Hi there! Thanks so much for the feedback, the UX team here at GitLab is always looking for ways to improve the user experience. It looks like someone else in this thread mentioned that you can choose between a fluid and fixed layout depend

I did this and am so glad I did. After being with GitLab (a remote only company) for 6 months, I took the leap and bought a 5-acre hobby farm in rural Florida. Pros: Quiet! No traffic sounds or screaming neighbors. The owls get a little cra

We completely agree with you here. We want TODO to be meaningful and useful to everyone. The UX team is working through an exploration issue to address this, we would love to hear your thoughts on the issue: https://gitlab.com&#x

Ouch, that's a rough comparison @hunter23. We hear you though, there is a lot packed into that Merge Request area. I would love to hear what you think about this updated design https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-

Under your profile settings/preferences, you have the ability to set your layout to 'fluid' This will allow the application to take up 100% of the width of the screen. If you have more specific UX issues you think we should a

"I think these are mostly tiny UI things to change, and only with some typeography improvements, some borders and better contrasts, things will be a lot more clear." YES! Couldn't agree more. We (the UX Team) are pushing hard

Thanks for the feedback. I've created this issue for the UX team to discuss ways we can make this better. We agree, there are a lot of opportunities for improvement here. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce&#x2

Hey Dan, Sarrah from the UX team here. I'd love to hear more about your thoughts here. Is there an issue you've created that you can point me to? If not, that's ok. Maybe you can tell me two or three UX changes we could make

We have an issue for that here https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/2004 , the UX team is pushing hard to get it scheduled asap. Give the issue a thumbs up!

"New iterations didn't follow a continuous plan-do-check loop; everything was handled more like do something, get feedback, figure out something that you feel addresses that feedback, and then consider it done." We are never

Thanks, Andrew, this is exactly what I was going to point to. We are making sure to base our UX changes on actual user feedback and research. I would also say that GitLab's UX has to evolve in pace with the product. As we add features

You can define the default theme for your instance in the GitLab configuration file config/gitlab.yml. Hope that makes it a little less bleghghgh for you!

We are glad to hear you like the new design and feel that each change has been an improvement. We value iteration here at GitLab, making the smallest change possible and getting it out as quickly as possible. This allows us to ship, gather

Thanks! We would love to hear your feedback as you use the new navigation. Our goal here is to get as much input from the community as possible to make improvements over the next few weeks. You can leave thoughts on the issue here: https:&

"The trick for gitlab will be in finding the UI differences that give the maximum improvement for the minimum change." This is the holy grail of UI for sure. We are striving for this in all of the decisions we make on the UX team.

The third icon from the right is a quick link to "Merge Requests Assigned to Me" and it is the same as in the old version of the menu. The quick link in the hamburger menu was simply a duplicate place to find this action. To see a

"I'm not an UI/UX expert but a back-end developer." This actually makes you the perfect candidate for giving us good feedback. You may not be able to articulate exactly why UI elements feel off or don't work for you

Thank you for the specifics, it is helpful to know what UI elements we can improve on. The submenu is going away. We have done extensive testing on our navigation and are making significant improvements. Take a look at the issue, I would lo
