I tested several browsers. The view displayed on Google Chrome is the worst. MS Edge, Explorer, Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox are identical and all display slightly better than Chrome.
Your font selection, the stroke of the font combined with font smoothing is horrid on high high resolution (high DPI) displays. The text is over-anti-aliased and mudded.
I hate being that guy but... $2000 a month product with (#02b8f3 - Buttons) drowned in a (#61347e + #74489d - [none customizable] Menu bar)? Not to mention the fallout I'm going to have to deal with tomorrow morning from the clash with all of my client's UIs that I built around the last Quickbase stylesheet. Look, I understand that I may be a different type of clientele than the rest of the Quickbase developer community in that I build and maintain applications for clients that expect a certain level of a professional appearance. But please take a minute and understand my frustration with the amount of money I spend with Quickbase every month, to now being forced to have to create my own external UIs and get hit with paying even more for the increase in monthly API calls. For the thousands of dollars I spend every year with Quickbase, it would be nice to get a little more than just a hosting server.
I would really like an option to revert to the previous color scheme/layout. Our company name on the top bar is now a light blue on a purple background and each page feels like an exercise designed to test for color blindness. I spend a good portion of my work day in Quickbase and I can already tell I'm going to have a headache before lunch.
Some of the users also not liking this new change. They are saying that previous one was better. It is because of it is the new and they are used to of the Old UI.
Personally, I don't like the black color of report column header.
Hey Connor, I'm really sorry the custom branding is causing you pain! What would have been a good way to communicate this change ahead of time? We've been mentioning it coming in the release notes for the past two months, and it was on our blog last week. Is there another way we can reach out to you more easily?
We can confirm the most common reason that users are having an issue viewing the global seach/help buttons at the top of a Quick Base application is because the Header's color has been set to white and this causes them to blend in. An Application Admin can find this setting by going into the Applications Settings and selecting the Branding header. From there you would want to change the background color on the Header. We suggest any color that isn't in the range of solid white or off white for better visibility.
For those users who are still experiencing any other visual or UI issues we do suggest that you put in a support case to help us track these issues and pass them on to our PD team. You can create a new case in Quick Base if you click Help > Manage Support Cases > + New Support Case. Thank you for your time today. Alternatively for those having issues finding the Help icon to put in a case you can also do so here:
On a 1440p monitor everything is hard to read, and it is difficult to distinguish different areas because there NO hard lines to divide things. Just let us switch back to the old one. It was MUCH better.
Reports that before wrapped perfectly, now extend out further than the size of the page. When I scroll left, it keeps the left-most cell, and cuts off any text in the previous cell. The green buttons are horrible and clash mightily with the grey/purple that has been added, and while I am ranting, what is up with the light grey and white buttons at the top? Did they test this with a usability group prior to making these changes? Was there multiple test groups that gave feedback to this? Can I see the reports that show that these are the changes users wanted and how the designers came up with this look?
use control and plus or minus keys to increase or decrease the display size. Your reports will fit better. I currently have mine set at 90% where it was at 125%.
