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

Thank you! I had no idea there was this option in the settings. I previously had the linear view, as I'm currently investigating. And at some point it spontaneously switched to the tree view. I thought it was a forum update and didn't look further for this..

Hi,

I really like the new modern interface. I’m not sure if you are aware of a screen resizing issue on mobile devices where the title truncates and the buttons to upvote on wishes are overlaid and misaligned. 

 

[Noemi Balogh]

Good catch! I can't promise a fix this week (mostly because Claudius is offline 🙂 ), but once he's back, we'll definitely take a look at this! One more thing to confirm though: do you experience it with every page, or only with the Wishlist?

[Lee Hankins]

Hi Noemi,

The header text truncates on other pages but the upvote button is just limited to all the wishes pages.

I saw another small glitch in the mobile view:

By the way, I am not able to directly paste images in the posts. It´s happening in Chrome and Firefox.

[Noemi Balogh]

Thanks! Adding this one to our backlog too.

Hi @noem1 ,

would be great if comments to wishlist topics could be liked as well

[Lingwisyer]

You have tagged the wrong person.

[Noemi Balogh]

Hi @2D,

Unfortunately this is not possible within that area, as replies under wishes are comments, a special type of post that can't be liked individually.

Damn, that's too bad. It was also one of my suggestions that I made in this post Missing forum features for the Wishlist section. Maybe sometime in the future 🙂
