    I love the way the new site unify the look of every asset, however the new thin font very uncomfortable to read on my 1280*1024 monitor. I know it probably look great on hi-res monitor, but given the fact that a lot of unity developer are indie, can you guy use a bolder font?

    On 1920x1080 it also looks terrible :) It is very difficult to read.
    Could you change this font, please?

    The updated design is beautiful and feels even more like Unity. I'm in agreement with the previous 2 posters, the font choice here is very hard to read.

    I think they may have changed the font but the current one is too "thin" and is hard to read on the white background. Also, when you highlight the menu, such as the word Update, you can barely see that it is highlighted.

    The font needs to be bolder and the hightlights even bolder than the normal font.

    Also the blue bit should be on the right with info and price and not on the left, also join them to the asset picture.. with the gap it looks like the price is part of the next asset along.. just imo

    You need to become Google Pro to get the dark skin for Chrome, it looks awesome.

    Confirming this, there are no update or download buttons inside Unity. Just to be positive, it gives it a more sleek and unclutttered feel. :)

    I like the new look, although the font could be better, as others have said. One thing that's puzzled me, though, is why does adding something to your wish list make the heart icon become dimmer? Shouldn't it become brighter? I've never liked how adding an asset to your wish list makes its icon more difficult to see.

    I DO NOT like this new look. It seems to go against the specifications we were given when producing our art assets for the store. Everything was supposed to have a fade / bleed but now they've got this hard line between the description on the left and the large key image on the right. There is a similar problem with the small key images, the cool fade I had at the bottom that made it look so good is now just a hard line to a plain blue/gray box. The Submission Guideline shows examples of using a fade, says it's the way to go, but now all of that is wrong.

    Plus there is now more content inserted above the description of the asset, pushing the description even further down below the fold.

    I like it but I'm using a 1440p monitor... don't know about 1080p.

    I share that sentiment, Asset Store team could've at least sent a warning about new style and changes required to key images to the publishers.

    I have a similar setup, 1080p for main monitor and 1440p for secondary monitor.
    The font looks fine on my main monitor but is slightly hard to read on my second monitor.
