We are rolling out a revisited version of our mobile web sites with the following aims:   A navigation and look-and-feel more consistent with our desktop UI in a mobile friendly way.  Better usability Equal or better functionality   Since there’s a lot to do, we will be deploying this iteratively. Our current deployment contains changes to:   Top Bar - We have beautiful new svg icons that scale perfectly with different mobile devices Nav Bar - It now sports better typography and a more visible “current section” indicator Search - Each section has its own search, accessible with the magnifying glass next to the title; the search is contextual: post list searches return… posts and user list searches return … users. User flair - Moved away from the “magic drawer” in the previous version, it now resides in the bubble “site switcher” Main colors and typography - moved towards less saturated blues and larger, lighter fonts. The site should now appear with each platform’s preferred sans-serif form (Arial, Helvetica Neue or Droid Sans)   Here is screenshot of before and after:    Send your &lt;3 to  and   for the most excellent design.  Feedback , bugs and suggestions while we move to the next iteration? Please mark bugs with

Recently I noticed the changes to the top bar. They are good but I had a suggestion, what about fixing the topbar at the top of the viewport for the user to simply access it regardless of on what position they are on the site ? I mean they don't need to scroll up every time to access the topbar.     I know this topic has been discussed earlier and the obvious answer was that use a grease-monkey script or something similar to it to make it fixed on your browser, this can be a good addition in order to make user interface better.   Thanks and hope to get some positive response :)  UPDATE: I respect your opinions and thus closing this topic.

Update:         See:       I'm the new product manager for the . I’m excited to announce that the top bar design that has been on Stack Overflow for several months is coming soon to the Stack Exchange network.   What took so long?  This was a big change and we really wanted to work out the kinks on Stack Overflow before we pushed to all sites in the network. For example, we recently released some changes to how the review queue menu works in order to address an overall drop in reviews since the new top bar shipped on SO (see  for details). We also adjusted the location of some items, such as the help link, to address feedback.  To meet the needs of the network we needed to adjust some aspects of the design to work with the full range of sites. The design is coherent with the SO design, but isn’t exactly the same. The biggest difference is that site name and Questions/Tags/Users navigation remain below the top bar. This was needed in order to work with sites with long names and/or custom skins.  Most importantly, the site switcher and other key controls will be in the same location across the entire network   New top bar on Stackoverflow.com:   New top bar on webapps.stackexchange.com:   New top bar on gaming.stackexchange.com:    New top bar on a beta site with a long site name:    New top bar for high rep member:    New top bar for moderator:   Why change the top bar?  If this change is new to you, then check out the  blog post and the meta post  for more details.

I'm not completely new to developing apps, but I'm at a point where I'm trying to develop something and deploy it on several mobile platforms. To only concentrate on two major ones, suppose I'm developing an app for Android and iPhone and designing UI and the general user interaction architecture. Both platforms give guidelines as to how their UIs should work. For example, most iPhone apps have the Navigation Bar (the one that says Testing 1 and has a Back button)    and an Icon Bar    for navigating a program, while Android uses an Options Menu fetched via a Menu button    and the "back" navigation is handled with the physical Back button on the device.  I've seen many apps that try to force the same UI on every platform. For example, custom-building an iPhone style Icon Bar and putting it in their Android apps, but it just doesn't quite look right to me and it feels like it violates UI design guidelines somewhat.  Are there any good design patters for implementing something sufficiently similar on both platforms, yet still platform-specific enough so that the user would not feel out of their comfort zone? What do people usually do in these situations?

Search for ,        ,                        and you will see that "results found containing __" is just a little too close to the header. It's not like there isn't  to have it be a little lower, closer to "Search":          The UI has been updated since I took the above screenshots, and the text you search for is  (which fixes another design issue but not the one in this question):

I'd like to change the style of our Windows Mobile application to follow the Modern UI style (as in Windows 8 or Windows Phone 7). While there are excellent guidelines for layout, fonts and sizes, I'm not able to find suitable icons to use in our toolbar (little images showing the state of the network or the battery). Those are the flaws of the icon packs I already found:   Usually there are just one or two battery icons, whereas I need several to indicate the different states The icons get very blurry when resized to 16x16 pixels (even for vector graphics) A lot of icon sets contain gradients, shadows or gray pixels Most of the icon sets contain only a hundred to five hundred icons   If you have a look at the , they're very clear and sharp. I already know , but the icons get very blurry when resized to 16x16 pixels as well. Currently we're using the icons from , but they don't provide suitable icons for Modern UI applications.  So my question is basically: Where can I find professional, high-quality icon packs with a lot of different icons (either PNG or vector graphics)? They don't have to be free, but must be allowed to be used for commercial applications. What are the major icons vendors and what platforms are available to obtain icon packs from?

Is it possible to switch a certain Stack Exchange site's interface (as a personal preference) to the theme used by beta sites?  Some sites have flashy decorations or unreadable fonts (I prefer to disable antialiasing on fonts). It would be nice to have an option to see a site with the "beta" theme.  If there's a solution using custom styles, I would accept that as an answer.

Recently I commented on  question   and the text did got bold but the italic word didn't seem to get italic on Android Chrome(Latest Ver.), but when I saw from the PC browser, it rendered as it should...  I've attached a screenshot of my phone ...

It seems a couple minutes ago, a change was applied to the styling of the homepage, with users' rep scores now being much darker (and standing out more):        Compare with the former light grey colouring (image courtesy of ):        Is this intentional? If so, why? It highlights something that's not really relevant, in my opinion.

Looking at most sites, I noticed something a bit weird. Stack Overflow has a different layout for their upper interface (which personally I find unique and easy to use).  On most of the sites I see:  | SE logo &amp; Sites dropdown | Inbox | Achievements | --- | Profile | Help | Searchbar | | Sitename | --- | Questions, Tags, Users, Badges, Unanswered | Ask Question |   On Stack Overflow:  | SO logo | Questions etc. | Searchbar | Profile | Achievements | Inbox | Help | Sites dropdown |   I have two questions,   Why does SO have such a format unlike the rest? Are there any other sites that have a unique upper interface?

I'm sorry if this is a duplicate before I begin.  As everybody knows, there has been major growth on tablets and mobiles within the last few years. I am aware of Stack Overflow's mobile site but wouldn't it be more useful for the site to have a responsive design layout so that users of every screen size would be able to see all the content without having to sniff the user agent to show the mobile site?  I have worked with responsive design in my current project and it works very well for all devices that I have tested it on.  What do you think? Should Stack Overflow be remodeled with a responsive design?

Update:  Update: We've heard you! . Please let us know what you think.  As  In a major effort to move as much UX cheese as possible in a single deployment significantly improve the site browsing experience, we have deployed a new version of the site navigation to Stack Overflow, Meta Stack Overflow and Meta Stack Exchange.  The catch is that this is only visible to users that explicitly enable it. What's new?  This is the list of major changes we're introducing. Unified home page All major question lists have been merged into a single page, the home page. This page has three tabs: new, which shows fresh content; popular, which shows the top posts over time ranges; need answer which helps you find stuff to answer. Almost all of these lists can be filtered by tag (we are working on the remaining ones). All of them allow different sorts and sets of questions. Finally there are further options to further customize your experience. Simplified top navigation Questions is now highlighted whenever we show a list of questions, including the home page. Unanswered has been removed. FAQ How do I get this?  Go to your , look at the bottom. Check the checkbox, or un-check it to go back to normal. Checking the box puts you in a waiting list. We allow people in batches to verify behavior under load, ensure we've fresh eyes as we fix the inevitable bugs and so on. There's a five minute cache expiration time, so any change you make might take a little to propagate.  Update: As we have 500 active testers now (you are amazing!), we will delaying new alpha activations until we roll out a set of fixes. Opting in now ensures you'll be in the next few hundreds to see the next version.    Update: We have activated 500 more testers after deploying a set of fixes. There are around 1000 testers active now. There are 3000 people in the waiting list, gosh! You might need to wait a little bit.  How can I help? Here's what we really want to know :-)  that we are not breaking stuff you used to do how easy is to find questions to answer, especially if you are a new user any ideas for improvement and feature requests bug reports  If there is anything you particularly hate, but it's not a breaking behavior, please think of a better alternative and suggest it as a feature request. &lt;3 Please read this  How do I get back to you? Use this question for general considerations only. Please use separate questions tagged with   or   as appropriate.  It's impossible to manage large amounts of bug reports or feature requests if you answer here. We periodically go through the list and ask answerers to move their bug/feature answers to a question and remove the post, and you likely will lose rep once the answer is gone. What are the next steps? We will spend the next few days hot fixing bugs which emerge. New ideas and breaking behaviors will be considered for the next iteration.  Thanks for all the feedback, we've planned the next iteration now, all the requests we're going to tackle in it are marked as . The ones tagged  will be reconsidered in the next cycle. Obviously feel free to test and contribute more, the new homepage is not going away.

I just updated my iPhone 7 Plus to iOS 13 tonight and noticed that the post menu in the Stack Exchange app became close to unreadable, because the font/text is too large to be properly displayed. Luckily we can still recognize the icons...    (Yes, app development has been frozen for quite a while but the app continues to serve me well.)

Running Unity on my desktop (2*20" LCD displays), I initiated a standard daily update on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS today and Google Chrome updated itself to Version 35.0.1916.114.  The URL address bar input now shows IMO a too larger font size which then proceeds to auto show in green. I prefer the smaller font size and have no need for 'gooey slime green' auto complete font colours. Any advice on how to revert back to smaller, generic Address font styling.  I use both FF and Chrome for numerous tasks, Chrome being my primary browser and I've checked my system Unity 'default' theme (Ambiance! LOL.. yes I'm tired of that also).  Thanks for sharing.

On a similar note to this question:  (which only covers two examples only on the profile page, this question mentions more places on and outside the profile page where this bug occurs).  I've noticed that whenever there are these page buttons now, for example, the profile page, /questions and tag pages they are orange.  Per the other post I'm assuming this is a bug but if it was intentional then this is a feature request to make them theme-able per site again.

The new top bar looks like a good improvement, but I think that at least the log out button and also the chat could return to a more prevalent place. Another thing that bothers me is that the quick link to privileges seems to have been removed. I kind of liked clicking on myself in the bar to see my recent reputation and such, although the new reputation looks cool. It does however get confusing with other sites being mixed in.  I'm sure we will all adapt to it pretty quickly, but please consider changing the position of some links, like moving chat, blog, and log out back to the bar itself. Thanks!
