What's Wrong?

My Claude Windows Desktop app suddenly change the GUI to something extremely hard to read and with an incredibly stupid layout. I can't find the settings to revert the functionality. I need to remove the colors from the conversation, revert the plan mode modal and the big tabs in the middle. Please tell me where I can set the old skin in the settings, downgrade or inject custom CSS.

What Should Happen?

Settings to revert to old GUI.

TL;DR

The user needs to revert the GUI changes in the Claude Windows Desktop app to the old skin, possibly by downgrading or injecting custom CSS.

Guidance

  • Check the app's settings for any options related to theme, skin, or layout, as the issue might be resolved by simply switching to a different theme.
  • Look for any updates or documentation from the developers regarding the new GUI and potential options for customization or reverting to the old layout.
  • If downgrading is considered, find the previous version of the app that worked as expected and follow the developer's instructions for installing an older version, if available.
  • Consider reaching out to the developers or community support for guidance on injecting custom CSS, as this might require specific instructions or permissions.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more information on the app's customization capabilities or API.

Notes

The solution might depend on the specific capabilities of the Claude Windows Desktop app and its versioning system. Without more information on the app's settings or customization options, it's challenging to provide a precise fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user should try to find settings or options within the app to revert the GUI changes or seek guidance from the developers on how to customize the layout to their preference, as downgrading might not be a viable or recommended solution.
