New battery icon is absolutely awful - One UI 7 / April patch update

[humour]

New battery icon is way too big / fat in the latest beta release. Please change it back asap.

Update: if beta users complained that previous icon was too small to read how about giving us an option to choose or make the actual pill smaller a bit?

I like it better. It's easier to see.

[humour]

Absolutely disagree. I understand you can't make everyone happy but April update icon absolutely looks horrible UI / aesthetically wise. Product manager who approved this to go into production needs to be fired honestly.

[Turkeylips]

I think it looks fine. You're right that we can disagree. But you are wrong that anybody needs fired because you personally don't like it.

I don't know about fired, but it could happen. Before being a programmer, I did web and app design. One of the things we had to make sure of was that the design was visible for anyone with vision impairments. (Example, target got sued like 25 years ago because their website wasn't fully readable for visually impaired people. The only reason target won, was because the target store and the target website were separate entities at the time (I think they weren't even owned by the same people at that time). And by the time the person suing has a chance to sue the website, the website corrected it).

So, yeah... You could technically get fired for this new design.

Sally Jeong is the one that oversees One UI, she said that it took about 2 to 3 years of development for One UI 7

[Mr-C]

Two to Three years and they still missed the target?

[MatthewReiter]

There was an interview with her regarding One UI 7

Then they always R&D

In golf I believe this is called a shank. A bad one.
