Revert Every UI change made in the past year please

Isthariel

Seriously, every single update that Discord has put out in the last year has somehow managed to be even more useless and annoying than the last. I would very much appreciate the option to revert every single thing that has been done to in in that time. These fonts are just the latest drop in the bucket. The pointless search button, the green icons that won't go away, the streaming menu that won't go away while I'm gaming, the original font and icon change, all of it is just plain awful. I cannot comprehend how any of this made it through the whole company and they thought any of it was good. If you won't let me revert the whole thing, at least provide options to toggle these different things on and off. Just turning on every single terrible idea for every single user with no option to revert is the worst possible thing you could be doing Discord.

    I wouldn't really say every UI change, just mostly the latest one

    Them rounding some stuff on the UI, yea it looked a little weird but it was just a small change

    Them changing icons a while ago, again, small change, you'd really need to be looking for differences

     

    But this latest update, you immediately see huge differences. Messages are wider because the size and weight changed, other elements just don't look centered, even your name in the bottom left is too thick.

    When hovering over a message the emoji picker you see just looks tiny and the design isn't pleasing to look at, the buttons in the 3 dot menu also just look tiny.

     

    And as I've seen many people say, you can barely tell a difference between a read, unread, and muted channel on light theme


    (maybe doesn't show the same in a screenshot but they're practically the same color, giveaways is muted)

    But then when you compare it to dark theme you can immediately tell which is which

     

     

    and I have to bring this up, BetterDiscord would be the solution for everyone, you can customize everything about how Discord looks so your eyes are the most relaxed and everything is readable; but Discord made this against ToS. If Discord were to add a Custom CSS people would complain about the UI less because they could change it to how they want it to look.
