<h3 id = "new-look">New Orion look and feel</h3>
New Orion users have consistently reported that they found our cluster of iconic <b>Actions</b> and <b>Navigation</b> buttons confusing. Developers often have trouble finding the commands they are familiar with in their old desktop-based tools. So, finally we are caving to user demand and incorporating some familiar navigation elements such as a menu bar and context menus. You can find more details on the various UI changes further down in this post. User feedback has been a tremendously important part of these changes, and we strongly encourage all users to continue providing this feedback as the design evolves. Please don't hesitate to raise bugs, report feedback on the orion mailing list, or grab us in person at conferences such as EclipseCon.
<h3 id="nav-bar">New navigation bar</h3>
The old <b>Navigation</b> menu has been replaced by a narrow band on the left hand side with links to all of Orion's different pages. All links are contextual and will navigate you to the closest corresponding page related to the artifact you are currently viewing. For example when editing a file, navigating to <b>Git Status</b> will show Git status for the repository containing the file you were just editing. Icons in the navigation bar match the page icon in your browser tab, to help you keep things straight. You can collapse the navigation bar at any time by clicking the toggle button in the top left hand corner of each page.

<h3 id="menu-bar">Menu bar</h3>
The <b>Actions</b> menu, and some navigation elements, have been replaced with a more traditional menu bar. The key binding shortcuts have been added to the menu label for all commands that have them. The options to toggle between navigation and outline panels have been moved to the <b>View</b> menu.

<h3 id="context-menu">Context menu in Navigation pane</h3>
Context menus have been added on files and folders in the <b>Navigation</b> pane. In these menus you will find the most common file operations such as copy, paste, rename, compare, etc. You will also find commands for navigating to other pages related to that file or folder.
