Today's build includes the updated townspeople UI. The new UI is much bigger, allowing for larger text and larger buttons. It's also (hopefully!) easier to understand as well.
You can view the townspeople in either a large format or a compressed format. The compressed view is the second image. This setting is saved so if you prefer one view over the other, you only have to select it once.
There is a separate button for "Rename NPC" that you click and then pick the NPC you want to rename. A lot of people didn't even know you could rename the townspeople so I think having a distinct button should help.
The assign jobs, swap jobs, and change goal buttons should also be easier to find and understand. There is also a cancel button that appears when you click to rename or swap jobs. So you no longer have to close the UI to reset it if you change your mind. And there are toggles next to each job name that you can use to find Dwarves with a specific job much faster.
The new UI also displays the Dwarf's current goal, whether it be chopping a tree, getting resources, or working at their shop. These change in real time while the UI is open.
In addition to the new UI, I also added a button click feedback sound to a lot of buttons that didn't have it. I'll be doing that more as I find more buttons that are missing the sound.
