Trakt.tv made its V3 re-design the default, and I don't really like it much.
It looks like someone tried design for a smart TV, but with the intention of making you walk up to your screen and squint at everything to read it.
I was already moving towards using a self-hosted Watcharr instance to track my media habits instead, but was sticking around for the "Upcoming Schedule" section you could read at a glance (that Watcharr doesn't have) but this isn't an improvement.
