Please bring the old GUI element back to 3.0

At least make the old design an optional theme. Removing all the drop shadows, boxes that separate functions, then making it black is actually harder to read. I'm curious, who thinks 3.0 is easier to navigate? Compare the two.

    Yeah the option to switch back to classic view would be a nice feature

    New UI doesn’t improve anything, au contraire.

    The GUI is petty much the only think stopping me from updating.

    The issue highlights one of my biggest frustrations with NI, i.e the appearance of random, disparate non- communicating groups of developers, working on completely separate products, under one umbrella company.

    It's a wonder anything worthwhie gets done at all 🤔

    The new GUI is horrible and destroys the user experience. Years of beta test and I don't understand how anyone was able to realize this.

    The option to switch back to classic view is THE must have feature in the next update. Well … the new firmware to maschine + too but I'm losing all hope that they'll make it real.

    +1 on this, not a fan of the new GUI!

    +1

    Not a huge fan either, near 100% black is never used in dark mode in any of other apps I use… It's not much of an issue in NA2 or KK as both those apps dont display as much info as Maschine does.

    I like the flat design with no textures or shadows but it's just way to dark for me.

    Give option to use the older GUI. This is much harder on my eyes.

    Well, sometimes everyone is declared as anyone in order for someone to impose their vision.

    The quality of the new UI, its eye straining background colour, the continuation of extraordinarily poor interface design, the lack of scaling and its atrocious use of space on larger screens were all brought up by users repeatedly during the beta testing.

    NI never changed their opinion that the new UI is better.
