UI Suggestion: Revert Color Scheme to improve UI

I commented this on a related topic, but I wanted to put it here for extra visibility:

 

Functionally, Alteryx Designer is a fantastic piece of software. But the bright default color scheme, particularly after the rollout of 2022, makes it literally painful to use for extended periods of time, although this can be mitigated through changing canvas settings. There are several posts on the discussion forums requesting the inclusion of a Dark Mode. While I assume this is a lower priority for the Designer's developer team, I have a suggestion for a smaller improvement that may satisfy some of us: Change the tool ribbon section of the window back to dark blue.

 

I would assume this isn't as difficult to implement as a true dark mode, and it might satisfy a good portion of the community requesting dark mode. Combined with users taking advantage of existing features to change the canvas settings to a darker color scheme, this would allow for a useable facsimile of dark mode for users that find the default color scheme painful for their eyes over long periods of time. Darker shades of blue are still used in a lot of the branding and webpages, so it would still match any aesthetic changes made to the company's logo or promotional materials.

 

It might not be the feature some in the community have requested, but I think it will make a lot of those users happy. Please consider this for future updates, and thank you for your time.

Hi @alexg1 

 

I would recommend liking the post @Felipe_Ribeir0  mentioned and posting in that topic directly.. 

 

You can also create a new topic idea if needed.

 

Hope this helps.
