Criticism - Journal 2.5.0 (self.pixeldungeon)

This is refarding the slot in the journal where the game keeps a track of all the floors and important landmark and presents in a list format.

2.5.0 update has made certain changes that I find it disappointing than the previous one.

The prev format was simple and even highlighted the floor the player is currently on. NOT the case now. It neither highlights nor the presentation is simple but comes with an unnecessary icons attached to every landmark which is quite unnecessary and not appealing.

Also the format of the list has changed with floor details now shown side by side order rather than the straight chronology which was better.

I think there's no need to tinker with the format. It was perfect in its presentation until now.

What's the logic behind adding grass and other icons to the floor details? It's quite distracting.

Please restore the journal to its original format.

The main issue with the old format was how inefficient it was in terms of space. Previously the journal notes UI had room for about 10 notes on screen at once, which becomes very inadequate once the additional notes and custom notes are involved. The lack of icons also meant that it was difficult to see what notes were about at a glance, compared to now where notes are more clearly grouped by floor and have immediate visual indicators of what they're related to.

I do think that highlighting the current floor would be a nice UI tweak though.
