As part of a long-term scalability plan, all individual UIs have been consolidated into one single menu.
Although there wasn’t a dedicated post about it, the Explore section was updated a few weeks ago. It now includes the entries of the Events page and trending locations among users.
This was a first step taken towards the redesign of our menus. Until now, each section has had its own independent panel, which presented a few problems not only in terms of aesthetics, but also regarding the consistency of the platform’s visual language and the predictability for scene developers to create even experiences.
We have therefore decided to merge all sections into what we call the Start menu. You can access it by clicking on your avatar icon or by pressing the TAB key, previously assigned to opening the Map. Below you will find all the sections that have been enabled so far. Shortcut keys are still working as usual:
Xfor ExploreMfor MapIfor BackpackPfor SettingsJfor Quests (temporarily disabled)
Some of the options that used to live in the Quick Actions menu (aka the three dots menu) have now been moved to the Settings panel, such as Tutorial, Report Bug, and the Day/Night Mode toggle (warning: it’s days are numbered… in a good way!).
You will also notice we have removed the semitransparent task bar at the bottom of the screen for a clearer view.
This feature is now available in Decentraland! Go check it out at play.decentraland.org.
