They really need new UI design talent. Pretty much all of their post-wc3 UIs have sucked. WoW, SC2, D3. The only good thing about the WoW UI is how open it is. That way you don't have to use their terrible UI. BNet2.0 has been a disaster in general, and I can't believe I am still saying that years later.
It takes two extra clicks to do anything in the new ui. That's a pretty serious problem.
They downgraded chats big time. You can see less users without scrolling, and they made everyone's text the same color as yours. The darker background combined with it glowing in your text's color causes it to look very blurry.
You can't even see the name of friends you added on D3 now. For example if you added "Bobby" on D3, it will show him as (character) instead of Bobby (character) like it did in the previous patch.

My creep is really pale, I barely can see it on my minimap, anyone else has this/knows how to fix it? That's the new creep design, same way it's going to be in HotS if you watch the battle reports. wow...damn thats the worst creep design ever, fuck blizzard.
Nope it's much better this way. I honestly hated seeing the minimap with an ugly dark purple obscuring view of everything.

First off, to those saying that nobody can run the game on more than lowest without lag. I am running the game on Ultra, and it is running even smoother than pre-patch. Same FPS but no lag at the start of games ever. My setup isn't even that powerful.
Second, the more I hear people say that the chat window is too small, I want to punch a wall. You can expand the chat window to any size. You can literally make it full screen so that it looks like an SC1 BW chat channel.
Third, stop saying that it takes so long to navigate around. If you click on the bottom left arrow you can see hotkeys to get to main pages. F2 takes you to quickmatch, F5 lets you make a custom. Simple, easy, efficient.
Now that that's explained. I love the patch. I think the UI looks pretty cool, I love that Match History is easier to access, and shows more of the list than previous. Also, I love the Fog of War change, and how the creep looks now. Everything just feels better overall.
+1 great patch

"You need an official Blizzard language pack to play"...
I love patching
EDIT: Fixed apparently, thanks to this post

Not in custom games. On ladder yes.

Pretty much a great patch. Arcade will increase the shelf life massively.

I can't believe how cumbersome the new UI is...Appearance wise I actually like it...
But why does it take so much more effort to see anything?
Everything takes an extra click than it did before.

I really wish I could play and see how the game looks now, but Blizzard hates mac users...

Is anyone else getting black screen of death after the patch?

God i love the f2 thing to be able to go to quickmatch.

People like me can no longer play SC2 if they use Macbook 10.5.8. So we all need to buy a new computer.
I envy your black screen of death..

Because they wanted to make the arcade only be 1 click away from the main screen. Unfortunately it pushed quick match back 2 clicks, but: they also added the quick nav so if those 2 clicks matter to you because you mostly play multiplayer: use the hotkeys.

woah, everything is so dark. Wish they would have added anyof the things we want such as, clan support, restart form replay, spectator replays, chat channel moderation...
God damnit guys sick of people bringing this up. There was a huge thread on TL not too long ago where blizzard said they will be releasing these features with the HOTS release. They made it explicitly clear when they were going to release them and it was never going to be in 1.5. Just do a damn search before you start whining this thread up.

Will this affect assembly? Since apparently this reversed version crap is going on in custom games from what I hear.

Has anyone noticed graphic changes for those running on Low Settings? My laptop can only run SCII - well barely on the lowest possible settings. It's running on an integrated Video Card - so yeah.
I do have a desktop that I use primarily for gaming, the Laptop is for quick-fixes when I feel like playing a few matches and I'm not at home.
I've noticed that the screen resolution for games has actually changed, and my mini-map is now extremely small. I'm running at 1280x768 as I've always had but now everything seems off.
The terrain detail also looks to have changed as well. That part I don't mind since it doesn't affect gameplay but my mini-map is my main concern.

I've uploaded a Screenshot. The WT icons right now are extremely small. It's also hard to distinguish if 1 blob is several units or just 1 now.

Same. It's much more efficient.
I really wish people would stop complaining about the chat windows. You can resize them easily now and even make them huge if you want to. Can even make them like BW's chat.

Why did they change the graphic for warpgate cooldowns? It looks so much worse.

The new "low" settings seem to be really good @_@.
Also, my Korean audio for NA client got replaced by English and I know I won't be able to change it back but has anybody lost the color mods or any other mods?

I think it was kind of a waste of time. I mean it's different, but not really better, but not really worse.
