Question

How to go back to old layout

Logged in this week and the entire QB Online application is different...and absolutely unusable.  How do I go back to the old layout?

 

To be clear, the new screens and layout DO NOT work with dark theme.  Even with sunglasses on, the screens are causing migraines.  The screens are all white, and the fonts are all light grey/blue, which, with a white background, can't be read at all.  None of the screens are "dark" (used to have most of them be black).  And I can't find 75% of the tasks I would normally use (the "New" section is gone (where you'd launch new invoices, new payments, new deposits, etc.)) and I can't see an option to revert to the old style.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the recent changes to QuickBooks Online, Learned.

     

    At this time, the option to switch back to the older version of QuickBooks Online is no longer available. To provide a consistent experience for all users, including accountants and their clients, everyone has been transitioned to the new version.

     

    Currently, the dark theme is also unavailable in the new layout. We understand how visual preferences impact your experience, so we encourage you to share this feedback with our product developers to help shape future updates and improvements.

     

    Here's how:

     

    1. Click the Gear icon at the upper right of your screen.
    2. Select Feedback and type in your product suggestions.
    3. Click Next to submit.

     

    Please feel free to leave a comment below if you have any further questions.

    For the last 3 years, every "update" to functionality has broken the dark theme for that screen.  Every update, in fact, every time I use the functionality, I provide "feedback".  I could paper a room with the "thank you for your feedback" emails.  And yet, you continue to spit in the faces of people with visual disabilities.  These are not "preferences" to us, they are accessibility requirements.  But QB doesn't care about that.  Payroll screens never worked with dark theme.  Same with Charts of Accounts.  Banking transactions has been broken for months.  

    Now, it isn't just a few screens, it is the ENTIRE application.  <smh> as I look to scrap QB entirely.
