Don't get me wrong, having clickable workable dials and such in the "game" also is -really- nice, and goes KNOTS to help increase immersion.

UI theme to me is less important than how minimal it can be while retaining required function. Not to say unimportant.
Absolutely agree. The UI look is secondary to it being minimal but functional. I personally don't mind having digital readouts. That said the theme does have some importance and am puzzled as to why UBI/the devs chose the ultra techie/ipod look especially when precious time would have been expended on designing and implementing it. Hopefully we will eventually get a choice either by the devs finishing the current UI and darkwraith/others doing a more WW2 theme or the modders doing both!
