Open Dental Forum

For years, everyone has complained that Open Dental looks outdated. The main reason for this complaint is the gray background that is used throughout. I finally broke down and decided that white would be a better background color. This has a domino effect, of course, so there are lots of other things that need to be changed to blend well. But maybe we can lose some of the "old fashioned" stigma now. It will be in version 21.3, which will come out as beta in a few months. I am, of course, considering how to do themes and custom colors as I go, but I suspect that will not be part of the change.

Can you keep a default color tab/option to keep the gray color of some offices may have a problem and dont want to switch

It's just a move from gray240 to 255. The difference isn't as striking as I was hoping. White isn't really as white as I thought. It's not like it could possibly cause bugs or anything.
