CCleaner v5.00.5050 looks like ****

CCleaner for Windows
1

As you can see the checkmarks don't even look like checkmarks, the icons and pretty much everything looks pixelated, there is no window animations (like highlighted window and how windows animate when minimizing ) so I don't even know if I'm interacted with the program, is it out of focus? Who knows. Thanks Piriform for forcing this new Shileek new interface upon us.

Agreed. The new UI looks horrible and makes the program very uncomfortable to use. Please let us have the option to switch to the old skin.

yes

+1 Yes! Ugly and horrible win8 interface!!!

Agreed, I immediately looked for an older version and installed that instead. Give an option to switch to the old inteface.

So which Piriform employee is this?

Don't like the UI either. But there should be an option for old and new. Since some do like the new.

As I pointed out in another similar thread:

I created this account just now for one reason and one reason only - to echo this sentiment that this UI has got to be one of the most disgusting UIs I've ever seen.

  • No Windows Aero
  • White title bar is just butt ugly and completely out of place with the greyness of the rest of the UI
  • Bottom grey bar is different grey than the left vertical bar's grey, in addition to being wasted space
  • No options to customize the UI in the settings
  • Solid colour buttons and solid colour background in general just look simplistic and lazy and 1990s
  • Title is centered rather than on the left, next to the program icon
  • Close button not flushly in corner
  • "Online help" button removed
  • Registry button used to use the Windows registry icon (a 4-sided 3x3 Rubik's cube, sort of) but now uses a generic four square icon which was completely made up and corresponds to nothing whatsoever, and the icon next to the "Registry Cleaner" header uses NINE cubes rather than the four in the left-hand icon!
  • UI does not meet user expectations based on 1-2 decades of standard convention in so many ways:
    • Items in the main Options window (e.g. dropdown boxes, checkboxes, etc.) inconsistently sometimes respond to mouseover and sometimes don't
    • "Windows/Applications" tabs make the selected tab smaller than the unselected tab
    • Lack of scroll bar center notches (or similar long established conventions) makes it ambiguous which portion of the bar represents the current scroll position
    • Fuzzy light grey text for checkbox items makes it seem like they're greyed out (unselectable)
    • Grey buttons on the right side in certain options menus, along with dull grey obscure text, makes them seem unusable/unselectable
    • Convention-defying checkbox categories (System, Windows Explorer, etc.) obscure the ability to click the category icon to select all items within that category (ditto for results window)
    • Resize dots on the bottom right have been removed, obscuring the ability to resize the window

It's important to emphasize that most of these problems are not matters of aesthetic preference, these are convention-defying changes that completely throw out the window everything that's been established from nearly two decades of UI and UX convention and make for a confusing, distracting, difficult, annoying, and anomalous user experience.

CCleaner 5.0 will make a fine addition to the PowerPoint slides of experts who illustrate to programmers what sort of UX/UI disasters to avoid. Perhaps the CCleaner developer(s) responsible for this train wreck would like to attend such lessons.

Please don't double post like that especially tl:dr

14

I cut the text of the post, then pasted the link to the post so admins dont get angry... but....

THIS, IN SO MANY AND SO FEW WORDS, THIS!

*Also, wonder whats going on as well, the site keeps "not responding" for me on my PC and my Phone (on LTE) when I was trying to go to the forums to post!

15

the site keeps "not responding"

It does that every now and then. It's been an unresolved issue I've had since around 2007 so it's nothing new. Although it could be the IPB forum software.

16

I immediately downgraded to version 4.19.

17

I also noticed that although the site will let me post a comment.....I can't 'Like' anything as it says I have used my quota....Have NEVER used the 'Like' button at all....lol Ho-hum :rolleyes:

go away troll. you keep posting the same bulls**t oh every thread that hates the new GUI and it looks like you just joined to just do that.

19

more on topic, I hate the new GUI and request a revert.

If I had actually paid money for ccleaner I would be demanding a refund at this point.

At the risk of adding fuel to the fire; if you're not a Piriform customer, what grounds do you have to demand a UI revert? Piriform are giving you CCleaner for free. How it looks or behaves is entirely up to them.
