Next Gen Studio UI Preview is here! [Beta]

That’s what I said when I was talking to a friend about it!

I agree. There needs to be a way you can go into some sort of “Edit Mode” so that you can easily click and drag buttons as you’re customizing a toolbar tab.

In its current state, having to right click and then select “move left” over and over and over is insane.

Is there any way to toggle back? The new UI is a lot more complicated, and I like the old look better…

Go to the beta features and then scroll down a bit and uncheck “Next Gen Studio Preview” and restart studio once and you’ll have the old one back.
and I agree the old one is much better than the new one.

Will there be an option to toggle between that and legacy UI? The “next gen” UI looks more suited for mobile users, but majority of devs work on desktop, which the current layout is more compatible with. I also found it to be very unintuitive and as a long time studio user I just don’t think I’ll be able to transition to it in the state that is currently presented.

I guess I’m a little late, but I actually prefer (and always will lol) the previous UI.

I’m not against this new UI, but I’d be really disappointed if it was made manditory.

So to summerize, please don’t require us to change to the new one if we don’t want to.

no one’s gonna see this post most likely lol

Edit: Roblox is going to disable the old gui by June, so I’m gonna have to rush to finish my project before then lol

Also, there is as of now in beta features.

The new ui uses up way too much space, specially on a lower resolution, leaving the place window squished.
Because of this the toolbox and most plugins are hidden, and it is honestly painful to try searching for every single one. Even now i do not know where the Asset Manager is located at.

sorry, i dont do much programming at all so idk how much of a saying i have in this, but this new layout kinda sucks, im so used to the old layout and this sudden change hit like a brick, please dont change this forever, leave a option to revert back to the old layout, some people might like the new layout but for me it just looks weird and off putting

You can add it yourself via custom tabs

Don’t really like how there’s 3 kilometers between each button and it just takes up way too much space compared to the old one. Everything also feels too rounded.

Theres a concept of a more compact version, also you can hide the labels, it doesn’t do that much but it will reduce the space between each button.

For a Ui revamp that is supposedly simpler, this feels more complex to use especially the plugins tab if you have more than 10+ addons installed, good-luck on trying to find specific ones you need. If they toggle scrolling for the extended plugins then I genuinely have no critics.

Also, where did the 3D import option? Maybe I’m not looking deep enough. I really am hating how its made the previous easily accessible features nearly impossible to find.

I found out from others that there is an option to revert it.

I hope Roblox won’t remove this option anytime soon.

I don’t want to underplay the amount of work that goes into designing a new software navigation like this and from the previews it looks very performant but I can’t begin to explain how infuriating it is to be forced onto a new app layout with no warning or obvious way to reconcile it. Thank you for showing me this :sweat_smile:

I would be strongly in favour of allowing a legacy toolbar layout option as default (without plans to remove in the future) for robox studio. I wish we would be consulted more in advance about features that impact our productivity beyond just “hey this is a new feature we have fully designed and spent tons of resources on- we fully intend to implement it but is there anything small we could change about it?”

With similar stirs around the terrain editor when that was updated, it would go a long way for the developer community. :+1:

Me too, i hope that they wont remove the feature to disable the new studio UI.

Can you please add a feature so you can edit the premade ribbons? u use the home tab a lot, but I would love to delete/add some stuff there and i don’t think it will be really hard for you guys to make (:

Thanks, I see it now, it was not in the older version of this new studio ui

I do not like that everything is in the center, I do not like that there is no undo / redo button anymore. I don’t like how smooth everything looks, the old UI just looks better overall.

Why is this toggled on by default? Roblox is so weird. Thanks for your help, you’re a life saver.
