Here, on macOS with the latest Evernote v10.77.3, I still have to click twice: After initially clicking on the green New button it unfolds and shows a purple Task button. I then have to click again on the green button.

On my Mac, the window opens always in the size and format that I left it last time before quitting the app. But I agree with you – what you're experiencing should not happen.

Here's how this looks on my Mac (old OS - High Sierra):

Local version vs. web-version – see the differences: Thickness of separator Space between headline and first line of body text Font

I'm on macOS 10.13.6 – here's my desktop – the complete application window is enlarged horizontally. The other screenshot shows a single note window.

I compared your screenshot with the situation on my Mac (High Sierra) and I do not have any space between the note info and the upper edge – on your screenshot marked as 1. Perhaps something was updated in the meantime (your post was February 2, mine here is on February 20). Or it's a Windows thing?

Not sure whether this is part of any table bug but when I add a PDF the representation of the inserted file stretches across the note width. Looks like a kid trying to learn to build a website with Netscape in 1999. As you can see, at least the attached photo doesn't blow up. Below you see also the awesome implementation in Apple Notes. Sadly, I didn't have a screenshot from the previous Evernote design which was similar in the sense that an inserted PDF did NOT stretch all the way across. EVERNOTE APPLE NOTES

I agree. But there's also a part where I feel there should be *more* space:

Is it just me? On my Mac, the far left pane with the notebooks and the pane in the middle below the notes have a slightly different colored gray. The gray in the middle pane appears slightly warmer (values in Hex RGBA): Left: 0xF0F0F0FF Middle: 0xF6F5EFFF Ideally, you'd have a dark gray pane at the left a medium gray pane in the middle, and then your note would be on white on the right. So the Evernote designer tries to "distinguish" the far left pane and the middle pane by a mere subtlety. Frankly, it looks like a mistake. It looks weird.

Yay, Green is the new Black 🍀 Lucky us. What was declared to be "intrusive" before is now replaced by a truly incredible Hulk in action. Meet the new horizontal blotch Lego – you'll never forget what "plus" actually stands for. What they mean by "enhancing focus" is that some users could not find a way to create a new note and those visually impaired folks need ... assistance. Google's and Slack's UX designers learned a lot about those buttons – why not Evernote?

It seems to be a Mac thing and perhaps also because I'm on an older version. I never have font issues with the zillion other apps/browsers that I'm using.

Thank you, Dave, great analysis. And thanks for the tips in this thread about logging out and back in – did NOT work. I was going to cancel my subscription but sadly there's nothing much out there that offers easy image editing and offline operations. I'm a professional designer who has to justify every element of my work. And believe me – design is all about communication. Even in Fashion, there are rules ... but to break rules in Fashion is fun and refreshing. The same goes for website design. Yes, we want to be entertained. But with Evernote – the name already has something rather conservative in it – I expect to have a device that works. For my eyes. Not against them. Francesco Patarnello, the CEO of Evernote may confuse this note-taking device with Milan Fashion Week. Hire a new designer for every new season and change the look every year like as if it's an iPod Mini. Next up, a green sidebar? I'm afraid of things to come.

In the new design, the "Normal" font is not as easy to read as previously. See screenshots of my notes below. New (Sans Serif) – see the jumping "O" letters in the word "PHOTOS" which is not as easy to read: Old (Source Sans Pro) – everything is much easier to read:

I just went to my WordPress admin panel – imagine if the left pane would be white (imagine the outcry). Another great example of a stellar redesign that's "built for focus" is the updated Slack interface:

I absolutely hate this glaring bright stuff all over the place. A knowledgeable designer would actually help a user focus on their work and not highlight (pun intended) all features and elements of the app. Yes, I can collapse the side bar with a proprietary button at the bottom (all other apps and websites have this "show/hide" option at the top left), and yes, I can make my window smaller but give me a break and let me focus on my work. Evernote mentions "visually intrusive elements like a dark sidebar" however in reality it is bright stuff that is "intrusive". Dark space goes out of the way. A bright space asks for my eyes to look at it.
