I've reinstalled GOG Galaxy 2.0 beta and I still not very happy about the overall UI layout.
== Main points
* The disposition of the Installed games, inside a menu, is less functional, as I can't see what I want to install, and still have under control what I want to play.
* The "All Games" menu is again confusing. The Grid is too big, the list is too small and presenting useless info. I like how the website does once you click in a game, that open a panel below the game. Here you change page, and you are presented with a less then useless "Activity" tab, "Friends" a half hidden Overview with non clickable tags, like genre and developers.
** No indication if the game is installed
* Inside the game page:
** No indication whatsoever if the game installed or not. The only indication is the "Play" button, that retains the same color of the install button. Not ideal
** The Extra tab is too bland. Writing is too small. No icons to differentiate what I'm looking at: manual, avatars, soundtracks, whatever. This oblige me to read carefully everything, before focusing on what I want.
*** Clicking to download an extra provides no feedback whatsoever. I realized I queued 15 manuals... waiting for an UI feedback.
* Recent tab, again, cluttered with useless info. I want to see what games I bought, I don't care what games other played.
** Months summary? Project manager simulator.
