Studio Design Refresh - Docking Overhaul & Ribbon Upgrade

My only issues so far are
1: how much space the Properties tab takes when selecting an object
ae

2: The Toolbox keeps placing itself on the right side after loading a new place.
(I always place the Toolbox on the left side of Output.)

3: Like everyone else, the checkmark is a bit harder to read, safest bet would be to revert that one to the previous design.

4: The UI button being moved is kindof an issue to me, it’s true that I could place a hotkey or add it to the quickbar, but I find this just an odd edit after all this time.

Also I found that when I press F7, the Command Bar has to be manually enabled instead of being enabled by default. (Sometimes works for the server view, but not the player views.)

This completely messed up my Studio layout. I can’t even fix it because of it. :confused:

I don’t even want to attempt to fix it because using it has just been one big bad
experience so far. It’s just giving my Studio a complete meltdown and I don’t know what flag I need to use to disable it.

Hi @pobammer, can you please provide the repro steps that got you into this state? Also, can you please tell us what plugins you had installed?

How come some of us got the redesigned layout, and then it disappeared out of nowhere?

Also +1 to everyone else saying that the UI toggle needs to stay put. I don’t see any reason not to have both options.

It seems as if it was causing too many issues and they rolled back the update. If anyone restarts their studio it will revert for them aswell.

*EDIT : Hmm, actually- it looks like some people have not reverted at all. Very strange.

Six issues:

  • My widget layout was reset. I opened studio, was prompted to install the latest update (the UI overhaul), then when studio restarted my widgets were reset.

  • Bug reoccurrence: Cursor Position Doesn't Save When Switching Between Script Editor Tabs - #3 by EmeraldSlash

  • Pressing Ctrl+Shift+F when the Find in All Scripts panel is not visible will bring it to the foreground but will not focus the search input field (so the hotkey needs to be pressed again).

  • Widget tab ordering seems to get forgotten/overwritten. For example, if I make a panel on the left side of the screen, and dock multiple tabs inside of it (e.g. Asset Manager, Find in all Scripts, Output), the ordering of these tabs will be modified in some cases I think. (Like when going in and out of Play Solo.)

  • New bug: Scripts are running before rendering-related properties have been initialized properly in Play Solo

  • There is very noticeable flickering in the studio window when starting/stopping play solo. It’s kind of annoying. There was some flickering previously, but it was more subtle so I wasn’t bothered by it.

When my Studio got update, my Plugin stop detecting any MouseButton connections in Workspace, and this’s VERY annoying for me:


I tried click my mouse everywhere, and it NOT working after this update. Also, after this update, every time I update my plugin, it receives new position, and I forced to manually put it back:

I think I’ll quit Roblox studio, if this bug won’t fixed soon.

Bug: When opening a place for the first time after opening Studio, having plugins in the Quick Access Bar causes it to draw over the ribbon’s categories and render some of them unusable (only Plugins category can be clicked in this situation):

And this is what happens when you already have opened a place, but closed it and opened another one (can’t reproduce 100% of the time):

Refreshing the Quick Access Bar (by editing it’s buttons) seems to temporarily fix theses issues.

Because it’s not a ribbon category, it’s a separate button.


There is a reason, and it’s pretty simple - the UI toggle shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

Considering the fact that you now can have multiple tab bars in a single Studio window, it just doesn’t make sense to have the buttons on only one of them.

I’m very confused. By now I had this new Studio Design for around 5 times now. Studio keeps on updating and I keep on getting the old & new Studio Design.

2 days ago I got an update which gave me the old studio design, rather than the new one.

Also, widget contents will sometimes fail to be rendered (just showing an empty background). I have noticed this with the Find in All Scripts panel and with sleitnick’s DataStore Editor plugin when moved from floating to being a tab in the main viewport. Could be a plugin issue, but it wasn’t happening before.


After I updated studio, the UI and tablet emulation buttons/widgets disappeared

Does anyone know how to bring it back? it’s way better than constantly switching to view and then clicking “UI Visibility” to toggle selecting the UI

You cannot bring it back. The best you can do is add the toggles under the Quick Access Toolbar in the top left corner of your screen.

I cant see the checkboxes!

on my 1440 they are tiny and awful.
Eye contrast insensitivity, Its an accessibility issue.
Set them back please!

Also

I shouldnt have to drag across my screen to position this. Cornering my mouse to the desired location to position a tab has been fine. This is clunky, and slower. Everyone else does the former. This isnt a gamepad, its a desktop! tysm

get rid of these fat 5 pixel borders. They waste precious space!

  • When I run studio in DPI mode, all the scroll bars are super tiny for me to select.… It is really annoying trying to select a really tiny button and never had this issue with the old studio… If I disable DPI mode then I run into the issue of studio being way too big for me which I had been experiencing this issue for years now…
    Would be good to have the option to change the size of the scroll bars.

  • I think this is a bug but I cannot change colors for multiple selected particle emitters seems to only effect particle emitters only for me.

  • Please add the hide UI button on the top right instead of going to view then hide UI

Hey, where did the buttons for hiding UI and changing device go? I know they are in VIEW too, but they were really convenient there in the corner

Please let us to have an option to opt out / disable this.

Yet the redesign might sounded great and amazing, I personally dislike it. The new designs seems unnecessary to me and they are very clunky to use.

  • If you want to reorder scripts, you have to hover through the entire thin script bar without falling out of bounds. Or else you will have to put the script back to the window, and drag through the thin bar again. This is very annoying when there are multiple scripts being opened and you want to reorder them.

  • I REALLY hope to see something like a double-decked script bar for displaying more scripts.
    A concept:

  • I used to double-click this bar to go completely full screen inside Roblox Studio but that no longer works. If you want to go full screen now, you have to drag all 4 sides to the edge of your screen correspondingly. Very inconvenient.

  • Not a huge issue but this happens when stop playing (Shift+F5).

  • It is also causing various problems such as the mouse not being locked in the center while in first person. Previously it only happens when starting a server to play test (probably because my playtest window is a small square. Now it happens randomly.
