UI Makes Me Physically Ill From Pain
To be clear, I am not someone who typically has a lot of physical issues with stupid UI changes on any site. At worst I have issues with eye strain from colors, which is usually a relatively easy fix, and I complain about the ugly changes and move on.
With this new UI, I genuinely can't use Discord on Desktop anymore due to the sheer amount of pain caused by eye strain. Here's the problems I could actually take in before having to close it for fear of throwing up:
- New color scheme was too straining, thankfully that was an easy fix and I could move back to my usual color scheme
- Server Icons being square causing readability issues
- Size in general, things being smaller across the board made everything worse
- The top window banner with the server name, new message inbox thing, and the help center button is… certainly A Choice. A bad choice, but a choice. Really just creates a lot of redundant dead space and forces me to go looking for the new message box thing every time I wanna check it without clicking through every server.
- I can't properly resize my window anymore, meaning the desktop App is dominating space on my screen normally dedicated to other things
- So much dead space on the screen, yet it somehow still feels completely claustrophobic
- The Username banner spreading under both the channel list and server list looks absolutely awful
- Channel Category names used to be all uppercase, now they're all lowercase, which hurts readability and being able to differentiate between category and channel names
I highly doubt that's all the issues going on with it, either, that's just what I was able to take in myself without hurling from the eye strain.
Change it back. At least give us the OPTION to change it back. Nitro was looking tempting for stuff like emotes, but there's no point if I literally can't even use Discord in the first place.

I heavily agree with this. As someone who also usually doesn't have many problems with bad UI updates, the new UI is genuinely difficult to read through, makes everything feel cramped and simultaneously empty. The server icons did not need to be made smaller or squared, and the banner at the top is extremely redundant and wastes space that is sorely needed now. This is genuinely an accessibility NIGHTMARE.
