People complained about them being green, so we’re trying it with purple. ---

I actually liked the green. But whatever, you can’t please everyone. ---

Ah I see. For what it’s worth, I prefer the green, but it doesn’t really matter to me what colour it is 🙂 Thanks for all your hard work with the community! \<3 EDIT: I second what @hachiken said ---

What I don’t like now is how the buttons look, I also didn’t care about the color of the button, but at this point I don’t think it matters enough to complain about it. ---

I also prefer the circular ones, it was a bit easier to see the numbers ---

I liked the green too, personally, but people suggested using a color that kept with the rest of the theme, so that’s what we’re trying right now. ---

That, and that (now, since it seems there was an update today) they look like they’re always selected, which is weird. > [@CyrusS](#): > > I liked the green too Green is not a creative color. 👀 ---

Not happy with them being the same colour ---

Now I’m complaining that they are purple. Please make them green again #ml/rga. Or give us an option to personalize the colors without scripts. And please redo the colors overall. Don’t give us a glimpse at nicer colors just to take them away again. That’s too cruel 😢 ---

I actually like the purple. Honestly though, I’ll be happy with anything as long as the colour isn’t dependent on the number of reviews/lessons there are (ie, making them red or something when there’s 100+). ---

Everyone’s a critic.😭 Seriously, though, feel free to keep posting your thoughts, this is going to be something of an ongoing process. The last half-dozen posts alone show that there’s clearly some differing opinions when it comes to colors. > [@iwamoge](#): > > Honestly though, I’ll be happy with anything as long as the colour isn’t dependent on the number of reviews/lessons there are (ie, making them red or something when there’s 100+). That should be gone now. It’s either grey when the count is at zero, or purple if more than zero. ---

Awesome, thank you! I think the purple fits in well with the rest of the colour scheme on the site. The green clashed a bit, but green is one of my favourite colours so… Like I said, happy either way XD ---

Thanks for changing the button setup on mobile though. Less work to refresh the page and access the reviews immediately. ---

The purple definitely fits the site’s color scheme overall much better than the green/blue/red did. I wasn’t fond of having color there to start with, but most of my problems with it have gone away now that the colors aren’t jarring/out of place. Still not terribly fond of the horizontal layout, I preferred the circled number with the label below, but it does fit with the rest of the updated header, so I can’t complain too much. …it does bother me a little that the lesson/review buttons aren’t centered on the screen, though. They’re off just a little bit. And I just realized the vertical divider marks have disappeared and I’m not sure how I feel about that. ---

UI/UX design is hard work; it’s one of the reasons I prefer doing the server-side, and API design work. One thing I just noticed about the responsive UI, because I’m a terrible person who looks for edge cases, is that the logo and review jump to the center just before the rest of the hamburger expands. I honestly don’t expect anything to be done because this is a ridiculous edge case. I just thought it was interesting how the CSS rules are resolving 1022px width: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/3X/1/d/1d81877b1921835c1c350191a423ea759402f502.png) 1023px width: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/3X/6/9/698c71ff5bd677220865a1f76f056e22def04615.png) 1024px width: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/3X/2/3/239eb7598161189278d6fd671c8b3a600d53a38c.png) ---

I’ll be the first to admit that the idea of the colours changing from green to red was offputting - at first - and only because I didn’t know _what number they changed at_. Since I’ve learned that it basically never went red unless you used the reorder script and abused it a little (like me 😅), I actually came to like the idea. I’m not saying I dislike the way it is now either. In fact, I find it interesting that these changes are spawning new script ideas in the first place - that further shows the diversity of opinion, when enough people are willing to code scripts to keep some of the updated features before rollbacks. I think people’s opinions are also going to change over time. In some cases, 24h isn’t enough to even begin to get used to a change.
