Updated Experience Controls Now Live

As a mobile user, I very much agree that this new design should simply be an optional setting instead of it being forced onto everyone

For instance, the “experience controls” almost block the surrender button in battle bricks for me
and it doesn’t block anything in Bee Swarm Simulator, but the honey and pollen trackers are way down now

Don’t even get me started about the new incoming message tracker on the chat button that keeps losing track of chat messages (even if it’s only like 4 messages spaced out over a minute) and that also doesn’t have a “99+” indicator

Also yeah, their obsession with using the hamburger menu for random features has just absolutely kneecapped the captures system, and I bet there are still people walking around with that capture button

tl,dr: Roblox, just do better and give us actual choices for your crappy feature implementations

The new in-experience controls are now live for all desktop and mobile users, showing promising engagement improvements. This simplified UI has driven increased time spent and boosted voice and capture usage. We’re continuing to add features and are working on bringing these controls to console and VR soon.

Can you give us more details on this? Do you mean “engagement” in the sense of people interacting with the Voice controls more?

Yes, more people interacting with the voice controls.

Oh that explains why the old healthbar is still present on console.
Overall this is a good UI. :happy1:

Also there is two issues on the Gamepad Menu

Even if the setting is at opaque, the background is still transparent.
The icons are also outdated.

Oh great. I find it more convenient too. Another question if I may, are you guys ever planning to give developers more control over the hamburger menu, or automatically disable it? The old Top Bar automatically hid itself whenever all CoreUI elements were disabled. Didn’t get a clear answer from other engineers for some reason.

We would like customizability for such a feature
(This would mean stuff like resizing, moving icons, detaching and changing usable Icons)

Even if it ends up stuck behind the beta program for a year, it’d still be better than this :pray:

Will this get fixed?
