They seem to have reduced the information density and killed readability as well with the "material ui" redesign. The old code search UI was perfect, with enough contrast to allow you to quickly grep through xrefs to locate relevant entries. The page itself was lightweight as well.

Compare that to the redesign where each xref jump has me staring at a spinner for half a second, the xref bar has no visual separation between type, filename, and code snippet, all buttons visually indistinguishable with a blue on white color scheme, the "layers" dropdown is replaced with a mishmash of buttons scattered across the layout, etc.

I really hope they're not forcing this abhorrent redesign on their developers as well.
