Just got this new main page redesign update and it’s freaking horrible.
Usability completely hindered, no ability in the beta features to disable it, can’t find a fast flag to disable it, so now I am forced to use an older version of studio (0.640.0.6400731) just so I don’t have to deal with that headache of a “redesign”.
Now I just need to find a way to disable the thing that says “Roblox studio is outdated” that forces me to update. Because I know that’s gonna be a problem for me soon.
Saw you edited your message, I was talking about the new RibbonBar, not the new studio home page… Please double check what you’re saying before you say I’m throwing a fit, thanks!
They’ve forcibly switched most of it over and we STILL haven’t gotten an announcement?
Right, but I feel like it’s in the wrong category (unless if it’s temporary) if it’s under the view drop down in my opinion, since it’s not really a visual instruction for editing and more for debugging in test mode. Maybe a drop down for testing or its own drop down.
is there no way to get the old one back? i literally just had it a day ago and this new one is terrible, checked the beta features tab and i have none even selected
What! Do not tell me they cursed me with this UI forever…
Theres no way to remove this Home UI, those that got it will be cursed with this for the rest of their life! >:3
Try setting these FFlags to False:
EnableLuaStartPage2
DevFrameworkModernStartPageStyle
DebugShowLuaStartPage
That context menu isn’t even that related to Studio, that’s literally just your operating system’s default context menu.
I’ve said it before, don’t use the beta if you don’t like it. I’ve stopped using it for now a long time ago.
The recent tab is pretty useful, don’t know why they killed it for now but it’s not that much of a problem to me.
(Should I be worried about getting this new start page)
Nah im fine with the new one.

It’s still clearly not supposed to happen. It wasn’t like this before.
I’m not using the beta. I was testing it to see just how good it was. It’s not good at all.
They just changed it to use the OS window topbar instead of the custom one right now, which I’m still not sure why they did that.
Was also just mentioning not to use the beta if you didn’t like it just in case. The UI has it’s pros and cons now but it will get better if they handle this well.
The Start page/home screen is just in testing for now so it’s not related to the Preview Beta. You don’t need the Beta on to get the new Start page.
There’s a Beta Feature called “Next Gen Studio Preview” that will get you the new menus/ribbon but it does not turn on the new Start/Home view. Please read the OP for background details — this is very much a first pass that we are continuing to update. We haven’t done much layout/space/design updates yet but they are coming!
Unfortunately there’s not currently a good solution for generating thumbnails for local files. This is true regardless of new or old UI. We have some ideas on how we might be able to do it but none of them are simple or quick. Even allowing creators to set a thumbnail manually will take some work.
The loss of the recently opened tab is a huge loss for me. My project(s) work in a TON of different games/places and what used to take 2 button clicks to enter a specific place, now requires 5:
1: Experiences
2: Group Experiences
3: Select group
4: Click the small arrow of the correct game to open place list (don’t miss-click the game banner or you’ll accidentally open the start place. Should be a double-click to open like before)
5: Select place to open
The recent tab allowed me to bypass steps 1, 2, and 3 (assuming the recent tab opened automatically as the last tab used).
Other than the issue we had with the first release, there’s no known issues with loading all plugins.
Please double check they are in both the Plugins menu and Plugins tab. The plugins tab doesn’t scroll (yet) so there’s a overflow menu if you have more plugins than can fit in the width of Studio. Also very soon you’ll be able to create your own tabs and put whatever combo of tools you want on there.
They are not, I tried to reinstall one of them and it didn’t work either.
Also i forgot to say, it’s happening on the current ui too.
Thanks for the feedback.
One of the biggest things on the experiences navigation is the limitations we have with the current search function. Today we can’t search across all those groups at the same time so we are making due with that limitation. Our eventual goals is what we call “omnisearch” which works like you (and I! ) would expect.
We actually put recents right on the Home tab which we thought would be more prominent and convenient. But we acknowledge the sizing, number of elements, etc. can be improved and we’re working on that. We will also eventually allow pinning/bookmarking — our whole goal is to get out of your way so you can focus on creating.
Hopefully you had the chance to read the OP so I won’t repeat too much here. But TLDR is that it is early days, we are by no means presenting this as ready to go fully live, and we agree with a lot of the feedback we’ve heard.
