Forgive me if this is not the right place for this.
The new UI is NOT net book friendly. In fact, the new interface has made it incredibly difficult for me to play Illy on my poor little Net Book.
For one, the right hand "menu" can no longer be scrolled , meaning that due to the small screen I cannot access global chat without messing with zooms on my browser (which I do not like to to and pushes other things into other strange places). Half of this entire menu is pertinently off screen. I see there are some tabs but only the net book gods know what they are or how many there might be. It starts with an N? I can see just the G in global chat and the top half of the top line of text. None of this can be moved. (I am aware I can pop out the global chat window but that then covers a large portion of my screen, not an idea fix but I can "suffer")
Second, it seems to slow down my poor little guy to the point where I can hardly plan the game. Even scrolling around the far too large UI is a drag. I scroll down to update my iron mine, that takes a good little bit of time.
Prior to the update the game "ran slow", but was manageable. I could scroll around without just a slight delay. I could access the right hand menu fairly easily and see everything there. The world map was painfully slow until I turned off terrain. I put up with it because the game is great.
All of this is very bothersome. The appeal of the game, for me at least, is that I can play it on my poor little guy (net book). I want to continue to play. I really do. Before the world map was an annoyance that I could handle, but now the entire game is nearly inaccessible.
Please, I want to keep playing.
