thanks, that worked. I would prefer pinning be on by default and unpinning if needed.
Yes, I can confirm that the team is aware and working on improving variables inside interactions.

Hey, Smith-Cordell can you please answer my question too?
Hey all, today we’ve released a major update to the new ui based on feedback and testing from this group and more. This update deals specifically with color and contrast. That also concludes the beta test mentioned in my previous post.
Check out the updated post below or the official update page.

Thank you guys for listening to the community!
This is a small but very important adjustment for many of us.

feel same, terrible for the color selector UI, too much steps for choosing a color and disconnecting…

Just an FYI to those looking for a light mode that webflow has yet to build…
AidKit has a light mode, and is being improved overtime, but looks pretty good at the moment
@everyone @matthewpmunger @Emily_Lonetto
We can wholeheartedly thank the staff for actively listening to the community feedback, bringing it up to the team, and addressing the pain points - gotta say it frankly feels way better now.
Happy to hear this topic and others have helped!

Hi. I’m back. I appreciate the steps staff have taken to resolve previous concerns, but I would like to submit an additional one with today’s update.
I sincerely hope this screenshot speaks for itself.
Having returned to Webflow after a long time, I’m also shocked by the new UI. I don’t have the time to take a hundred screenshots, but just to give one example, in terms of legibility how is this an improvement (see attached)?

And again. How does making things harder to see constitute an improvement in UI? I’m baffled and gutted in equal measure. The old UI was a thing of beauty and an example to all other site builders how it should be done. As many other users have said, why ‘fix’ something that isn’t broken? Is there any hope at all that we will be given the option to revert back to the old UI? I’m really trying to get used to this new look but so far the pleasure of working with Webflow has all gone.

Here we are, over a year later from this ui update, and a lot of the pain points were improved on - initially. Unfortunately, Webflow just rolled out another UI update where they just doubled down on many of the initial criticisms of last year’s UI, and I have to ask - why?
2 major criticisms of 2023’s UI were:
- The icons were too thin, strange, and difficult to read/unclear
- The 12pt font was too small, especially for vision-challenged users
So WHY, after addressing these concerns in 2023, did Webflow roll out an update a year later in 2024 that:
- Has even thinner, tinier icons
- Has an even tinier font
11.5 px font in tyool 2024 is an accessibility crime. The eye strain, especially for someone like me with vision issues, is insane. This is what artsy teenagers thought looked good on Myspace in the early 2000s. Waiting a year and then making much-derided changes again, but worse, suggests that whoever is in charge of UI/UX learned nothing from last year’s criticisms and in fact, was just waiting for the noise to die down before implementing their oh-so-aesthetic-and-correct tiny font/icon UI again.
I just got another UI update today, is there a way to opt out of these updates? Black Friday is in 2 days and this isn’t fun. I came to webflow under their ecommerce advertising, rolling out an update in peak season doesn’t align… hopefully the product team can better understand their userbase moving forward, updates in nov-dec indicate a lack of awareness.
Is there any way to revert back from this NEW UPDATE (2024) or should we just expect a new UI change every 12 months moving forward? @Emily_Lonetto @matthewpmunger
The big issue I find here is that I want the Breakpoints (icons) at the Top in the middle.
And If I go to the ‘Advanced menu’ click Top under Toolbar it brings it up to the top right, which does not help, but it also brings all of the Class Selectors to the top and I want those to be on the bottom otherwise it gets to cluttered at the top.
