Many products are getting worse instead of better; the only solution is to stop all updates and save the working versions.
After PreSonus Studio 7, there's nothing new. PreSonus 7 was the pinnacle, the pinnacle!

 

it still is.. i dont need more now. im going to continue using version 7. .. version 8 is not my thing. but i have the right to tell my opinion free speech..

 

@Kate Middleton, I and others will continue to fight for fundamental democratic rights, such as freedom of speech and freedom of thought. You have my full support!

But you didn't, a post earlier said you hope they lose sales. Totally unnecessary, it is fine to not like something. Wishing ill in people is a bad thing no matter who they are.

It was a very dark grey or minimal bluish-dark grey screen (Studio One version 4), depending on version, that scanned the same and logged in It just looked a little different, and if you are a pro expert you would not be saying half of the things you have been in so many posts and you can change the colors which no surprise, you said nothing. So answer the question are you using a purchased version? If you are a pro expert tell everyone about how the new features suck too and exactly what sucks. If you are a pro you'll have the purchased version. If you are a pro Studio One user who doesn't, the Pro's I have worked alongside with for decades would have said something like: "I have not tried the retail version but I do not like...and is it the same in the full retail version?"
Nobody begrudges your right to free speech, but anyone who knows the product well isn't going to allow inaccurate information which has been said more than once. It is called disinformation.
I reinstalled both to defaults without my changed color and config settings - I did save them for after though, to so I do not have to reconfigure.

UMMM - they're actually the same size too. So both are "big ugly screens" if that is the negative path you continue to take Middleton. You did say it had a big ugly blue screen and hoped they lose lots of sales even if the post is not on this page. I am not the only one who saw it.
Identical startup menu also with one exception - Studio One now = Studio Pro
Clearly visible in the screenshots.

- Studio One 7 set back to defaults


Studio Pro set to defaults. - Ugliness is a perspective beauty has always been in the eye of the beholder and if semantics are necessary with colors, it is a blue and black gradient, or blue and very dark grey gradient.
