The new user interface (UI) design introduces a series of improvements aimed at improving user experience and operating efficiency. Here are the main features and improvements of the new UI:
Overview of the new UI
Compact mode: The new UI introduces compact mode, which provides a more unified interface appearance by reducing spacing and elements. This design makes common operations more convenient and reduces unnecessary clicks and drags.
Full IDE zoom: Users can fully zoom in or out of the IDE and resize all UI elements at the same time. This provides greater flexibility for different monitors and personal preferences.
Markdown smart key settings: The new settings page simplifies the management of Markdown preferences, allowing developers to more conveniently configure editor features.
User experience improvements
Color hints in the structure tool window: Add color hints in the structure tool window to make file changes easier to track and help users quickly identify modified and newly added objects.
Pull request tool window optimization: To simplify the code review process, the pull request tool window has been redesigned to provide a dedicated tab that displays a list of changed files, allowing users to focus more on the current task.
Interface layout optimization
Top menu bar redesign: The new top menu bar separates common functions, making the overall layout clearer and optimizing the entry for project building and settings.
Left window area adjustment: The left area functions are divided into upper and lower parts, which improves the neatness of the interface and makes it easier for developers to access the required functions.
Right function area optimization: The right function area mainly includes Gradle build options, device control, etc. The layout of these functions has been optimized to make the operation more intuitive and easy to use.
