The New Site Theme

Here's a review of the new site theme!

Ohhh... Dat theme do

As you can see above, the new ROBLOX theme, like many other websites and applications are migrating to a new, sleeker interface.

Let's break down the interface, shall we?

1. The Top Menu Bar

The Top Menu Bar sits snugly between the top of your browser page and the content below.

As you can see, the Games, Catalog, Leaderboards are still present, just like earlier! However, the People tab has been replaced by this nifty little universal search bar of universal-ness, which can pull information from the Catalog, People and Groups and Games. Now who says the new theme isn't good?

Along with that, we have our Robux and Tix and a new 'settings' dropdown menu nudged up to the right hand side. Just like always. However, the ROBUX and TIX icons are now replaced with 'R$' and a little, white ticket. Awesome.


And under the settings menu we haaaave... Settings, a replacement for 'Account', Help, self-explanatory, and Logout!

And that's just one element...

2. The Navigation Bar

The navigation bar is the replacement for the little black box that stood below the top menu.
 
Sniffff... Smell that? The scent of progress!
They are now categorized by user-friendly icons. Before, you had to read through the text and find out what was what. Now, just look at the icons!

The elements in the navigation bar are;

► Your Username
► Home
► Profile
► Messages
► Friends
► Character
► Inventory
► Trade
► Develop
► Groups
► Forum
► Blog
► Upgrade Now (as if ROBLOX hasn't shoved enough marketing down our throats.)

3. Enable 3D

Some may argue that Enable 3D came before the new theme, but I'll bundle it in anyway.

Basically, Enable 3D comes in the form of a little gray button in the lower left corner of your avatar, a gear, a hat or any other item in the catalog (apart from Decals and Scripts). 

This little doodad allows you to observe the item of choice from all different angles so you can have a fair decision before choosing an item. Unfortunately, we can't preview our character in an item. Gg, ROBLOX...

Anyways, I hope I've covered everything in the new theme.

Bloxx on!
