[Solved] Eye of Gnome awful (broken?) interface after upgrade
Just today I've upgraded from eog 3.14.3 to eog 3.16.1 and am incredibly disappointed in the new interface I'm seeing, to the point where I expect something isn't working as it should. (I've downgraded to 3.14 as a temporary solution).
Normally (3.14) I see this handy menu bar with buttons for options I use quite frequently, including rotate and zoom to 100%. http://i.imgur.com/mLBxPX3.png
However, after upgrading, I get this crappy minimal interface with only an expandable zoom slider (which is unlabeled) and ever-present buttons obstructing the image. I can find nothing in the settings relating to this bar. http://i.imgur.com/l01DRVE.png
Again in the newer version, the hoverable menu when in fullscreen mode does have all these original buttons, they're just not in the main windowed interface where I need them. http://i.imgur.com/xsnlUTW.png
This seems incredibly broken to me (I've always loved eog over all others for the interface), but I haven't been able to find any other complaints since the release of this new version. Is this a new "feature" or have I just managed to make it broken on only my computer?

That design is intended. See an official screenshot: https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/files/2 … ew-eog.png
But the icons overlaying the image should disappear if you don't move the mouse for 1-2 seconds. It does so here.

You can try Eye of MATE, though it has less plugins than EOG.

Re: [Solved] Eye of Gnome awful (broken?) interface after upgrade
Eye of MATE is absolutely perfect. I didn't use any plugins so I'm fine without them, and the interface and functionality seem to be identical to eog pre-update. Thanks very much!
Bevan, the icons were disappearing but the grey boxes under them were not. I'm not really worried about that anymore now anyway.
