Updated Color Scheme is Terrible
complete
Colleen Nickerson
Prior to this update, my task boxes in my weekly calendar view were beautiful and vibrant colors - which really helped me to visually organized my tasks by each client and project. This recent update has made the task boxes lighter and it is MUCH harder to see and is absolutely awful for visual organization of tasks. A lot of people use colors to visaully organize things and this is just terrible. It would have been better if Hive provided more customization for the color scheme to be able to still be in light mode but have the vibrant colors for their projects. However, making this change and not allowing us to keep the old vibrant colors is just awful, visually. I may have to look for something else now because the color options with Hive were a big reason I chose this software.

Hive listened and fixed it, ya'll!! If you go to configure in your calendar view, go under Display and click "Use solid task colors". Problem solved! :) I am so thankful they changed this to have the option for the old colors back. It's one of the things I loved about this interface.

Colleen Nickerson 100% agree. Glad a fix is in the works. I really really wish Hive wouldn't change things without at least a review / focus group with users.

Hi Clare, thank you for the feedback. We will add in an option to get the vibrant colors back in. It should be live tomorrow. You will find it in the Configure panel under the "Display" section. Look for "Use solid task colors".

Wagner Maciel I just checked there now, but I don't see that option. There's only two under the Configure panel in the Display section for me.

Becky Yeager Hey! You're looking in the right place, but I think you might need to refresh Hive (⌘R). Should be the first checkbox

Wagner Maciel I'm afraid it's still not showing up.

Becky Yeager Are you in the calendar view for a project? I think you might be in a different view

Wagner Maciel Hmm. I'm in Status view for all of my projects.
Wagner Maciel
Becky Yeager Ah, I understand! This is specific to the Calendar View. There were no changes to the Status View. The Configure panel will have different display settings in the Calendar View. Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for sharing - looking at this with team now.

Agree. I'm so disappointed Hive would make this change without giving us warning in advance or explaining the decision. It is making it really hard for me to decipher between projects in my calendar view, which is just about the only view I use in Hive. Please revert it back. We chose those colors for a reason.

Bring back brighter colours as a theme option

The recent update has made the colours of projects less saturated. Please allow for an "old version" or a theme option for brighter colours.
