RD 3.0 Style - Feedback and Suggestions

[Dr. Death]

I understand this new design is "futuristic" and more "forum like" however i dislike how it focuses so much on forum part instead of the news part and it looks like it was made just for mobile phones exclusively. Can we have an option to return to the old UI?

Nope, weirdly, everything seems fine, regardless of the skin or width.

Feel free to delete my posts, if it helps

Super nitpick here: I almost never use the 'Change style' icon in the top-right and yet something about it keeps making me thinks it's the notifications or What's new icon and I end up clicking it. Did the order change at some point? Could it be moved to the right of the What's new icon?

Put another way, when something is not regularly accessed, it's presence just becomes irritating.

Like I said, super nitpick, but it has been bugging me for weeks or months now. Maybe it bothers someone else, too *shrug*

I find the site very clean and elegant looking, otherwise, on desktop where I use it most, and functionally it does most of of what I want so kudos on that!

I'm 50/50 on rd via phone and via pc and I frequently change the mode at the pc because the skin button isn't there on my phone.
On the phone it's pm/alerts/what's new/search but at the pc there's the light bulb icon between alerts and what's new.

With the rest I'm fine with. Works very well lately

Suggestion: Move conversation "invite" to top-row buttons (Edit | Star | Mark Unread | Leave) because, even though I"ve been here for years and knew it was possible, I never saw *how* to invite until just now I was looking all around and finally found it on the far bottom-right where usually non-conversation content is and it was scrolled off the bottom of the screen, even though I'm on a 1440p desktop with a pretty large window for RD(*).

*Run on sentences ftw

@Bram Hengeveld or maybe @Neilski or @VernWozza
Little push about this. I find this really annoying smh, sorry... I'm hitting that lightbulb every day or two.
Could you move it between what's new and the search?

My inner structure is basically:
"PM -> alerts -> what's new" and "search on the far right".
So having something between these two section that I have in my mind wouldn't be an issue but splitting alerts and what's new screws with my muscle memory

Personally never hit it once, well only when I changed it to dark mode. Where did you get your mouse control license, sounds like a you problem

I should probably stop hitting the what's new button when I'm taking a dumb while having the phone with me
It's really just the change from phone to desktop that's the issue, not the placement in general.

+1 Kill/Move the lightbulb. It's really a site management thing I don't think it should be in the site menu bar.

Funnily enough I just found out that on the mobile page, change style and style chooser are entries at the very bottom.
Never bothered to look for dark mode on the phone but found it while accidentally scrolling to the bottom.

So why this discrepancy?

Current layout gives me a tiny middle

At the bottom of the screen there should be a change width option.
