Alright, glad to hear you are listening and considering another theme for us that despise the natsuiro one.

So like the poster below i'll provide my own feedback and suggestions in the hopes it might help. (I also think he has plenty of good points)

First of all this will sound a lot like me pointing out the difference between legacy and natsuiro, afterall there is a reason i chose to never stop using it and didn't have any plan to ever stop untill forced to do so. So succinctly i was very happy with legacy and the closer to it the new theme ends up being, the better in my book.

- First i like things elegant and sober, call it plain if you like i don't mind. I also like an information based tool to be clear redable and easy on the eye for an extended period of use.

> that means, white background, black text. It's as old as ink and paper and is just simple and efficient, no blue on blue or gray on gray text or whatever weird mixture of color, imagine reading an entire novel in one sitting where the text is a light shade of blue on a neutral shade of blue, or red or yellow you get my point.

As a side note someone on facebook suggested naming the theme "Fubuki" instead of "Plain" i find it funny and a propos so i vote +1 to that suggestion.

Talking about plain even if i feel the word denotes a pejorative view for things that are more on a neutral and sober side rather than the extravagant mess that is natsuiro, i'll take it, i think that's still a good general idea for direction to make something clear and simple. So anything that isn't "plain" is better taken off in my mind, like the glow on moral, really unnecessary and messy / distracting.

- I liked the legacy layout, simple and clear, and i'd like to see it get closer to that.

> To explain that point further i feel Legacy compared to natsuiro perfectly illustrate the idea of "sometimes less is more".

When you keep adding unnecessary information on screen it just ends up a clutered mess and in the end even though it provides "more" information, it just gets drowned in numbers and icons all over the place. A perfect example for this is the upgrade and proficiency number added to the equipment icon. ( let's not talk about the fact that it's glowy yellow on greenish light blue on half white + equipment icon color and half non unified shades of neutral/dark blue (see what i mean about the colors and disharmony ?) but these numbers are unnecessary and just cluters the whole thing, plane slots number is the only relatively usefull number to be there as it's not obviously shown in game.

What if they add planes upgrades ? Are we gonna have plane slot + proficiency + upgrade numbers on a tiny icon in a rainbow of ugly shiny glowy multi shaded colors ?

(i'll post now and add things later so it doesn't bug out on me like it did previously)
