Will We Be Able to Use a UI Which Is Similar to 2.79's Design?

[Evandro_Costa]

I should have been more specific on my question… The things Jean and Alberto said are changes that are still actively being worked on and therefore can still change, they are not definitive changes. We should be giving our feedback instead of ripping our hairs out unless they explicitly say that they will NOT do whatever it is that the community is requesting, or implement something similar. A couple weeks ago some people (me included) even thought that they were not implementing Wireframe in object mode whatsoever, but they did, in their own way, in some ways better (colored wireframe) and some ways worse (no direct shortcut to exchange to wire view), but it still being worked on and improved… and it’s our feedback that can convince them.

Try to just hide an object using ‘H’… Can’t, you must create a collection, move the object to the collection and then go to the outliner to hide the collection. Same to unhide.

Well, Bretch already said on another topic that Hiding on a per-object basis is something that they are working on and actively trying to find a design solution that will please users and that works together with Collections.
You can give your feedback here, the topic is not locked yet:

Collections and hiding. groups vs layers

exactly! it didn’t work like the visibility settings for layers. i never really used the outliner for it because swapping the outliner’s display mode back and forth felt slower than using shift+g and h. i do think having visibility settings like how layers work is useful too so as i’ve been suggesting maybe rather than a simple boolean toggle it could cycle through three options. [visibility%20options] it would probably be a little less understandable how the second and third options are fun…

@Alberto

Actually Blender2.8 don’t show 90% of the tools and parameters

The shortcuts are the same, so it’s less visual clutter for the advanced user, and for the basic user the options are better organized (in my opinion) in nested buttons on the interface, so you have more workspace area at all times to work with. Parameters are something that they are working on, so we cannot judge yet, but there were talks of putting them on the properties tab in a dedicated subsection. Ps: the F6 shortcut still works for primitives.

@Alberto

• Layers shorcut

Like I said above, they are working on it, therefore we cannot judge something which we cannot test yet…

Here’s a quote by Brecht:

@brecht

We also discussed letting users define their numbers, and it could be done builtin or as an addon, but there’s no decision on it at the moment.

@Alberto

wireframe shorcut

Brecht already covered this question:

@brecht

There will be a fast way to switch to wireframe display, most likely using a wireframe draw mode with a shortcut as there was in 2.7x.

My question was more along the lines of:
“Regarding changes that are currently NOT being actively worked on on 2.8 (that we know of), what are the ones that you consider affect negatively your workflow from 2.79”.
