[1912] Open-Beta HUD is HORRIBLE
K

The HUD is just straight up dookie cheek buns. Did someone with a phone-app credential background made this?
Scrap it all, most importantly no icon should be persistent on my screen and be intrusive like that, the F4 button is the worst choice to have a facecam render as if I ALT + F4 then it pops up and shows up for the next session...? Who thought this was acceptable?
Not to mention mic now being permanent in the corner of your screen same as the 3 menu lines in the top left is a big eyesore even when it's on minimal HUD, the only option beyond that IS TO DISABLE HUD ENTIRELY which makes it impossible to see invites, notifications, or even know if youre talking. Include the fact that all interact menus are 5x larger and take up more space on your screen (wtf happened to the keyboard thing? why is it now just the input screen at like 20x scale and no "keyboard" anymore?).
Here's what players want:
+Original HUD System; Leave it alone, dont touch it, EVER. It's worked flawlessly since the literal beginning of the game beyond the minor tweaks when you changed menu's and the UI for the 1st/2nd time. The current non-beta HUD is the baseline that every iteration should strive to be as similar to as possible.
+New Modern HUD System: Fully Customizable in placement and amount of buttons/what buttons are present.
This isn't a case of "oh players are just reacting because they dont like change", someone deliberately made an extremely horrible user experience that annoyed me and from what I clearly see a lot of others to post about this, and thought that it would be a great addition. Revert it immediately.

I second this. I already expressed my opinion on the recent UI changes inside of VRChat being BAD, and the new desktop HUD just follows suite. Notifications don't follow the placement inside of VR, they shouldn't be on top of the screen. You are creating dissociation between the two platforms (PCVR and Desktop). It's counterintuitive, because on the rare occasion I go on desktop I expect the SAME experience as I get while in VR. The elements are displaced and my eyes land where my mic indicator should be - surprise - it's not there. I am tired of you guys breaking the familiar experience and messing with our muscle memory. The new design is: ugly, cluttered, counterintuitive, and everything is moved to the corners of the display where it's hard to see. Moreover, I like using the "experimental" outline only icon for my mic indicator to get better immersion - that is gone now too. Please, stop introducing pointless changes that don't work for the sake of making changes.
Big thumb down from me.

Just gonna continue ragging on this update beta version here.
Invites and Notifications dont work, like at all. The only thing that works is Groups, the Icon in the top left NEVER dissapears unless it changes to something else. You cant click them in the top left, or anywhere for that matter.
My Computer/Monitor now doesnt count this as an active application and will just close/blackout after a while when not moving for long enough which means bye bye Movie watching with friends
There is no settings section in UI to edit, change, or adjust any of this which should've been implemented on day 1.
Nothing pops up properly as it should anymore.
