Graphisoft Community is getting a fresh look!

[Noemi Balogh]

Dear Community Members,

We are happy to announce that we reached the first milestone of our Community site getting an updated look. Allow us to introduce you to this project and what you can expect from it.

Why do we update the look?

In 2025, Graphisoft started rolling out its new branding, which includes new colors, fonts and  updated look that better aligns with the brand message. Part of this update we not only update graphisoft.com, but other Graphisoft websites as well, including Graphisoft Community.

What changed?

Let us collect here all the changes we included this time, apart from the new colors and fonts.

New page headings

We updated the heading of our pages, so that they can help you navigate even easier while taking less space than before. We introduced coloring by categories, e.g. every page under the Forum is colored teal while all pages under Building Together are colored blue. They also became sticky, which means that when you scroll on a page, the header section is still visible, just reduced in size. This way you can easily track on which page you’re currently.

Before

After

We also moved the important buttons, such as “Subscribe” and “Create a topic” into the header, so it is easy to spot them and they have a consistent place on the pages.

Revamped page layouts

We took the chance and reviewed the most visited page types on the site and improved them to offer a cleaner look for you.

Compact mode is discontinued

With the new design we remove the option for the compact mode.

What is not changing

Functionality of Community is staying the same. All your profile related settings (except compact mode) will be kept as they were.

Found something wrong? Let us know!

Considering the size and complexity of the Community, we expect that there will be things that might not look good after our first release. We are committed to fix things and looking for your feedback!

Leave a reply on this topic with a screenshot or a screen recording and a short explanation of what should be improved.

Kind regards,

Noémi

Hi Noemi,

I noticed that user signatures in replies are cropped after the first line break. You can only see full signature content only after clicking or hovering the cursor but you don't intuitively know something is "hidden".

Hi Cosmin,

Yes, this is by design to save some vertical space between posts. Do you find it troublesome?

[Laszlo Nagy]

@CosminF 

This is how it worked for quite a while now, I would says, at least 1 or 2 years.

If you have a multi-row singature, it is recommended to place the most important parts of it into the first row, that way, they will always be visible.

Hi Noemi, 

No i do not find it troublesome at all, it is just that it was different than before and I initially thought I lost the second line of it. It is not really intuitive that there is something more other than the first line.

Hi Lazlo, good to know, up until now I was able to see everything at once (maybe it was from my browser settings?) -

Maybe your recommendation is good to be placed here as well as I saw this is the go-to post that gets sent to new users when advised to create a signature: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Our-Community/Help-Those-Help-You-Add-a-Signature/ta-p/378014

Hi @Noemi Balogh 

All changes take some time to get used to but, if there’s one thing I really miss, it’s the ability to filter answered posts or with a solution already. I think that's the only way to make sure they don't get lost or fall into oblivion because of the new ones.

Hi Ricardo,

Thanks for your feedback! We're definitely looking into our options and see what we can deliver.

Only don’t know what you mean with the cancelled compact mode.

And I guess the personal photo should be maximized in relation to the name beside to be clearer, thanks.
