Unfortunately, I have to agree. I really wanted to like this, smooth lines and nice rounder text. However, on the larger monitors that our users have, it is difficult to read reports, and the buttons are awful.
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.
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:
Report printing still has icky alignment - or non-alignment - of title. That's been around for at least several years. And then the date runs into the info
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.
How about what portion of every screen is being changed specifically, the color codes being used and give us the time... two weeks of a vague "lots more purple". Really? This is a major change for those of us who have external clients using the system and now we have to scramble to make updates... Have you ever heard of a beta test period??
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.
Totally agree with Len Mizutowicz the font selection is bad; it is even worse on a high resolution screen, making virtually all of the text difficult and tiring to read.
Also, fonts with drops on a capital or two (J and Q) is rather silly - messes up vertical spacing of anything with January or June, for starters. Just keep it simple and uniform height caps.
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.
We changed our header color using realm management, but the text color override no longer works, so if you go with a white background you can't see the quick links.
I fully endorse and agree with you. There is a bit of a arrogance about this. I witnessed the same when I posted a long list of things that are amiss in native QB and no one bothered to come back to me if anything can be done about those. Resorting to user voice is another non sense which leads to nowhere and if it does, it is years before an issue is fixed.
