A lick of fresh paint

Everyone knows it, the striking, bold orange that is so characteristically Umbraco. In this new release, that is no longer the case. The first, and most obvious of the changes, is the colour. From orange to…purple and green? Why was this changed? The new colour conforms to the new style guide Umbraco came up with some time ago. And after the update of Umbraco.com, they couldn’t leave out the content management system (CMS) now could they? So, goodbye orange and hello Umbraco ‘green and purple’. We’ll be honest, it does take some getting used to. But, we shouldn’t judge too fast because the back office does look a lot more modern with these new colours. Expectations are that version 7.6 will be released within a month. So, enjoy the orange for now because soon the new turquoise logo will be stealing the show!

These changes, also affect the secondary buttons like ‘preview’ and ‘actions’. All of the important buttons are more noticeable thanks to the complementary green and purple colours. And with the new rounded corners, the whole interface looks a lot more ‘friendly’ as well. You can now also personalize the background image of the login screen. Fun times!
