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

It does appear quite large on a standard resolution monitor.

I have 2 x 24" monitors side by side.

One has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and it looks quite large on that screen.

When I drag it to the other screen (2560 x 1440) it looks much better.

You can scale your browser window which helps - scroll wheel on muse + CTRL key.

As for reading unread posts, I have a browser bookmark I use - https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/forums/unreadpostspage/tab/message/page/1

This will show you all unread post in the entire community.

But it will list the most recent ones first.

Sorry, I meant how to get a "view all unread messages" option, as Barry has deduced.

I think there should be a read all unred messages button, like in "every" forum.

[Jp1138]

Thanks, I think I had that bookmark too, but, shouldn´t just be an option like in most forums?

I like the new retro look!... Very in line with the software it represents

I’m getting different reactions when pressing my profile photo icon, all fields indicate grey background when I select (My profile, My settings,….) except (Notifications & Messages).

I think it’s looking really great @Noemi Balogh.

The only visual glitch I have noticed is the like count is wrapping incorrectly on the first post on iOS. I’m on an iPhone 14 Pro. 

Edit:  sorry found another one, on the My Profile page. The top banner doesn’t shrink or scroll away, so you only get a very small section at the bottom of the screen to view the content of the page.

Mostly looking nice on my iPad, but the post subjects are in such a huge bold font that it is a bit like shouting.  Can it perhaps be even a little smaller like the subject lines of the Graphisoft Insights tiles at the top of the page (or even smaller)?

[Lingwisyer]

Smaller, and remove the Bold when read.

Hyperlinks now have a different, fixed, font?

Edit:

It would appear that italicised text uses a different font than the one selected, which is different again to hyperlinks. eg. Survey Point
