Find out what’s in store for the Visual Studio 11 UI in the RC release

  • Artikel

After announcing the Visual Studio 11 Beta developer experience, we received considerable feedback on the UI. I want to thank you for all the comments you provided on this topic, and for taking the time to evaluate the beta release. At this point in the product cycle, we’ve been reviewing all of the beta feedback, and working on product updates for RC. Today we’re excited to share what these updates will look like for the UI. I encourage you to read more on the Visual Studio blog, where we’ve summarized the feedback we received on the beta, and showed the UI changes we have in store for RC.

    Hi Jason, I originally created the suggestion on the UserVoice website to "add some color to VS 11 beta". It quickly became the most-voted on idea, it now has well over 7500 votes from at least 2000 users, and almost 500 comments. I'm happy that so many people decided to vote, that so many people left constructive comments, and that the suggestion was flagged [under review] relatively quickly. Having said that, it remains to be seen if this is improvement enough. But I think you have left all of us wondering: why this experiment in a public beta? I hope you will take some time to share with us how this all happened.

    @Micheil [qoute]why this experiment in a public beta?[/qoute] I'd imagine it's the perfect time to test a change such as this.  Based on the reponses, it seems very clear that Microsoft have reponded to users concerns.  Certainly better to do it now rather than just release it and not be able to respond.

    Taking away the great look of VS-2010 for the sake of being trendy, and forcing the vast majority who like the rich colors of VS 2010 to use a bland tool....just garbage.  No thanks.

    The changes to the UI in the RC release looks great and I personally can't wait to start using it. Since it's release I have been using VS11 Beta exclusively and I found the performance to be really great. Personally I like the new look.

    The look is an improvement over the beta. I'm not sure the look is better than VS2010, however, the tool is much faster than 2010. Overall, looking forward to this next release. Glad you guys responded to the feedback.

    Is Visual Studio becoming a consumer product? It need not become trendy with the UI... but needs to help developers become productive. It is not a toy for developers where you want to change the colors, change the look and feel, etc. What is more important is the functionality. Instead of spending this much effort in changing the UI, going back and forth, if you can spend all those effort improving the performance and adding more developer productivity features, it would be great! Thanks for the nice work in adding more functionality to VS!

    VS10 UI is great, please make an option to use it in VS11.

    Get rid of the caps in the menu bars. It makes VS look like a 13yr old AOL user shouting at its users, and most people will ignore it in the same manner.  Bring some intelligence back to the UI and go back to proper-casing.
