New 10.76.2 Notes Side List View - Please Undo

[RolandDeschain 16]

I just sent this to feedback@evernote.com, posting here as well.

 

PLEASE do not let the new changes to the notes view stand. You are now wasting a bunch of extra space for no reason whatsoever with larger mandatory buffers between the notes in the side list view. Here’s 15 notes on the version before 10.76.2, and on 10.76.2, what in the world is the reason for this? Two of my notebooks have more than 100 notes, and several others have 40-60, all you’re doing is making people scroll more for no benefit whatsoever. Also, why did you remove alternate row shading?

I’m not against the new “material-style” theming, but for crying out loud, don’t just waste large numbers of pixels; this is a productivity app, not visual content for marketers to only exist to look good in advertising with.

I can't reproduce this, I still have 15 notes in the latest windows version 10.76.2 ...

Maybe your zoomlevel has been changed?

The number of notes didn't change, and my zoom level didn't change, it's just bigger spacing between notes on the notes list. It's a purposeful UX design change by Evernote, and it's...frankly, objectively wrong. I noticed this on all three desktop computers I use Evernote on. My entire issue here is the waste of extra space (and removing alternate row highlighting) with this new version.

Welcome to the "upgraded" user interface. You're right, it's on purpose, which probably means they won't undo it soon. I agree 100% that it is counter-productive. Besides your feedback email, you can also comment here: https://waz9zvkd1f2.typeform.com/newuifeedback.
