Old UI component to suggest Beta UI

[bdresser]

To finish up #3384, we need a UI component that asks users to upgrade to the new UI. Maybe a persistent banner or something.

The message should probably say that support for the old UI has been discontinued. No action is required, but that they should be aware that If they don't switch to the New UI, we will automatically be switching everyone over on XX date.

Maybe to encourage users to switch, we use both a modal and banner. The modal will provide us with plenty of room to make the announcement and a button to "Switch to the New UI". If modal is dismissed ("x") and the user doesn't switch, we then show a persistent banner with a CTA to switch to the old UI. Would be good to also have a "learn more" and link to an article describing our plans for the switch within the banner.

@whymarrh Here are the suggested designs for the announcement in the old to ui.

@cjeria thanks, this looks great! Where did you imagine the "Read more about our plans" and "learn more" links going?

[danfinlay]

What will our "Read more about our plans" link go to?

[cjeria]

Let's change that link to say "Learn more" and link to https://medium.com/metamask/metamasks-new-ui-has-begun-to-roll-out-74dba32cc7f7

thoughts? @whymarrh @danfinlay

[danfinlay]

Sounds good. Maybe we edit the post to add info about the gas editing + tx parameter viewing.

[bdresser]

looks great @cjeria except weird to say "No action is required right now" and then also ask them to click a shiny blue button :) so maybe we remove that little line?

[cjeria]

good call @danfinlay

@bdresser @whymarrh See updated copy.

[bdresser]

looks great, thanks Christian.

@whymarrh @kumavis what do you think about using Sentry to understand how many clicks we get? Okay by me if we can't de-dupe, would just love any signal on whether people are moving over.

[bdresser]

when will this display for brand-new users? right on startup?

[whymarrh]

@bdresser right on startup

[bdresser]

gotcha @whymarrh. can we link them to new UI's full-screen onboarding, rather than the extension? this might be what you're already planning, just want to double check.

[whymarrh]

We can, that's a good idea—you're thinking that the switch will turn on the new UI and then open up a new tab?

[bdresser]

Yeah. Full screen in the new UI is a little better formatted, fewer page breaks etc (vs. extension view).

i think that's how it used to work with the small "Try the Beta UI" link at the bottom of Old UI onboarding. But just found #4896, not super urgent, and even less urgent as we push more people off the old.
