like a modernized, bulky ui then buddy you’ll HATE ue5.

can we not shrink the top bar anymore?? i hope this changes (i can’t test cause it just instacrashes)

it’s actually not good to have LESS screen real estate vertically, most monitors are wider than taller, and that’s the last place i’d want waste

For some reason whenever I hover over any of the items on the top bar, the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over them, keeps vibrating very violently
The shot
You can’t see it in this image, But I can assure you that it definitely does shake in studio.

honestly i agree with why people are criticizing this. i really don’t like how this is some new ui but its still blended with the “older” Qt ui, it just feels and looks weird. i honestly don’t even think this change was necessary at all, studio is fine as is. replacing the ribbon just seems useless.

if you are going to actually implement this please keep a toggle for the “legacy” qtribbon. as im sure not everyone will want to use this.

roblox studio is NOT roblox studioing anymore :pray: :sob:

(closes itself when I try to open a place)

Is to cool but confusing because this is hard to find the things

Honestly, a blender 2.8 styled approach would be great. Saw it in some of the concepts for this overhaul, and having the toolbar be inside of the viewport like blender would help a LOT. Honestly, blender 2.8+ is the kind of direction id love to see this go.

Love the new UI so far, but I’ll probably not switch to it until all of the missing features mentioned in the original post are back.

The only issue I have with this is that its more confusing to navigate and find some options that were normally easy to find and use on the old UI. For example, the Device button used to be easy accessible, now its located within small button in the corner of the window.

Its cool and all that this is here, its been a needed feature for so many years now, but in my opinion the UI should still maintain the same accessibility and convinience as the old UI while also improving upon what made it bad, as opposed to a change in layout with features seemingly missing or placed somewhere only a few people would actually look. That way its easy for people who used it for many years, and or new people who just started.

In general, the UI is mix of good things that are well done which was very much needed, and bad things that make studio more inconvinient to navigate.

We definitely want to get back to improving the docking system but it will be independent of this work.

Seems unrelated but I’m unable to clear my custom icon dir? Every time I right click or press it prompts me to add a new one.
