Facebook announced a significant redesign of the desktop last year. Restructuring comes with an additional blank space or vice versa if you are using dark mode. Now, Facebook announced that the redesign will be released for all users and will be released gradually until each user has access.
According to Facebook, the new design comes with simplified navigation that makes it easy for users to quickly find tools like games, videos, and Facebook groups. The redesigned Facebook site will also load faster than the previous version. It also shares various design attributes with the Facebook mobile app.
Then the company has included a dark mode that users have been longing for. Facebook’s dark style mimics the similar options available on services and websites like Slack and Twitter. Dark mode looks great and will also reduce the brightness of your screen. This helps minimize the glare from the screen that a person often receives without this feature, and it might even be easier on their eyes if they work in a low-light environment. Dark mode also offers an enhanced experience while watching videos on the service.
Finally, the redesign will also make it easier for users to create Facebook pages, groups, events, and announcements. Users can also preview a new Facebook Group that they are starting in real time and a preview of what the Group will look like on the Facebook mobile app before the Group is activated.
Several users have already tested Facebook’s updated design for a couple of weeks and some stated that the dark mode Facebook presents is not completely black. Instead, this model is made up of various shades of dark gray, which is ‘fine’ for some and not so good for others.
The new design Facebook released looks good in a narrow window, but spreading it across its 34-inch screen, it seemed odd. If your screen is larger than around 1,200 pixels, there will be plenty of space around the main content when using this new Facebook design.
Facebook’s previous design used to feature an additional column that looked better on larger screens. Also, the previous design featured sharper lines to separate tools on the page.
Similarly, some sections on pages do not work correctly, while others only show a dummy layout, for example in the Inbox section.
Ultimately, the tech giant will rank all of those sections and users will get used to the Facebook redesign, but it will take time. According to Facebook, the new changes it has introduced are a great new Facebook desktop foundation for decades to come.
A Facebook spokesperson informed the media that the company had started the launch on Friday, and the launch procedure will be gradual until everyone has the new design. Facebook users will get the latest design by default, and there will be no need to download any updates to get the new design. Still, Facebook is allowing users to use the old Facebook.com theme from the Settings menu. You can access the Settings menu from the Facebook home page and return to the previous appearance by clicking on the option that says “Switch to classic Facebook”, although the company will remove the previous design in a few months.
