Revit 2024 Light Interface is a step backward from 2023 in Accessibility (readability) IMO.

• Scroll bars are hard to see (medium gray on slightly lighter gray). They only get darker when you select them but work whether or not you're right on them.
• Text is gray on lighter gray in palettes, even when the option isn't locked.  Locked text is even harder to read being only slightly darker than background.
• Fill-in boxes on the option bar are the same color as the option bar, making it difficult to tell whether it is editable.
• Other ribbon items are too simplifed or too light. Some things that were black and white are now in color. Other things that had a light blue background when selected are medium gray obscuring the foreground elements, like the pick lines button.
• Everything is flat looking. Losing the drop shadows on some buttons didn't improve their look.

Dark theme is generally more readable but fails with hover color of most of the buttons. Going from darker gray background to slightly darker is almost imperceptible.

You should post your complaints over in the IDEAS forum. The posts here do nothing to help get new features implemented.

@ahensley76YSD,

The idea has already been out there for a while:

There might even be more with different titles.

The Revit 2024 Light Interface appears to be a step backward in terms of accessibility and readability compared to the 2023 version. While the intention behind the interface update might have been to create a more streamlined and modern look, it seems to have compromised on the clarity and ease of use that users valued in the previous version . Elements such as contrast, font size, and iconography may not be as easily distinguishable, which could make it more challenging for users, particularly those with visual impairments, to navigate the software effectively. As a result, what might have been intended as a visual upgrade could actually hinder productivity and user experience, highlighting the importance of balancing design aesthetics with practical usability in software development.

it's been an absolute frustration for 1.5 years now, even in 2025.1 this still hasn't been addressed....

Why don't you try the IDEAS forum. I'm sure it's been requested already so you can vote it up.

Agree. I'm only 31 but I'm struggling to read my project browser.
