Feeling on the new Webflow UI

[Manuel_Huertas_March (Manuel Huertas Marchena)]

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.

For @AGH @Manuel_Huertas_March and everyone else, reminder to check out this post if you’d like to be involved in testing some UI improvements. Follow the instructions below.

@matthewpmunger

Our team has worked on some updates that include changes to contrast and color based on feedback from you and the rest of the community. Our hope is that these updates address some of the feedback you shared regarding the color and contrast of the new Designer UI. As part of testing this update, we’d love to get you involved in this process and have you take part in a private beta where you can test the changes and share any additional feedback.

If you would like to opt-in to testing the changes, send me a direct message with the email address associated with your Webflow account. We will then add you to the beta plus a private forum where we will communicate with all beta testers and be a place for you to submit feedback, questions, and have continued discussions.

Again, send @matthewpmunger a DM with your Webflow account email address if you want to participate.
We will be enrolling volunteers into the beta every weekday on a first-come basis.

Hi all,

I see it appears webflow might be making some enhancments to the contrast for the dark designer… I was already working on a solution… feel free to use in the meantime

I just release an update, you can change the webflow designer to various colors including the original, also light mode will be coming soon!

Hey, Smith-Cordell can you please answer my question too?

[matthewpmunger]

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.

Adjust appearance settings

Based on feedback from our community, we’re launching two new brightness options for the Webflow Designer. To increase readability of the Designer, the default interface is now brighter. If you prefer more contrast in the Designer, you can revert back to the darker option. Or, if you want to turn the brightness up even more, you can choose a brighter option. All display options are available in the Designer in the Settings panel > Interface > Appearance. [image] Learn more about the Designer…

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

[Evelyn_Chen]

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

[Assulin (Matan Assulin)]

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)?

[razorpig]

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.
