Improve the design

Just signed up and love the "Group tasks" in calendar functionality, it' something I've been hoping someone would crash, which you did. The only thing right now that makes my experience feel a friction is THE DESIGN. Come one guys, bump this up to a more professional level. Everything is sooo small, almost unreadable. And no contrast in colors makes being in that environment dull.
Just my two cents. Sort this and you are on your way to a great tool.

Hi everyone, we just found a bug about calendar colors and we'll fix it soon, but this is the way to fix it manually for now:
- Go to Settings>General>Theme and change the theme to light.
- Quit the app and relaunch
- Change it back to dark
- Quit the app and relaunch.
Let me know if the colors are now different for you. Thanks:)

Hey Akiflow team,
After giving the new design a try, I think I prefer the old look. There was more separation, higher contrast, and had a focus on productivity.
Stefania
Anthony Nguyen: Hi Anthony, thanks for your feedback! What do you mean by "had a focus on productivity"? Thank you:)

Stefania: The distinct borders made it easy to distinguish between each of the UI elements. Without it, everything kind of just blends together. Hope that makes sense.

Not a fan at all of the new design released yesterday, would love to go back to the old design. My calendar colors are all messed up now and I can't change them. Speaking of no contrast in colors and being dull from the original post, this new update makes the colors even more washed out, no contrast, more dull, please give me the option to go revert to the old design.
Stefania
Andrew G: Hi Andrew, thank you so much for your message!
Do you use light or dark mode?
You can right-click on an event to change its color.

Stefania: I am using Dark mode. This screenshot shows 3 different colors for calendar items and they all very similar that it's hard to easily distinguish between them. The old design had better contrast in colors. I also liked the lines and borders of the old design and the strips on the timeline showing past from present.
Stefania
Andrew G: Hi Andrew, can you please try to:
- Go to your settings and change the theme to light.
- Quit the app and relaunch
- Change it back to dark
- Quit the app and relaunch
and let me know if the colors are the same after that?
You are using the web version, right?

Stefania: Thanks, I tried those steps but it didn't change anything. I am using the desktop version.
Stefania
Andrew G: Ok, thanks for letting me know. If you are on version 2.33.19 you are on the latest one with no color bugs so those are probably Google calendar custom colors and we can improve the conversion from those colors to Akiflow.

Hi everyone, since this feedback we improved a lot our design and we just released a new version with new layout and new colors. This is just the start of our new redesign, let me know what you think about that:)

Stefania: I totally disagree with this by the way. The existing design is minimal, and calming. Nothing gets in the way, it's the strongest reason I have to use this tool.

Jorn Kirkels
Jonathan Nguyen: Same here, looking for an alternative now after the new design...
Stefania
Jonathan Nguyen: Hi Jonathan, did you try the new design (we released a new version yesteday)?
Stefania
Jorn Kirkels: Hi Jorn, would be great to know what you don't like about the new design! Thanks for your feedback.

Jonathan Nguyen
Stefania: I'm using it at the moment, it's ok. Just don't change the cleanliness, font etc... I think if font size is an issue, people should be given the choice to increase font size.

Stefania: Is there any way to go back to the old design?? 😬
Stefania
Jonathan Nguyen: Thank you so much Jonathan!
Stefania
Andrew G: No but we want to improve this version, I replied on your other comment to understand how we can improve this for you:)
