[2021] New XP Bar Design

I think this topic needs to be discussed, in my opinion changes to xp bar design are completely unnecessary and current design is just terrible.

Xp bar and progress loop of prestige grinding is something that the game orbits around since reforge. That means it's an extremely important part of the game, as it provides a sense of satisfaction and visual tracking of player's progress. Taking this into account, graphical design of such important matter should be spot on. When I look into progress bar in any RPG game, I want things like:

• Readability: xp bar design is clean and tidy, if there are numbers, font should be visible, aligned and matching to other fonts used in game.
• Design: I want xp bar to look cool, it should blend within the background of the game, colors should match the overall theme of the game.
• Satisfaction: I want a sense of satisfaction when my xp bar is being filled. I want it to see and feel actual progress happening on the screen.

Now let's look at xp bar that's in the game since 1.7.5. This "thing" looks like it's being copied and pasted straight from Windows 95/98. Design is wrong on every category I described:

• Xp bar is NOT easily readable: numbers are extremely slow and hard to read. Numbers are not aligned properly, spacing between bar is also wrong.
• Xp bar is NOT looking good: colors choice is absolutely horrible, gray theme is completely not fitting to the blue theme game has, it's not blending within most background colors game has, placing "xp" icon inside is not helping either, yellow filling of the bar is not even close to contrasting color.
• Xp bar is NOT satisfying: numbers that pop up on screen are just plain numbers, there is no flash to them, no good-looking entry, base xp points don't match up with slayers club xp points.

tl;dr

Current xp bar design must be completely changed or reverted to old one. It feels like the whole xp bar is a mistake that was introduced on accident.
