Also don't like new redesign. Could you please add option into settings to choose preferred theme/design? Thanks.

Any particular reason why new design is not good for you?

People just love familiar things and it is difficult to get used to the new. For example, I chose myvesta, because it looked like my favorite vestacp.
Another reason to stick with the old design could be that someone has already made a tutorial with screenshots for their users and doesn't want to redo it.

PS I'm also waiting for the button with the choice of the old design. Will you make one like this?

PSS Sorry for the mistakes, I'm writing through google translator.

Unfortunately, the old design is impossible to revert to.
First, if we had kept both templates, it would double our job in future development because we would have to implement everything we add to the frontend in both templates.
The second, old design is already modified to make a new one, it would not be easy to 'bring back' it - not impossible - but definitely we will not invest our time in it.
Third, the new design is not a lot different than the old... just the top menu is moved to the left... everyone with a little bit of brain will figure out that, even if he watches old screenshots in manuals.
As a hosting company, we also have old screenshots in the manuals... well... no big deals... we will replace them over time... until then, I'm sure everyone will figure out that the top menu is now on the left side.

The most important thing is that we didn't break some functionality.
If we did it, ping us, we will fix it.

In the end, I must agree with you, people love familiar things, and it isn't easy to get used to the new - but if we were to stick to that philosophy, websites in 2023 should look like they're from 1997 ? :D

In my opinion, the dashboard looks fabulous! Initially, it may take some time to get accustomed to it, and if there was one thing I would like to add, it would be a dark mode. There are great color inversion plugins available that would probably work well. Nonetheless, in one way or another, the dashboard looks fantastic.

Okay. I still don't feel much hope that it will get better, but I will make an attempt to express an opinion.

I attach a screenshot with the selected areas:
1) Russian-language versions of words do not fit and are closed with icons. And to be honest, I would remove the highlighted area altogether, because it creates the erroneous opinion that you need to click on these items. Only hinders.

2) A huge block about the panel on the user page. It also interferes.

3) I can't explain, but this yellow design of the date creates some strange discomfort.

PS I personally don't need information about the server on the right either, but at least it doesn't attract attention, and it can be ignored. Ideally, this information should also be hidden.

PSS By the way, if you don't want to make a second template, then maybe at least screw the ability to specify the colors for the theme design yourself? I understand that it's all a matter of taste, but I don't like the color of the buttons and the menu on the left either. I would like to repaint them

If you really want old myVesta version before redesign:

Code: Select all

cd /root
rm -rf /root/vesta
git clone https://github.com/myvesta/vesta.git

cd vesta
git reset --hard 2afbc2cddfbbc57f296640cb28d89fb29b2526c2

cp -rf /root/vesta/* /usr/local/vesta
