[QUOTE="Metalzoic, post: 238888, member: 607"] I don't particularly love the current one, it's more that the new one is a big step back overall. I also don't see the current one much as I pick my TPA table from a different front end that then it automatically goes and navigates the TPA menu and launches the table for me. That entire front end will break as soon as the new UI comes out forcing me to use the new UI and a keyboard since they seem to have made the new controls convoluted. That's my biggest issue. But even when using the current UI directly, scrolling through the tables to the one you want only takes a few seconds so I really see no actual benefit to that being quicker. Especially when it means needing to click on tiny icons that exist in a horridly ugly UI. The filters and things are nice (although I think mostly unnecessary), but when I tried it were laid out in a drop down box that was poorly designed, placed and thought out. The filters could also easily have been added to what we already have without making it all uglier and less "pinball" looking. The other buttons and icons were scattered about in a nonsensical way that almost seems like they really didn't invest any thought or skill into it. I don't know. I had the opposite reaction from you going from the current to the beta was like going from a finished product to a student project. Overall I just think the layout and controls of the current one are simple, fast, work well, and only rely on the keyboard which is what is needed to be able to integrate it into a keyboarder encoder that runs all a cabinets controls.
