About the icon notation on the status bar at the bottom of OBS

[goruru]

in OBS 30.0.0 beta2

The signal that detects the drop frame state has been changed as in the attached image, but the icon is very small and the visibility is worse than the previous version's signal icon.

I would like you to improve the visibility by enlarging the icon.

Thank you very much.

v30 is not released yet. Ask here instead:

OBS Studio 30 RC

Disclaimer: This is a test build, not a full release. This build may contain bugs or broken functionality. For production usage, we still recommend using the latest stable build of OBS. If you are willing to test this build, please let us know if you run into any issues. OBS Studio 30.0 RC2 is...

Edit:
And don't expect much from your request. Unfortunately, UI is weakest point of OBS (my own opinion). Highly likely (assumption based on previous releases of OBS) it will be in the release untouched. Beta-to-Release code changes usually concentrated on "band-aid" fixes rather than serious changes. Such simple change, like new icon, requires total redesign of the status bar UI. So, likely it will not happen in v30.

Original motivation for status bar change: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/8950

Anyway you can open Stats window from main menu View > Stats - it also has info about dropped frames.

Implying that we don't care about UI is pretty tone-deaf to the significant improvements and focus we've been giving to the UI in the past year. In the future, please don't speak for the project on such things.

We're not able to replicate the issue as presented here. Can you provide a log file please?

OK.

As you can see in the attached file, the icon is what is displayed, and I think it is impossible that it is not reproducible.

In version 29 and earlier, this icon is a "square" icon, "green" when streaming distribution by OBS is normal, yellow when streaming distribution is somewhat hindered, and "when there is a lot of drop frames. red” was displayed.

In 30.0.0, as shown in the attached file, this icon has become an icon that shows the radio wave strength of the smartphone, so it is small and lacks visibility.


However, I feel that the OBS UI is very good.

In the screenshot you showed, the status bar is not displaying properly, which is leading things being squished together and hard to see.

This is how it is supposed to look:

If you are using a custom theme of some kind, it may be modifying how OBS is supposed to display, and causing the visibility issue.

 

[Suslik V]

About straight and plain wording. New design brings new algorithm for icon display. Previously (in v29) it was function of "amplified" version of congestion parameter that determined color of the square icon. Now (v30 betas) it is fixed numbers (threshold levels). So, new icon is not only new art but also code changes.

@Gameroreocookie_31 rephrase your question please. "OBS Studio" is program. Help section of the site can be found here: https://obsproject.com/help

Mr. Fenrir

Thank you for your support.

I'm sure you're using a custom theme. I'm sorry.

There was no problem with the visibility of the icon part in the previous UI, but it seems that the custom theme update does not support 30.0.0.

This is on the custom theme side, so we'll see how it goes.

thank you very much.

ok my guy SUSLIK asking why OBS Stduio Does not supports cloud gaming ?

Better make your own thread for this question to get the answer you need.
