Change the UI style of ReadyAPi 4.0?
I just updated to 4.0, and the UI is horrendous. There's a lot of dead space. Is there a way to switch back to the previous UI without switching Ready API versions? UI from 3.66 UI from 4.0...

StaffHi, thanks for your honest feedback. We updated the ReadyAPI UI in response to customer requests for a more modern experience and to align with the updated SmartBear design system, which also gives us a stronger foundation for improving accessibility going forward.
We recognize that the 4.0 release introduces significant UI changes that may require an adjustment period for existing users, and that some areas may currently present usability issues or inconsistencies, including the ones reported here. We’ve documented the known issues and are actively addressing them.
A patch release is planned for next week to resolve the reported endpoint editing issue and additional UI concerns raised by customers.
In the meantime, ReadyAPI 3.67.0 remains fully compatible, so teams can continue working without disruption while we roll out fixes and improvements. Download installers from the ReadyAPI Downloads Center.
We appreciate the feedback and encourage you to continue sharing your experience — it’s helping us prioritize the updates that matter most.
thomas_hurley thanks for the reply, honest question, who thought of making the most useful screen with the most important data on screen smaller? And, what does your other customer and smartbear think "modern experience is"? This feels more like an ascii based experience, I mean, look at this horrible design, it's just "v", ">" and "|" put together, if you were using a "└" to expand the objects, it would be less ugly
This change just made the useless things bigger and the important ones smaller.Thanks thomas_hurley .. useful to see the known issue page and SmartBear's plan to resolve some of the more 'abrasive' changes ..
