Since the June 19, 2025 update, I’ve experienced several interface issues that are making the platform harder to use. I’m using the web version of Adobe Express on a MacBook running macOS Sonoma 14.5.
Illegible Font Preview: When choosing a font, the text preview inside the font selection pop-up becomes hard to read. This happens consistently when clicking the “Text” tool and selecting a font, the overlapping layout and low contrast make it difficult to see what you’re choosing.
Faint Sidebar Icons: The left-hand sidebar (with icons like Templates, Media, Elements) has very low contrast. On my screen, the icons are hard to distinguish against the grey background. This impacts navigation speed and usability.
Bulky black toolbar buttons: The new black button row at the top of the canvas (Resize, Theme, Quick Replace, etc.) feels visually heavy and takes up too much space. It’s distracting when designing, especially on smaller laptop screens.
The expected result is a clean, readable, and focused design workspace. The actual result is a cluttered and difficult-to-navigate UI that slows down my workflow. I would appreciate it if Adobe could consider options to improve font legibility, increase sidebar icon contrast, and allow users to hide or minimize the top button bar. Please feel free to contact me for more feedback. Thank you!
