Studio Design Refresh - Updated Icons & High DPI Capabilities

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.

i am not love this update beacuse old icons are basic and its look so cool why you remove roblox then why you didnt buy famfamfam or icon rights?

i am dont want to waste my time for extarct vanilla 3 icons pack zip file and old icons pack zip file

It doesn’t take too long and you only have to do it once. The files are only images so for me it took a few seconds

Famfamfam is free to use. There’s a reason studio has been using it for almost two decades. The icons have changed to unlock Roblox from relying on famfamfam + refresh the appearance of studio.

Kindly put, it’s very minimal effort now to set up a custom icon pack for Studio. Don’t complain about having to do it when you only have to do it once. The option existing at all is a gift.

I hope that there will be a dropdown menu in Studio Settings where you can choose 3 icon styles:

  • Modern (redesigned icons)
  • Modern Blue (original redesigned icons seen in RDC 2022, still liking them to this day)
  • Classic (the old studio icons before the redesign)

Here’s what Studio will look like with the 2nd icon style (Modern Blue) applied:

Home tab:

Model tab:

Avatar tab:

Test tab:

View tab:

Plugins tab:

When this icon style is applied, it isn’t just the ribbon icons being changed, instance icons have been changed as well. This is proof in the Insert Object window below.

Insert Object window:

Please note that these are just concept images i made showing the current version of Studio with blue icons applied.

May the unselected Workspace icon please be revised? The crammed colors disrupt the simple aesthetic the rest of the icon set is going for. Reusing the selected version of the icon and making it green like LocalizationService would really do for my eyes.

Workspace (Unselected):

But then they would look nearly identical, I think the extra color fits for something so important :hugs:

Imo the Workspace’s importance is already highlighted by its positioning at the top of the Explorer. The extra colors are barely decipherable due to their analogousness and the icon’s microscopic size.

The selected icon of each other Explorer item is identical to its non-selected version. It’s odd that the Workspace is not following suit.
