January 2018 Release Notes

I am getting really tired of not being able to control the app bar/UI color at either a user or app level. How is quickbase an enterprise app if it can't be configured to follow corporate design guidelines of at least a color scheme? First, everything was shaded blue, so i had to design all of our buttons and rich text fields in our app to match the blue just to get a coherent palette on screen, even if it wasn't (our) palette. Now it's purple, so we either live with blue and purple mix, or I get to spend all day recoloring field design elements to match. The new design is a step in the right direction, but anything that forcibly faces the end user (ie app bar) that we can't control should be a design NEUTRAL color (ie white or gray, just like the rest of the forced UI) ...You like purple, fine. Just don't force it down our throats. Either make it NEUTRAL or modifiable.

I put in a ticket to report this as a bug. I will post back as to how Support responds.

Greg,
I agree with your issue. You are specifically referring to Summary Reports where the letters in the colum �group by� field are black on a grey background which does not have enough contrast. That does need to be changed.

This is not an issue of just whether or not we like purple. We can�t read the column headings in Summary reports.

I was using Google Chrome.  I can read the headers in Microsft Edge and Explorer, but on those two, the data header fonts are black against a dark gray background and also are difficult to read. 

Can we change back to the blue color?  I was able to change the heading by "branding", but what about the App Tabs?  Can they be changed? 

Can't read table column headers. Shading and font colors make it unreadable.

Love the new icons. :)
