The ongoing updates to modernize Revit’s UI, icons, and primary dialogs are a welcome step forward. However, the experience remains jarring when newly styled modern dialogs (like the updated duplicate/rename input box) open directly over legacy, unstyled parent windows (such as Type Properties).
Seeing two completely different design systems, border radiuses, button styles, and typography stacked on top of each other breaks visual coherence and makes the software feel unfinished.
What should be improved:
Consistent Dialog Styling: Complete the modernization pass so standard parent dialogs (Type Properties, Family Types, Material Browser, etc.) match the updated design language of their child modals.
Unified Component Library: Ensure basic elements like text inputs, action buttons (OK/Cancel), and window headers follow a single, cohesive design system across all standard workflows.
Finish the Migration: Rather than skinning individual popups incrementally, prioritize rolling out consistent theming across entire core dialog trees.
A unified look and feel will make the day-to-day workflow feel polished, modern, and cohesive throughout the application.
