Studio Design Refresh - Updated Icons & High DPI Capabilities

As the person above me is saying, I believe the better update would be to allow people to choose what their UI will look like. Maybe some like this new one, I see a lot loving the old one, but I also know people with custom ones. Instead of forcing 1 thing to everyone, allow us to choose from a variety of different UIs, maybe even allow developers to somehow make their own and even sell/give it to others too. I hope this makes sense, writing it at a pretty late hour.

Hello Roblox employees. We don’t want your modern hard-to-see icons. You didn’t even add a setting to change back? Modern cool icons but the developer’s cant work. Good Job. A++ Rip me and my game progress. Thanks for forcing a studio-breaking update again. Love you. RIP

How do I revert back to old icons? It is no longer in beta features. I respect the effort but I am too used to the old icons it would take me a long time to get used to the new ones.

Bump, where is the option to revert back to the old Icons? The last time studio icons were changed I lost a week of dev time due to being so frustrated with the new Icons before finding out you could revert them. Now the beta feature option is gone. Give Devs the option to opt into the new icons if they’d like, but honestly I just don’t see the point, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I recommend you use this until they add the option to revert icons (if they do). It’s less eye straining and more similar to the older icons. I’m somewhat used to it already in contrast to the new studio icons which I couldn’t get used to and there’s quite a few themes to choose from.

Can we please remove this icon update or make it secondary to pick?
The previous icons are so much better than this one. I don’t see why Roblox decided to even update the icons.

Is it really hard to make icon selection in studio settings? I create educational materials for children in Roblox Studio, every now and then these changes break all the outlines for classes, not to mention books, these are some kind of jokes! What you are doing is not serious. -.- If you really want new icons, make it as an additional option in the roblox studio settings, give the choice, you even make educational materials yourself that will not be up to date with the new icon design!

If anyone wants most of the old icons back, I suggest looking at this thread I found earlier today.

Roblox, fix this update.

This update is seriously unusable. Every 3 weeks or so I’m forced to reinstall Studio or go through a process of annoying tasks just to make Studio’s workspace LOAD properly and not load in a stupid external window that can’t even be used/opened; just for the workspace to keep flickering and freezing when playtesting. And i’m sure I’m not the only one. This has been going on since this released, 2 months ago and Studio always somehow ends up becoming unusable because of this. There are also multiple posts about this if I’m not mistaken.

Yeah, everyone seems to have their own story. For me, the windows go in Ohio if you use them in different combinations, the little tab thing doesn’t save, so it always stays hidden (every time I open studio I have to open it back up again), and of course, the loading screen freeze bug.

PLEASE do this someone PLEASE listen for once. This is always messing with my work flow.

Bump, this update is seriously affecting me and everyone else’s workflow who is too used to the old icons to just width draw from them in an instant (or just not wanting to use the new icons). Either way there should be an option to select beta or old. Sad, someone please listen.

Am I in some sort of twilight zone or is “Enable DPI Aware Studio” missing from my beta list?

Edit: nevermind I’m a little late on realizing that that setting being able to be disabled is what was allowing me to once enjoy the old icons for the last time without having to fight my way to get them back.

Just in case you guys forgot which is probably not the case, TerrainRegion doesn’t have a clear icon:

can we please get the old icons back, at least an option for them? of all the things to simplify, these icons are not one of them. It is getting hard to distinguish things when every icon has been turned into a single basic shape and color. It was way easier to tell things apart when they were more detailed

I’m not liking it at all. It’s so confusing and all of the simplistic icons just blend together. It feels like I’m doing a pixel hunt to figure out where stuff is in the toolbox. If they absolutely needed to change the icons (they didn’t) they could have at least made the new ones look similar enough to the old ones where it’s not so disorienting and having to re-learn what everything is. With pretty much universally negative reception to this change it just makes me wonder; who was this made for? I’ve been using roblox studio for almost 15 years now and just looking at this is legitimately making me dizzy.
