I can get used to the new score. It's alright I guess. New AB gotta go... or at -least- change those confusing as shit progress bars to represent the total from inept to trans.

Not a huge fan of the progress bars, but what's confusing about them, other than trans showing as 0%?
I'm assuming the progress bars are intended to show your progress to the next skillrank, which I guess might be kind of useful for people who aren't Transcendent... Perhaps showing it as N/A rather than 0% for those who are would be better.
EDIT: Just confirmed, it's percentage to the next skillrank.

Ohhhh, I just assumed they were percentage to Trans. Percent to next skillrank is weird.

Percentage to next skill rank gives one a feeling that they are actually making progress. However, I think a total percentage with tick markers along the way for each named progression might be better.
Meh, I don't get it. Looks perfect to me. Then again, it reminds me of the one from Aetolia, and I always loved how that one looked. If anything, the ABs just need a bit more work to add more color instead of the white it uses now.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
The reason we changed this is simple: Our old method of displaying things, especially score and stat, was awful. There was no real reason something was in 'score' vs 'stat', and the formatting on them was nonexistent. Their total lack of consistent formatting (random sentences stacked together) was poor design and looked like a mess to newbies.
Things I'm not loving and we will look at changing:
1. The box around the news header.
2. The progress bar for a skill. % to next skill rank doesn't tell people much. % to trans makes more sense on reflection.
I, personally, love it! The colour is a bit bright, so I'll look about tweaking it, but omg everything is ordered and neat and looks like a birth certificate! AB is fantastic, so much easier to read. Aaaaah, endorphins!!
I think the changes would be okay if there was a way to remove all the borders and stuff (without also disabling prompts) and see multiple specific sections (either by listing them in the command like SCORE VITALS LANGUAGES, or having a CONFIG SCORE that let's you enable/disable each section).
Just for clarity, you can reenable the prompt after switching screenreader mode on. It just turns it off by default when you initially enable the option.
I had thought (I'm sure someone will correct me if I wrong) that the distinction between the old SCORE and STAT was that SCORE contained info which was viewable by House higher-ups, whereas STAT included details that other players don't really have any business to know about, such as how many credits you have and how many precious days of your life you've spend playing the game. Does HOUSE SCORE now show everything?

No. House score is still the same, just like honours with a few extra details like level, health, stats, and if they're carrying gold.
