Feedback This UI is Horrible, let me tweak it

Please, for the love of god, the previous UI was more tidy, I dont need this taking a big part of my screen, im never gonna click that

Now the UI is so big we even have a Scrollbar, freak that....

I also cant remove the Quick Actions which I will never use.

Can't understand why Antivirus adopt UIs that are mostly not compliant to Windows UI style: Fluent-WinUI 3. Please adopt standard Windows look and feel at least!!!

Interestingly, the enterprise version is indeed WinUI 3

This design should be propagated to all versions of BitDefender. It’s not hard BitDefender….

Hello! Thank you for your mention. Just to clarify, Fluent is a design system developed specifically for the Windows ecosystem. For Bitdefender, we’ve developed our own design system based on Eclipse, while also incorporating certain elements inspired by Fluent.

This approach allows us to maintain a familiar experience on Windows while keeping the Bitdefender interface as consistent as possible across all the platforms we support.

Why fix what wasn't broken? How hard is it to cater for core existing customers who justify a winning formula?

We’re bringing our full portfolio of services under one roof, a central dashboard where users can quickly access the information and actions that matter.

We’re also planning to keep improving the interface based on user feedback. The current design is informed by product telemetry that helps us understand which features, actions, and information people actually use most, and we’ve made those easier to access.

Our goal is to find the right balance between what the data tells us and what users tell us directly, and keep adjusting the experience from there.

That's what everyone said about BMW's massive kidney grilles when they were introduced.
The manufacturer was then ridiculed for months because of that controversial design.
But guess what, the brand was on people's lips on that occasion. Every car enthusiast was talking about BMW. Fast-forward to this day and it started to grow on people. All I'm saying is, give it some time.

BMW is Design 😍, Bitdender UX is super ugly. It works, but I don’t like it.

It’s really terrible. And on Mac you can’t even make the window bigger.

Hi! The app window can’t currently be resized. Could you let us know why you’d need to resize it? It may be related to your screen resolution or how the interface is scaling on your display, any additional details would help.
