Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
the new graphics, while pretty, are much harder to read. to navigate the interface now requires hovering over many elements, that were not previously necessary.
* president and assistants are _barely_ visually distinct -- only that white line. But when looking over the board it's a lot harder to find your president.
* tech cards -- the power number is very hard to see, and the text is illegible. so a hover is required.
* locations no longer have a name on them. but the buttons for showing their corresponding boards uses the name to identify. How do I know which board is the Dock? have to hover and search, of course. And if you have both Dock and Port open, be careful to compare those icons!! Easy to mess up. Names helped avoid this confusion.
* colors. The spaces for meeples on church and custom house boards are purple, almost identical to background color of the 5-power chits. There is a purple player color! It's distinguishable, yes, but not very distinct. Everyone who looks at those boards will stop for a couple seconds wondering how purple player got all those meeples down. I do not understand purple and pink player colors instead of red, green... (I know this isn't a choice made by BGA developer.)
In light of all these problems, please give us the option to use the old graphics. it's a usability issue. -
