How to switch back to old labels?
Asked by Krzysztof K:

Hello.

How do I switch back to the old labels that were useful instead of the new ones that you actually have to read everytime because of the less distinct look and lower readability?

Thanks in advance!

So right now we are running about 3900 Trello cards and 115 Trello boards. It's a massive amount of content representing all past and current work in our project management workflows from large to small jobs.  

We have a finely tuned system of escalations through my staff based on the visual of the labels (different colors fall in different departments). It is now so hard to see that this communication is getting routinely misrouted.

As a business class user I want to express my extreme displeasure and advise I'm now looking at Base Camp and Asana as alternates like my competitors usually use. I've always liked the versatility of Trello with integrations however these sweeping changes with out consideration are TERRIBLE.   

You can tack on the inability to search by boards without knowing the board ID now - it's hidden in the URL so you can get it - but it makes the search functionality useless to my team when they are querying across multiple boards.  

Atlassian has not elevated Trello - they are running it into the ground and I hope it shows in their market share.

I'll let you know what i find out!

In the meantime, I've volunteered to help funnel some feedback about this, so can you let me know a little more about what you're not liking about this so I can share that feedback?

body: The colors make everything less distinct so it's a bit harder to see what is what on a board! The smaller black text is also less appealing to the eye! In general it is also uglier than what it was!

Thanks for the info!

body: Got it, noting the feedback, thanks!

body: Unfortunately I have found no setting for it and had to style them back from what I remembered...

body: I really hope they change this back or let us use the old style... this new style is hard to see. I don't think using the patterns is a fair solution either it just looks worse.

If you are talking about the pale colors and the paler text I would like to know as well!

body: There has to be a way to choose the format for the label, if anyone finds it please let me know, the transparent, updated labels are such a pain to look at!
