Bridge 2019 interface

I hear ya.  I prefer my Bridge workspace to be completely black...with NO gray box around each folder and image.  Not sure why Adobe decided to keep me from my consistent black interface that I previously used. 
WHY EVEN CHANGE THAT OPTION?  IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.  We professionals are pretty finicky.  Adobe should know that.

This also drives me nuts! I still use the 2018 version because of the style change.

2018 has no wasted space and is nice and slim. I like having the large preview along with the color key and file name fitting under the thumbnail.

2019 is just incredibly bulky. Every tab and column are double the thickness, all icons are almost doubled in size, the star and label system looks like we are making selections with the worlds largest magic marker......

In this day and age, I do not know why Adobe does not allow us to customize this entire app, text size, complete layout, and style....

Please revert back to the slim style of 2018. I find it impossible to use. I lost 1/2 of the space on my screen from this "Upgrade".

Just worthless.......

I had Bridge 2018 and after reading about some of the changes to Bridge 2019 I resisted upgrading. Unfortunately due to a hard drive failure I was then forced to take the abomination that is 2019 version.

Please Adobe, listen to what your users are saying and PLEASE stop 'improving' just because you can.

In 2018 I could select a text highlight colour to red or blue which made things a lot easier to see. Now it's grey on grey.

Labels are too small and not easily visible.

Padded area around the thumbnails - what purposes does it serve. None. so take it away. It's not needed nor wanted and reduces the amount of info we can have on screen.

Where has the select all or 'Do I want to select all images?' disappeared to. I wanted to move over 100 images from one folder to another. In the 2018 version I had the option to 'select all' or 'Do I want to do this to all images'. Now I have to confirm each image transfer individually. Like we've got nothing better to do with our time.

Going back to Bridge 2018. Way too much wasted space on this new interface. I do a lot of processing on a laptop and don't have the screen area to spare. New UI makes main preview too small and when I make thumbs smaller (I use filmstrip along bottom always) the extra space given to that tab means I can't see filename and full preview image once I have a reasonably sized main preview. And the color dots are useless. Bad move Adobe.

I agree. The 2019 interface is more cluttered and less visually efficient than prior versions. I would bet that the designers are not daily heavy users of the application. Please scrap it and return to 2018's design, without further delay if possible.

I have been going crazy trying to find where to do a batch action from Bridge.  It used to be under Tools/Photoshop/Batch

I use this EVERY DAY... It can't have completely disappeared, can it?

Normally I don't complain and say to myself 'just get over it' but this interface is driving me crazy.

Why the borders/padding around the thumbnails. I am a photographer and I don't want to have this frame around each picture, it is so cluttering and it serves no purpose! Please give us the possibility to uncheck a checkbox or something.

Even better would be to be able to check a checkbox that says discard all interface changes and go back to what it was before. It was a great interface, why change it. And - oh yes- the selection bars that are now off centered dots. What on earth where you thinking? I have to label hundreds of photographs and now I have such difficulty checking the labels. Please bring back the label bar PLEASE.

Hope Adobe folks are considering this for the next update.

The new user interface is making my  eyes hurt. All those outlines around thumbnails are exhausting, please return the background to one color!

Agreeeeed.  Wow I hate Bridge now.  I hope some of the concerns listed in this thread are addressed.  Because right now the program is just making me sad and I'm going out of my way not to use it.

I only just noticed the changes that were made to the Bridge interface and totally agree with the original post. Many photographers I know (including myself) use Bridge as a quick way to view a selection of JPEGs on a white backdrop. This is now impossible because of the grey border around the thumbnail. Please give us back the flexibility of the old Bridge interface, it was a fantastic feature.
