New Symbol's?

Why did we get new symbols that now make it hard to figure out what is what?

By using font icons we can scale them for different device types, and add new functionality whilst keeping a consistent theme.

It's also explained here

Here's the translation from old to new. I think most of them look very similar. It's mainly quote and spoiler that have changed. Spoiler was always out of place and took up a lot of space.

It will take a moment to get used to, but I think in a week, I'll have the new look internalized

I love the new look. It also allows them to match dark mode which always annoyed me with the old version lol.

The new font and poll options are great!

What’s the thinking behind the plus minus being spoiler, if you don’t mind me asking? Doesn’t click with me in the slightest. Seems more suited to increasing or decreasing font size.

I think because spoilers has the plus sign to expand the spoiler window to reveal the contents maybe, and a minus to hide it again.

Fantastic iconography and amazing new formatting options, thanks!

With all due respect Gene, this has been on staging for around 3 weeks.

Very clever! Makes sense!

Yeah, but people come to GP to play games - not look at staging.

The question was fair, and I hope the question has been answered.

The Formatting horror has begun 😱

Are we all just going to ignore the color-granting sword? Arise!

Sword? I thought it was an eye dropper... I like the sword idea better though!

It is indeed an eyedropper lol. But color sword is cooler.

One very minor, minor (minor) complaint is on mobile the toolbar is one icon too long and makes a new line.

That depends on your device, it seems

Ah looks like it auto-sizes. Damn my one inch too narrow phone!
