The new ui doc Of qubes is absolutely terrible

Sorry but i have to say this, the new ui of qubes documentation is absolutely terrible. Terrible downgrade. This is like switching menu from 4.1 to 4.2, nobody needed this.

Please revert it.

This is like switching menu from 4.1 to 4.2, nobody needed this.

Unfortunately, this is my general notion with QubesOS UI changes as
well. I think we had a pretty well looking QubesOS UI in 4.1, and 4.2
has introduced major changes to UI elements (their colors, their look,
shapes, sizes, etc.). Under 4.2, it also has some weird “mix and match”
look that some of the visuals around split-gpg confirmation dialogues
carry the 4.1 look while some of them carry the 4.2 look – totally
awkward.

“Nobody needed this” reaction to QubesOS UI (and I guess now to the
Documnetation UI as well) is a common reaction among the seasoned
QubesOS users, imo.

Could you provide some examples?



What is wrong exactly?

The only differences I see:

  • you can’t select the prompt ($ )
  • external links are marked as such
  • there is a toolbox to change the version and download the docs as a PDF or an epub. Right now there is only one version but there is a discussion about that, and it should change, especially with R4.3 coming soon

The conversion did not really focus on the rendering yet. We accept contributions to improve it.
