latest RE update

Options

Does anyone else HATE the display changes they've made in RE database version? The information bar at the top of the record is now clear! Very hard to see if you have other windows open. I wish they wouldn't change these things or at least make them optional so we have the ability to make it easier on our eyes! Am I alone in feeling this way?

    Hi @Becky Jones - Can you post a screenshot of what you are experiencing?

  • Are you self-hosted? Because the washed out look, the name of a record justified right instead of middle and the top of the record/window (where the info/name are located) being completely see through is something those of us who are hosted have had to deal with for quite a few months now, not that I hate it any less with the passage of time. I don't have any good suggestions. I lowered the brightness on the screen on which RE opens, which helps somewhat with the washed out look but not the see-through top of the windows. I do miss the old color palette. I also think the font of the info at the top of the window/record was previously larger making it easier to read what is open.

    I'm at a loss here. We are hosted and the tops of my windows are not clear just white, nor are they justified right. Perhaps it has to do with me using a Mac and not a PC?

    At first I thought maybe it might have something to do with your theme for the computer in general but that doesn't affect my RE database view so I'm not sure.

  • This is how our records look too. I guess I describe it as see through because it usually ends up white on white and so hard to tell which record I'm seeing ?

    It is definitely not your computer's theme. Unfortunately, the only thing that can be done is lowering the brightness of your monitor, which only helps in making the white less white but not all the other issues. I'm surprised it took so long for the roll out of this new "theme" to reach everyone. There was some discussion of it on the FB User group in the summer. Someone reached out to BB support explaining the issues users have with it and wondering if they'll go back to the older theme or somehow adjust this new one in light of the complaints. The response was that the new theme is here to stay and, in not so many words, we should get used to it.

    Here's how my records look
  • We are hosted by BB and I use a PC as opposed to a Mac due to what tasks I need to do on a daily basis. I am seeing a bar like what you posted. Clear or white bar and hard to make a distinction as to where the ‘lines’ are.

  • Austen Brown, Is this what you wanted to see? The open window gets lost on the screen at the top because of the white/clear bar. If users on a mac are seeing a different view then BB needs to make everyone's view the same.
