Once again a new release of InDesign (v2017.1) focuses on the user interface. As frustrating as this may be to those users who are looking to be “wowed” by fancy new features, these changes are being made as our workflows continue to change—maintaining a consistent look and feel across multiple applications, using multiple types of devices, which is the core of the Create Cloud environment.

InDesign’s user interface is “flat, modern, and easy on the eyes,” and again brings more consistency with the UI of other Adobe apps. Every button, tool, and panel has been redesigned, and the interface now has four color options to choose from: Dark, Medium Dark, Medium Light, and Light. Adobe has changed the look of the interface again with the intent of delivering an “optimal user experience.”
