Twitter management decides to change the design after users complained of headaches

The microblogging site Twitter is redesigning its recently launched design following headaches.

Last week, Twitter unveiled a new design with high contrast colours and a custom design font, Chirp. Unveiling the design, the Twitter administration said that at first glance, it may feel strange, but it will improve the use of content as well as make it look clearer. But the design did not receive the expected response from users, and users complained of headaches, calling it annoying, difficult to read and light painful.

Consumers say that it is too small and dense and you have to widen your eyes to read, which causes headaches. Another user said that he suffers from low vision and eye problems. An individual can’t read in this design.

A few days after the users’ complaints surfaced, the Twitter administration said in a tweet: Are changing so as not to put too much pressure on the eyes.

We’re making contrast changes on all buttons to make them easier on the eyes because you told us the new look is uncomfortable for people with sensory sensitivities. We’re listening and iterating.

The day after the tweet, Traitor said, “The cause of the eye discomfort is not the design but the newly introduced font Chirp, and we are working to resolve the issue.”
