please let us have back the unwatched flags. The watched checkmark is a huge downgrade in at-a-glance viewing of my plex clients.
- I loved having the bright orange flags on my Home Screen grab my eye saying “HEY! there’s something new here!”. While logically equal, the absence of a watched mark is NOT as visually helpful as the presence of an unwatched flag.
- The bright orange color is a secondary request; if your team has also decided everything must now be black, so be it. A bland black unwatched flag is better than what we have now.
- as a corollary to #1, for users like myself who have watched the vast majority of their content, not only do the watched markers completely lose all visual meaning, but they obscure the artwork for our entire plex collection. It goes beyond unhelpful into the nuisance territory.
This is a great example of how awful this new system is, and each of my points above are represented here. New content visually blends in with old content and every single poster is obscured.
I know you have given us the option to turn off watched checks, but I hope you can see how that is not a good solution to this situation. You have just removed a feature which we have been using since I can remember using plex.
