Weekly update – 16 May 2025

Thanks for all the feedback on the new admin design last week. Based on the amount of feedback and requests we’ve received, it sounds like there’s a lot of interest and enthusiasm in the new design, which is fantastic. I’ve been making note of all the suggestions and will talk through them with Diogo and Jan at KONKAT Studio next week. There have been several good ideas mentioned. I was able to implement a couple of them already, including separately configurable light/dark mode main colors, and inline embedding of custom SVG logos (so the color can be styled). 

Personally I’m loving the new dark mode and have been spending most of my time in it. But I’m really digging the new light mode too, so I suspect I’ll settle into the “auto”, getting the best of both worlds according to the time and/or daylight. If you’ve not yet upgraded to ProcessWire 3.0.248 you are in for a treat when you do. Like anything new and on the dev branch, there may be some things yet to add and fix, but even in this initial release, I think you’ll find the new admin design to already be a beautiful and refreshing upgrade. At least that has been my experience. Thanks again to @diogo and @jploch for their great work with this. Have a great weekend!

Couldn't have said it better. This is on the dev branch and is amazing so far. Massive thanks to all involved. And all the people giving feedback is amazing as well. By the tine this is ready for prime time it will be awesome.
