As a naive user who was aware that I had enabled "Automatically enable all new beta features" in my beta preferences, I was surprised to find the top of my wiki pages altered. In going to disable the new features, I disabled "Winter" properly but it was not clear to me why all the styling changes were not reverted. It was not clear that "Compact personal bar" was another new beta feature entirely separate from "Winter" As a naive user, it is difficult to identify two different beta features that are perceived to be a single change at a single time. Alternately, releasing "Compact personal bar" and "Winter" with a significant delay between them might be another strategy to keep beta surprises to a minimum.
Chris, thats the plan (the second one) I want to get feedback separately and not tie their releases together too much. Winter (fixed header) might take more time to reach community consensus on, so compact personal bar might graduate sooner. hope that makes sense
closing for now.
[Moving back to VectorBeta, as that's where the preferences exist.]
