Boot17

Plus this looks terrible on mobile. It worked so awesome before -- looked good on Desktop and Web with a wider screen then wrapped nicely on mobile.

The way tables are implemented right now leaves you a huge white space at the bottom or the top of the cell when there is just an image in there unless you use this workaround: And then you are still left with the padding in each table cell, which is now a lot wider due to the new UI revamp.

Yep - easily done. I also did it quite often. When 10.76.2 first came out, I commented on it and knew it was going to cause issues for many users: "This new feature was added at the expense of being able to have multiple images side by side (sans a table). So images that were once side by side will now appear vertically stacked. I'm sure it will break other people's notes as well." We are going to see a lot more complaints coming in the forums because of it.

They are doing a gradual rollout of the new UI on an account basis -- a server side switch for it. I thought it would have been rolled out to everyone by now, but possibly not -- so you are just one of the few percentage remaining would be my guess.

There is a tinier bit better contrast in dark mode (I'm assuming you are in light mode on Desktop or Web), but that changes everything. I agree that it is harder to discern which notes are selected with the new UI update. The lack of contrast has been a consistent theme with the new UI change. Evernote blog is here: https://evernote.com/blog/new-ui-2024 There is a long thread here about it: You can take a survey and give feedback with regards to the new UI here: https://waz9zvkd1f2.typeform.com/newuifeedback.

@toems I agree. I like being able to center images with the new change, but wish they would have implemented that functionality without making it work like it does now -- which is worse for me as well.

I've seen a few requests for being able to center images on the page like we could with Legacy, and now with 10.76.2 that is possible. https://evernote.com/release-notes/10.76.2 - Improvements: Added alignment options for images within a note However, this new feature was added at the expense of being able to have multiple images side by side (sans a table). So images that were once side by side will now appear vertically stacked. I'm sure it will break other people's notes as well. (Edit: With 10.77.3, the side by side feature was restored and the wonky rectangle selection was fixed!) We can add images to a table to allow them to be placed side by side which will serve as a workaround with table borders (and an extra row of white space). It's kind of weird how the window selection rectangle spans the whole page: To resize, you must grab the corner, then with the mouse button down move the mouse cursor back over by the image and resize. When you first start to move the mouse after grabbing the corner, the window selection rectangle will jump to then only surround the image itself and then the rectangle will jump back to span the whole page once you release the mouse button.

The title is appearing now at the top of the note, in the "breadcrumb" area of the note with the latest 10.76.2 release. Main View Desktop Mac: New Window View Desktop Mac: This change is with this improvement in the 10.76.2 release: the breadcrumbs now also include the title of a note https://evernote.com/release-notes/10.76.2

In case you haven't already seen, Bending Spoons is revamping the UI. They first started with Desktop and Web and will presumably make their way to mobile. I'm personally not a big fan of it. See here for the announcement about it: https://evernote.com/blog/new-ui-2024 Also here for one of the discussion threads on it: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/149750-new-ui-experiences-bad-and-good/ To answer your question -- there is no way to set the checkbox colour. You'd have to downgrade a fair bit before version 10.76.2. I think the new UI functionality is out as of 10.72 (or thereabouts), but it was only enabled for certain accounts back at that time.

@Peter Sadowski It looks like your Note Width setting was probably reset to "Optimize readability". You can change it back to "Fit to window" in the preferences:

You aren't running the new UI "revamp" for v10 though -- you are still on the "old" UI for v10. The new UI revamp isn't rolled out to everyone yet. There is a server-side switch per account for it. See here for the difference in style: https://evernote.com/blog/new-ui-2024 Also here for a four page discussion thread on it: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/149750-new-ui-experiences-bad-and-good/

Lol - dude - coming from the Windows guy that has been more vocal and critical about the UI revamp than me... I mean -- I'd wager... 😃 Plus, I consider myself ambidextrous cross-platform-dextrous as I love and use both MacOS and Windows - they are both awesome -- so I am so greatly offended (/joking) at being labeled just a Mac person.

No. I've been following the new UI changes closer than most. This is definitely something specific to the new UI revamp. Yeah - exactly. Someone named Bending Spoons. 🤣 Perhaps it's just an oversight and one to be rectified by feedback: 'hey - this is missing' - "oh really? Someone uses that. Ok - let's put it back I guess.". Who knows? The way the new design is on the Mac though, you can clearly see that there really is no title bar in the Main window any more. It has been relegated to live only in the side bar. With the current state of the UI revamp it would be easy to just add it back to the notes in their own window though since there is still a title bar there -- that is probably an oversight. But the way they've designed the new main window now doesn't lend itself as easily... it will be interesting to see what they do there, if anything.

Here is more detail -- hope this helps. Here is a screenshot of before the UI revamp in Version 10 -- so this screenshot was taken a month ago: "Your Competition Isn't Other People" Note in Main Window: "Treadmill Time" Note in it's own "new" Window: In Mac Desktop v10, prior to the UI revamp, you could always see the title of the note in the title bar as shown above -- whether the note was in the main window or if it was in a new window. Of course, the editable portion of the title in the note would scroll off the screen when you scrolled down in the note (unlike in Legacy where the editable part of the note title was always visible), but the note title was always visible in the title bar -- as I believe is the case with the title of the note always showing in the menu bar on Windows. Note that unlike Windows, on MacOS the menu bar is always fixed to the very top of the screen -- it's not attached to each individual window. The menu bar will change to match whatever application is active. (That's why the top of the window on Mac is not called the Menu Bar as it is in Windows.) However, like Windows, on Mac you'll often still have a bar at the top of each window that contains close, minimize, and full screen buttons -- these are the red, yellow, and green buttons. This bar is often referred to as the title bar. This is the bar that you use to drag the window around the Desktop (just like on Windows). It will typically have the title of whatever you are working in as well -- like here is an example from a different application. In Evernote v10, prior to the UI revamp from a few weeks ago, the title of the note would display in that title area as shown in the screenshots above. If you scrolled down in the note, you could still see the title of the note there in the title bar. Now, with the UI revamp (at least in MacOS Desktop), if you scroll down in the note, the title of the note will scroll off the page (as it did before in v10), but since the note title no longer appears in the title bar, you can't discern which note you are looking at. Here is my "Treadmill Tiime" note in the main window. I've scrolled down a ways in the note: Note that there is no indication of which note I am in. Here is that same "Treadmill Time" note opened in its own window: Again -- no indication of which note I am in. So we see that the UI Revamp has made it harder to discern which note we are in. Thus, the question: Was this by design (with side effect of making things less discernible) or is it just an oversight and mistake?

Yeah - you'd think -- and they could put the title in the note that's popped out in it's own window though since the title bar is still there. However, where would they put it in the main window? The title bar is gone altogether now and that looks like it was done by design. Maybe they put it after the notebook and hidden move button...? Hopefully an oversight, since the title doesn't stay fixed at the top of the note like it did in Legacy -- so once you start scrolling the note, there is no title to be seen now on the Mac Desktop app.

Yes - sorry - I missed the the first line of your reply and just updated my earlier comment.

I reported about the title no longer being there on Mac Desktop (direct download) with the new UI on Feb 2 here: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/149750-new-ui-experiences-bad-and-good/?do=findComment&comment=717999 And it's still that way for me on 10.75.2 today on Mac direct download with the new UI: No titles in the main window [title bar] either. (Edit 2024-02-13 15:16 UTC: The title bar has been relegated to the side bar, there isn't room for the note title to be displayed there now.) And in the gray area when the note editor portion is expanded:

Maybe try exporting all your notes from your desktop client. Worked in my case:

@Paul A. My four notebooks are: Personal Personal Blob Work Work Blob The 'Blob' notebooks just contain any notes that are greater than roughly 5 to 10 MB as I don't want those taking up a large amount of space on my mobile devices. If there was one I wanted to be offline regardless of size, I'd just move it to the corresponding non-blob notebook. It just makes it easier to manage what is available offline on my mobile. Tags for me double as "notebooks" (subject or project name for example) and as things that people think of traditionally with tags like WIP.

Just a follow up to this. I did an export recently of all my notebooks -- it took longer than expected and so I suspected that perhaps it was downloading a lot of content that wasn't yet downloaded so that it could then export them. (Edit: perhaps they were already downloaded and the export is just really slow -- maybe some meta data was broken in them or something and they were showing offline and the export cleared it...? who knows) A few days later, I turned my internet connection off and pulled up 20+ old notes in offline mode and all of them came up just fine -- no "Note unavailable" error message. So now my answer to this part... ...of the question is: Try exporting them one notebook at a time using the Evernote app itself (don't use a 3rd party tool) to force Evernote to actually download all of them that aren't yet downloaded. Easier for me as a tags-guy than a notebooks-guy since I only have four notebooks. (Also - side note: pretty cool that I could use the web app while the Desktop app was busy exporting.)

I just wanted to say that I find the input from @janndk to be very helpful to the health of Evernote. Bending Spoons is doing a good job and Evernote is a great product, but neither is beyond reproach. IMO, Evernote and Bending Spoons need critical feedback as well as positive feedback. (Also -- IMO, Bending Spoons has done pretty well to not criticize the previous team beyond saying they have inherited a lot of technical debt, which no doubt I think is true.)

The "It substitutes the note title for the link address" part has to be done a bit manually for internal note links to work (AFAIK), but they will definitely work. When you first copy the internal note link from Mac Desktop Evernote and paste it into Obsidian, it will look just look something like this: You'll have to surround that URL scheme with parenthesis and then add the note title yourself at the beginning with brackets like this: Then your link will work and take you from Obsidian directly to your note in Evernote. It will look like this in Read mode in Obsidian: (On the iPad, it knows to open the app vs the web browser even though it's an Evernote web URL and not local app URL scheme. On the Mac it will take you to the web address every time because it's an https:// URL and not an evernote:// URL.)

I think it's been like this in v10 since the beginning -- if not -- then at least for a very long time. I keep a note open in a new window all the time docked to the right side of my monitor that I use as quick notes + shortcuts so I'm always clicking on note links from that window to open the note in the main window and have been doing this for quite some time. I actually find it more useful that way. If I don't want to open the link note in the main window then I open the linked note in another new window instead.

Just a couple of things to think about for sake of discussion. https://evernote.com/privacy/policy Has there ever been a documented instance where Evernote has claimed copyright of anyone's data? Also, it would be hard to claim copyright over something you don't even know exists (per the privacy policy). Just two cents.

This is my same experience on both Mac and Windows. Clicking a link to another note will take the "main" window note editor to that note. It doesn't always work on the first try (this used to work, but this bug started happening to me within the last year I believe) and is slower than legacy. In v10, there are no multiple tabs like we had with Legacy on Mac (Windows never had them). You can open a note from a link into it's own window in a few different ways though, but that's the best we can get on Desktop Evernote. The note in its own window is just the note itself and not another instance entirely of the whole Evernote user interface. If you use Evernote in a browser, you can open up multiple browser tabs and load Evernote -- not quite as good as what we had on Mac Legacy though.
