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

What width screen were you viewing this on, was it on a mobile device?

On my laptop and monitor it is fine, unless I really reduce the width of my browser.

On the profile page the user information takes up most of my phone’s screen. Might be an idea to reduce the header size to show only user name and picture when the page scrolls…

Non-maximised window around 1100 pixels wide. The issue is that the transition point for the Suggested Topics block occurs after the main carousel is too narrow to contain the absolute width buttons.

Very minor issue as I feel like that navigation block probably does not get used much, and the issue is only for a few hundred pixels... It is probably related to all the other UI resizing issues in the last few replies.
