michael, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) I've just had another look at my mastodon instance's web interface for the first time in a while (I usually use Ivory), and the UI changed completely. It's much darker and ... 'boxy'. Not sure I'm a fan of the boxed look, to be honest. Has some serious retro feel about it to me. Are the mastodon team cooking up a big overhaul? If so, then they are off in the completely wrong direction imo. What do you think? (Screenshot now attached, for those whose instances are not yet on the latest version.) #mastoadmin

morph, 2 months ago @michael I like it. Especially the message box which gave a really bad impression before.

michael, 2 months ago @morph fair enough. It does seem like I’m in the minority so far. Which message box do you mean though?

barbapulpe, 2 months ago @michael I always use the Web UI since over a year and I can't say I've noticed any change since 4.0.2 ?

michael, 2 months ago @barbapulpe I'm on 4.3.0-alpha.3+glitch. Should probably add this to the post. I haven't opted into the glitch UI, so any changes should be from upstream mastodon. These changes should make it into your server when you upgrade to 4.3 I imagine.
