However I think many long time users will turn off all the new UI stuff and continue to use the command line, toolbars, and pull-downs. Just like many people turned off all the Windows XP eye candy and made it look like Win2000. See you back in a 3 or 4 years to see how close I was...

It is just too different for what most are used to. I am excited for a lot of the new features though. The new UI is going to be hard to implement in the office.

In the pre paperspace days (for those old enough to remember) I did this to more accurately visualize color plotting. I guess I’ve gotten use to that over the years. This particular shade seems a little too close to the background color of the block editor. Has that changed with this release? I will likely go with a light shade of grey similar to the ribbon panel background. I’ve always changed the background color to a light shade.
