    Some manufacturers will offer a "grace period" free upgrade to users who bought the old version within the "red zone" of a new version being relesaed. The red zone might be a month, or in some rare cases, might be 90 days.

    But from June to today? That's like 4 months...so I would say it might not be likely. Never say never, however. You should reach out to customer support and ask them. The worst they can say is "no", so ask!

    I love you, Native Instruments, but deep down within my heart, I dislike the logo change.

    Please go back!

    Now after installing Komplete Kontrol 3 and Kontakt Player 7.6, I deeply hate the new „stylish“ icons.

    KO stands for which? KOntakt? Or KOmplete KOntrol?

    KT is KonTaKT or KompleTe KonTrol?

    WTF!!

    KO is Komplete Kontrol, so KT is obviously Kontakt. 😋

    ...btw, i can not understand why people still commenting on this.

    It is DONE already, months ago.

    Finished.

    End of story.

    Not going back.

    Ever!

    How more clearly can be expressed? 🙄

    I mean, I understand, but...

    Wait, Is it possible to go to the files and change the logo to the old one?

    Just like it is possible to change the startup sound of an OS?

    On MacOS yes, you can just press copy on any image and paste it into an app https://9to5mac.com/2021/11/08/change-mac-icons/

    For windows it's probably be a lot more complicated.

    Thanks anyway, bro.

    At least the amazing sounds and effects from NI will help me cope.

    You just don't give up, eh? 😄

    OK. If you are really up to waste your time for a logo, here is something you can do:

    Note: For Windows only!

    • Download a program named Resource Hacker and install it.
    • Open the .exe file and go to "Pictures".
    • Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll... until you find a value named "KOMPLETE/KK/HEADER/HDR_LOGO_NI.PNG".
    • Export it as .png (just for see its dimensions).
    • Replace it with an older logo.png with exactly the same dimensions.
    • Save the .exe (the program always keep a backup of the original)
    • Done.

    Now, why this is just a waste of time?

    • Because on the next update you will loose it and you have to remake it on every update!
    • And most important, you might break your license agreement!

    Yea, but can we please finally get rid of the waste of space that is the forum icons for the categories? Months ago someone said it was temporary, but the annoying non-descrit blue blobs still obfuscate navigation. This whole forum experience is so annoying, it finally made me unpin the forum from all of my devices...just sayin

    What are you talking about? The gigantic search header?

    No, burger menu, Categories and then good luck telling the categories apart from fifteen or so identical blue blobs. I brought that up as one example for the many many things that really annoyed me about this forum UX wise and then someone said they are basically filler until new stuff arrives. Reminds me a bit of how updates are handled in general, lol
