So glad you posted this! Today this update appeared, and it took me back to when I was 4 years old and my piano teacher taught me to read music by assigning each note of the scale its own color and coloring the sheet music. Very useful at the time. 1956.
Of course I can read now, have been for some time now, so I don’t need or want pre-school level visual aids.
One thing I’ve never liked about Apple is the insistence on incorporating way too many icons, pictures, etc.. rather than words—even to users who may be more verbal than visual. Which would be me.
I wish Apple could use its mighty artificial intelligence capability to create a toggle where a user might declare which approach is preferable. Even my humble Kindle has a simple toggle between list view and the graphics view.
Do you guys at Apple not understand the impact on the brain of suddenly dropping big blobs of bright colors with an icon to boot onto a nice clean elegant black and white display? Maybe keep the crayons in the box unless they’re wanted?
Another evening lost to getting rid of a change I never wanted.
Glad there’s a fix.
My suggestion is Apple could set a goal of making a functional writing program for serious writers who are working with text and not colored pencils. As in, make a list of the functions every book writer wants to have right at hand when starting a document. Set the font, font size, the margins, the line spacing and make it a template so the writer can start writing.
Push the more complex setting to second tier menu.
Pages is so bad that even famous authors resort to writing chapters as emails when they’re away from home and using IOS.
Maybe work on that and stop messing up my email which I am not complaining about. Except make it so I can save the draft as I write instead of forcing me to close the draft when I save. Fix that please.
Night all.
