I’m complaining loud and clear that I hate the new colour scheme that WordPress has just imposed. Feeling irritated and seeking some solace in the sea. New Zealand. Taken by Liz 13 Nov 2018.
Love the peace of watching your seascape! I have been away from my computer for a week and didn’t see any announcement about the color changes. Today as I started catching up with posts I thought there was something amiss with my computer.
Glad you love the rocky beach photo Candice! The good news is that the orange is partially re-implemented now in the Classic Blue interface i.e. the current stats bar and Publish button. Unfortunately it hasn’t been propagated through to when I hit the Like button which still goes to a dark blue solid star. I’ve gold WP that I’m glad some orange is back but that when I “Like” a post the star needs to go Orange. A darker blue isn’t good enough!
Thanks for thinking of me Tanja. Unfortunately it doesn’t offer the option to revert to how it was before. (By the way, I’ve left plenty of grumpy comments on that post for WP to read).
I’ll never understand why they don’t just leave well enough alone. I thought something was wrong with my phone when I first noticed it. Somebody gets paid to come up with that?!? 😏
I know. Its unbelievable. The sooner they give an option to revert, the better I’ll be pleased. I loathe that pink colour. Property management company we used to rent from used it for everything, even the A4 paper form we had to fill out for quarterly inspection!
This was imposed with no choice Ted and there is no facility to revert. Most of what was an orange-brown colour (like the notification dot and the “current” stats bar) is now a ghastly pink colour. When I hit “Like” it just goes a darker blue instead of orange. Why can’t they just leave things alone?

I’m on the free WP .com platform, not sure about you. If you change to “Classic Blue” you’ll get the closest you can to the old scheme. The instructions are at https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2019/01/08/customize-your-wordpress-com-dashboard/

Yes, that is what we use, too. I’ll have a look at this, thanks for sharing.

I hate that “ghastly” pink too! But I love the rocky beach photo.

Mmm, see what you mean about the colours – the ‘like’ star just going a deeper blue is really confusing!

Exactly, who in their right mind would do that? I’ve complained loudly via the comments on their post about it.

One additional thought, Liz. Here is the link that WordPress published, to customize your dashboard. You might have already tried, and if so, please ignore it. Otherwise, it might help you get the colors your want.

WordPress has asked me if I want to change my interface several times, I skipped it. Too old for change 😀
