UI Mistakes – Latest Update

Hi,

Whilst your plugin is great, the latest update messes with the backend in a bad way, as confirmed by multiple other posts on here and elsewhere.

[1] The dark mode is now unusable since it’s all black. Open an element’s typography settings for example and there’s no distinction between the panel and the background. It was fine and usable before, now it’s not.

[2] The previous blue frames etc. have changed to a pinky/purple colour which just doesn’t contrast enough anymore. Another UI issue.

Using Hello theme here. Please don’t ask for a screenshot, it’s not required. If you have the latest version you can see the issues. Many other people are disappointed by this change and you’ve actually made your product worse with this update.

Would you please restore the old colours, or atleast provide an option to customise UI colours?

Thankyou

Ik heb dezelfde klacht over de UI. Where previously all buttons and windows were designed with neutral colors (grey, blue and green), it is now a high-contrast pink color. It looks awful.

I contacted support, but they responded with a response that boiled down to this: “Pink is our branding, so we’re not going to change that. Your comments will be noted.”

On forums I also find many complaints about the new color palette. To the developers: listen to the users and choose which color to use! Make it a setting, or restore the colors to the way they were before.

For now I have rolled back the old version.

The side bar black and also the pink are a mistake for sure, but mistakes happen. It would be harmful to Elementor as a product though if new users have a better experience on another theme/plugin because of these changes. Same here rolled back for now, far from ideal though. Hopefully they’ll realise, if it’s only stylesheet tweeks then an option within Elementor settings should be easy enough to do. It’s insane if the Elementor team really won’t budge on this.

Hi

Can you please send me a link to your site?

By sending that reply you’ve just demonstrated how you aren’t serious at all about helping people who post on here. A copy and paste response which doesn’t even make sense. You don’t need the URL of the site for this issue. Many people all saying the same but you can’t even take it seriously. Time for a new theme.

Hi

Unfortunately, at this moment, it’s not possible to change the look of the editor. You are only able to change the light and dark themes.

The Editor and other Elementor screens have been recolored and simplified. The new colors are better adapted to Dark and Light mode, and are optimized for accessibility. The new color scheme will not impact any functionalities with the product.

Although I understand that you might prefer the previous look, and for this I will tag this ticket as a feature request, so the developers can consider adding the option in the future to change the editor to the previous look which it was using.
