DA wants to ruin your gallery presentation.

I'm assuming a few of you might be missing the plans for DA's new thumbnail layout so I have to make a journal entry about it, I urge everyone to head over to the planned feature's [journal] and leave your input (even though DA seem to be ignoring absolutely everyone even though they leave the same crit), you'll need to be a BETA tester but that can easily be turned on/off in settings.

To give a quick overview I took some shots of my own gallery, though it doesn't quite look as awful as it is since these are shrunken:

OLD

Neat and Tidy

NEW

HUGE thumbnails making you see less art at once
Zero breathing room between each thumbnail
Organized grid all gone
Ugly white rim for "odd" picture sizes
Cropped titles
Near unreadable Folder and Comment text under titles
I guess the left align text is kinda nice though....?

Most of all it will make all your art blur together and give a cluttered unprofessional look, it also takes longer to get a good overview if you're skimming for something in particular....
