| Jan 28, 2022 at 15:09 | comment | added | Andrew | @V2Blast The colors are still an issue. Is it the same color on light and dark mode, because the contrast is too high on dark mode, the watched tag too bright. I think that's kind of true of a lot of the colors, they don't get muted at all for dark mode. | |
| Jan 27, 2022 at 19:19 | comment | added | V2Blast Staff | @Phil: Looks like that's what they went with. I quite like the new design, with the tag filled in with a gold color and an eye icon next to the tag name. :) | |
| Jan 26, 2022 at 16:17 | comment | added | Andrew | @BenKelly No info is lost that way, and it seems the consensus on what is more clear runs opposite to your opinion (this may be because existing users are more familiar with the current format). Though stuffing information that I believe is best presented in other ways (here highlighting) into a list of tags is counterproductive UI design, it just takes up more and more vertical space and expands the item too much. | |

Properly formatted - an extra four spaces indent is required in lists (as a result, the diff looks more extensive than it really is - use view "Side-by-side Markdown" to compare), etc.

| Jan 25, 2022 at 19:40 | comment | added | Ben Kelly StaffMod | We have partially reverted the label approach back to using a colored background. We lose info that way, but it gives us an opportunity to revisit how the watched styles are being added to the page. I agree that the label may be a little confusing due to lack of context, but imo "yellow + watched" is much less confusing than just "yellow". We're revisiting this design to see if we can improve the context even further. | |
| Jan 25, 2022 at 15:46 | comment | added | Thomas Owens | The "watched" label is awful. I generally don't mind the new layout, but I think I would prefer it with highlighting the background rather than a badge-style thing. Plus, it often forces a lot of extra whitespace that is unnecessary. I think a small change to replace the badge with highlighting the background would go a long way here. | |

| Jan 25, 2022 at 7:15 | comment | added | grek40 | Thanks for this post. It shows exactly my initial problem: I didn't understand that the "watched" icon was about my watched tags instead of some other random information. If users misunderstand the icon at first sight it might not be the best UI/UX decision. I really preferred the design where my watched tags questions where highlighted as a whole instead of having some icon. | |

| Jan 25, 2022 at 2:00 | comment | added | Joe Kerr | @Phil Thank you, I was confused as to what 'watcher' meant. However, it is still a terrible format and a waste of space -- I much prefer the old version. | |
| Jan 25, 2022 at 1:36 | comment | added | Phil | I agree that the design is pure horror, especially on dark mode. It seems to be in response to this answer | |
| Jan 25, 2022 at 1:31 | comment | added | Phil | The "watched" badge is for your watched tags, not if somebody is watching / following / bookmarked the question | |
