PhpStorm 2024.3: "Old UI" not available anymore?
Hi all,
I recently upgraded from 2024. something (I think 2024.2 or so) where I could still enable the old UI, to the latest 2024.3 and it seems the new UI was re-forced to me again.
How to deactivate it?
I'm satisfied with the old UI. I'm a tech expert and developer, I do not need fancy shiny UIs where every function is hidden behind a neat-looking UI in burried menues. I want to be fast, efficient and therefore re-enable the old UI.
How to do it? Or do I need to switch to a different product now!?
Thanks!

Hi Bjoern Fw ,
The new UI became the default one in 2024.2. Please see these two blog posts for details:
If adjusting the new UI in accordance with your needs doesn't work for you for some reason, consider installing the Classic UI plugin in Settings | Plugins: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/24468-classic-ui. Please note that it has some limitations.
Interesting, that maybe with PHPStorem 2024.2.5 which I used before, motsly probably I had the Classic UI plugin installed and maybe it got lost when upgrading to 2024.3.
Anyhow, I downgraded now to 2024.2.5 again and everything works as I want it to.
Let's see how long this version suffices. Hardly any dev wants the new UI, funny it's forced to us. This is something for managers, not for devs.
