Bitshares GUI Release v2.0171205
Summary
In 171205 we present a completely new header and a new send modal in addition to a few bug fixes. We also part company with the left side panel. While some really liked the side panel, it contained elements that were rarely accessed by less technical users. It also encroached on valuable horizontal space needed for displaying columnar data.
New
The new header prominently displays icons for Dashboard, Exchange and Explore. We also added the new Send (beta) menu here for now.
The right dropdown menu includes a login/logout toggle at the top followed by:
- Send
- Deposit
- Withdraw
- Settings
- Help
Next, we have grouped the more administrative items including:
- Voting
- Assets
- Signed Messages
- Membership stats
- Vesting Balances
- Whitelist
- Permissions
Lastly, we have included a link to Accounts with Favorite (starred) accounts at the bottom.
We have also made some changes to the Follow pattern. There have been several requests for an address book or contacts. Since the Follow feature is essentially another name for Contacts, we renamed it and also split out the Accounts are to:
- Accounts
- Contacts
An account is defined by any account where you hold the keys. A contact is defined by anypne you add to your contacts or anyone who you followed in the past. There are several ways to add contacts. These methods replace the "Follow" button previously present on the left panel.
From the new Send Modal
From Explore -> Accounts listing
The new Send Modal is ready. We still have some work to do on Proposed Transactions and for this reason, we left the existing Send intact and accessible from the right menu.
Other notable improvements:
- It's now possible to cancel orders in bulk!
- Improved the red and green colors for the Light Theme
- Researched and planned TradingView implementation
- Matched Table headers and Fonts for other administrative areas
- Improved the local wallet detection to facilitate migration from bitshares.org.org/wallet
- Fixed a small bug related to %change on Portfolio
Future plans include:
- Redesigned Deposit / Withdrawal
- Tradingview integration
- Responsive Design

The graphical interface improves every day. Thank you to those who work on it. Basic programmers certainly know what they are doing, but in terms of GUI fixes, it seems that BitShares has finally a first-class project management oriented towards usability. Very rewarding.
Yeah I really like you guys are continuing to improve, I just RSVPed so I hope to see you guys in the next BitShares talk Saturday on Mumble.
This new design looks simply fantastic, professional and easy to use, as long as the terminology is not too technical... I going to download this one right now and give it a good go over the next while, thanks a lot for the update and unwavering dedication.
All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
Well, it's pretty darn good but you know used to Apple standards!
I need help logging into my bitshares account. Since they switched over to the new web page it won't let me login and I know my password and username is correct. I hadn't backed up anything yet as my account is fairly new. Is there anyway to login in from the old page or somehow restore my account? Can anyone that's good with bitshares help or direct me to some form of a help desk where I can get some help with this. Thanks! Upvoted to get some eyes on this. Thanks!

Ok. Thanks. I'll try this.
Thanks so much! I was able to go here and was able to restore my account. Thanks again...and again... and again!
I can help you probably but I'm on Discord, same nick.
I was able to restore my account! Thanks again for offering to help me!
Ok. That would be awesome! I'm on steemit chat, but let me look into discord. I really appreciate this!
Discord is asking "for your four digit tag so we know which one they are". Are you on steemit chat by chance? I found a nutela on steemit. Not sure if that is you. Let me know what a good time is for you so I can work with you on the time. Thanks again!
Yeah, I'm on Steemit.chat as well, same nick.

You should go to that Discord invite and go to the help channel, last time I saw a few people really trying to help out! You can see my comments.
I like the addition of a contacts feature for recurring payments and to improve general wallet utility. I didn't understand how it works from the animated gif tho.
I presume it's not oriented towards a list of contacts, but rather a facility to remember past recipients and recall them given a few letters of the account name specified in the input field, is that right?
A pop-up would provide more space to view a list, but what you've done if I understand it is a definite improvement.
Keep up the great work Mr.Bill
The list of contacts that you see is the accounts that you follow. This can be done in a various places, like the new send section and the explore page. On the dashboard you can then remove followed accounts.
This is one step towards a safer transfers system and make inaccurately sent coins less likely.
Yeah, planning to implement a typeahead feature for those present in your contacts.
It's puzzling, that very few if any other wallets implement a contacts facility, especially considering most other cryptos don't use human friendly addresses. I am highly impressed with the Exodus wallet design and even that wallet doesn't provide any contacts facility.
Because those addresses are rarely re-used. In fact, they typically encourage non-reuse of addresses.
looking better and better
