This is for the Windows version.

I'm "update averse", as nearly all software updates these days break software or degrade usability for the sake of changes, so I was scared to apply the update, seeing that Enpass was redesigned. I fully expected a disaster. I have to admit though, that I was not a complete disaster as this new Enpass improved the looks and the functionality without breaking too much.

Well, for the most part...

The main content screen is mostly nice, definitely an improvement over the old one, it's cleaner, looks better and I like the new dark mode, the old one was black, like the early Windows 10 dark mode. I like the addition of standard menus in the upper left too.

But, it's not all that good, I see few annoying issues.

I don't like that the notes field is now an eye scorching bright yellow and that it's folded by default. Can you please consider adding an option to make notes the same color as the window, the way it used to be, and not fold/hide it by default? I use notes a lot and it's now very uncomfortable to look at them when working in dark mode in a dimly lit room. It literally lights up the room when unfolded. And you missed the opportunity to make the notes field re-sizable in edit mode which would be more of an improvement than the painfully bright, yellow color. There is no need to associate "notes" with "yellow" any more, even Post-it started offering blue, white and gray stickies over a decade ago.

The new icons are also too bright, too colorful, this is unnecessary decoration that adds nothing but visual noise. Can we please have the option to go back to the old gray glyphs or hide them altogether as they are nearly as painful as the yellow notes?

Same for item icons, you increased the saturation. I use website icons whenever possible and the default icons do stick out.

I'm not too crazy about the new settings either. It looks and works too much like the dreaded Windows 11 Settings App, but I suppose I can get used to it. There is too much empty space and display density is low like on mobile devices. Now everything is too big and there is more scrolling required to access settings while the window can't be enlarged. This is a regression in usability. And for what? For the dozen of people who use Windows on mobile devices?

Overall, pretty decent update except for the few jarring color choices. Please consider adding options to address those annoyances. Thank you.

Thank you for the update. The Notes fields stay expanded now, once expanded. They're still hidden after app relaunch though.

I still hope you'll add an option to change the notes color back to the way it was before: the same as the rest of the window. This bright yellow really is overdone and serves no purpose.

Thank you.

We would like to inform you that this issue has been fixed in the latest Enpass update (version 6.12.2). Please update your Enpass app to the latest version and verify whether the issue has been resolved on your device.

Hi, thanks! yes, like I said in the previous post, it's been partially fixed in 6.12.2: "The Notes fields stay expanded now, once expanded. They're still hidden after app relaunch though."

Also, I'd like a QoL feature to disable the bright yellow color for the notes, it really is unnecessary, make it the same color as the rest of the window, the way it used to be. These are not "sticky notes", there is no reason for the notes field to be bright yellow.

Both of the above are regressions of usability, it was fine before, there was no need to change these. Please consider fixing this also, thank you!
