Change the white interface

 

Original Post - 

 

Obviously we have launched the new spotify with white artist profiles and album view.

However, the white interface have no ctrl+F function, which means that I can not find a specific song within an album or artist with a search function. This takes us to a world before altavista.

- I dont like

 

Another problem in this white interface is that we squeezed the track info into a little box. When in album-view, a track with a couple of featured artists will not fit in this box, it is not scrollable, it is simply a secret what the song is called, and who is playing it.

- I dont like

 

However, the new activity field is awesome, where one can follow people very selectively, and not get music-feed from everyone you know on facebook.

- I DO LIKE!

Hey guys! We’re changing this idea to “Implemented”.

Allow us to introduce Spotify’s new look. Now Spotify has a darker theme, refreshed typography and rounded iconography. You read more about these changes right here.

HUGE MISTAKE THE CHANGE TO THIS NEW FORMAT

I ACTUALLY WAS SO IN LOVE W THE OLD ONE IT WAS ARTISTICALLY PLEASING TO THE EYE

THIS ONE I JUST DON'T LIKE

THE WHITE BG IS AWFUL

IT LOOKS LIKE A WORD DOCUMENT

SINCE WHEN IS IT COOL TO STRIP AWAY ALL ORIGINALITY?

WHOEVER THOUGHT OF THIS HAS NO IMAGINATION

AND WHERE O WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS?

AT LEAST ONE SHD BE GIVEN THE OPTION TO GO BACK TO THE OLD FORMAT

AS A MATTER OF FACT IF YOU JUST DO THAT I WILL BE HAPPY

JUST GIVE ME THAT OPTION

WHAT IS THE WORD FOR THE OPPOSITE OF PROGRESS?

OWWW MY EYES! I just logged on this mornig to the new white UI. And I DO NOT like at all. I usually have it on my second moniter, and the black background was much less distracting. I get enough of bright white screens looking at spreadsheets at work all day as an accountant... Spotify is the welcomed break (every few minutes) in my day were my eyes get to relax and enjoy. Please PLEASE give me my black back.

Yeah please change back to gray interface. The white is very straining for the eyes.

I also hate the new white interface, it is very hard to look at. I honestly will not use Spotify as much because of it 😞

Rosendal

What have you done to my beloved Spotify!?!

Bring back the old color scheme, the new white one is horriible!

 

ManOrMonster

The white background is terrible. It almost looks like when CSS doesn't load properly on a page. Completely out of place with the rest of the interface.

ReotheCreator

The new ui is pretty horrible. It's clunky and wastes a lot of space, browsing for songs and music has become much more of a chore. The white color scheme is also a very strange design choice as it contrasts to much with the dark grey of the rest of the interface and causes eyeburn. You had a very functional and great design that you guys should stick with! Not try to copy itunes with all of its misstakes!

you guys should change it back to the old way.  As someone wiser than me once said, "DON'T FIX SOMETHING THAT AIN'T BROKE!"  I liked seeing what all my friends were listening to and i don't like how you guy made it like twitter where i have to be following someone to see what they are listening to.  I felt like I was connected with everyone, now it is a deserted ghost town.  Also, i don't know why you guys made the middle backround white and kept the outsides dark grey :S.  The interface before was perfectly fine.  Please change it back.
