When might we see these changes in our cPanel installations? :-)

[chandro]

really nice. When can be this be used?

[Infopro]

Some of these Features and Improvements are available now, in EDGE build. They will be working their way down thru all tiers in due time as new cPanel changes always get rolled out.

Thanks for sharing valuable info..it's really awesome

[Kent Brockman]

I really love these fresh new designs. Hope to see it ready for production servers this year

[newcanada]

I'm very excited about these changed. The new design looks amazing! Thank you thank you thank you for taking this step!

[PlotHost]

Indeed the new design is much better. It was the time for a change

I HATE the new designs. I have no idea why people that glitzy and fluffy complicated styles are better than plain clean simple function design. This is exactly what is wrong with much of American manufacturing actually. They are so excited about look and feel and so little attention is paid to usability and functionality. PLEASE give us the option of retaining the much cleaner and simpler style that we currently have. I don't want all kinds of drop down menus, glitzy loking buttons and graphics, or a complicated UI.

I've got another screen shot to share today, this one is of the Mail Queue Manager in WHM EDGE tier. As mentioned in the first post of this thread, this may or may not be what the final version of this looks like by the time it makes it way out to the masses, but from this image we can see some really nice changes on the way.

Moving to EDGE tier is not suggested of course, so for now, pictures of whats in store for us all.

As the saying goes: "Coming Soon"

I REALLY dislike this VERY complicated screen. WOW that is so cluttered and no user friendly! Please stop complicating things in an ill attempt to make them better. It works fine exactly how it is now. Stop with all the fluff and glitz. You seem to have forgotten that functionality trumps looking pretty.

I disagree. I guess the best approach to better make things more friendly to everybody would be if these new designs were released as "x4", so that people who love the old good design can stick to it without problems.

You are talking circles. These new screen shots are VERY user UNfriendly! Way too much clutter and fluff. In the current version all you do is click and go and the interface is very clean and simple to the eye. The new one is all fluffed up and glitzy and it adds all sort of levels of menus/combo boxes, and drop down options. How is that even CLOSE to being better?

I am all for added functionality but not at the expense of usability. Its akin to the 'new and improved' skin in phpMyAdmin. In that case nothing at all is added but a new design that is horrible on the eyes.

A big part of these updates to the interface are to combine multiple pages into one and the new mail queue manager does indeed provide that which does make it more user friendly.
Keep in mind, not every attempt towards "user friendly" is about dumbing something down so a novice could use it easily.
Sometimes it is about bringing all related features into a single page interface where an experienced admin has the ability to drill down to detail that is needed.

Again it is fine to add functionality but to do so in such a cluttered way that the user has to jump through all these combo boxes, drop down menus, and other fluff designed simply to look cool is horrid. The coders for this project are falling into the trap of trying to show us how cool their coding abilities are rather than trying to give us a logical and intuitive interface. Keeping an interface clean and easy to use is NOT dumbing it down. It is making it so that it has ease of use! Just because the coders know how to make all kinds of cool looking controls does not mean that any of the controls are a practical use for the application. It is rally sad that the accepted standard is to out-cool the next guys code rather than make it actually usable.

I'm not sure what you're seeing as complicated while expressing concern for functionality. What I see is more functionality, looking great.
