MDN's new UI is ugly

Hi @zitup

I’m sorry to hear that. I doubt you can go back since this is a complete redesign and not just a theme. Personally, I like the new design especially the addition of a dark mode and the always visible in-page navigation. Of course, everything’s a matter of taste in the end. :man_shrugging:

If you have some specific problems with the new design you could open issues on the GitHub project for the platform:

If you fundamentally dislike the design I think there’s not much you can do. :slightly_frowning_face:

Have a nice day,

I think markup didn’t change much, so you could get old stylesheets from https://web.archive.org/ or https://github.com/mdn/yari/commit/dbaddf2c7578cde358dd974b35587d22b63d94dd and apply them by browser plug-ins like Stylus. It would require some work though.

Maybe i can use https://github.com/mdn/yari to build an another website with old ui.

I hate it too. Seems too much like any other websites these days. I just cant look at it anymore.
