There’s an option to turn the update check on and off. Before it was on by default and now it’s off by default. That would only affect someone who newly installs the app.

Hi, has the toolbar below the top menu been intentionally removed? If so, is there an option to re-enable?

I like the look and feel of the new version. I've noticed it "pausing" though on my machine. When it pauses, it's using 125% of my CPU--looks funny, but I'm guessing they're saying it's using 1 and 1/4 cores. I'm on macOS Catalina 10.15.7

Oh, just updated this morning to 1.2.6. Really like the few changes in UI, looks more modern. Thanks to have changed the background color (grey) in notebook list view. Like too the new settings UI. Good job.

Hello, new UI looks much more modern, I agree, but PLEASE put SEARCH back!
Now when search is located on top of note list, there is plenty of unused empty space overt note, but even one longer word does not fit, and it's very inconvenient to search for more.
May be not even length of search box matters, but it's location. Long history already of putting search boxes on top right, and now it makes my mind crazy not locating it at first glance. I would say UX.
I have hundreds of notes organized in tens of notebooks, and search is key for me and any other heavy user. Fancy look is good for demo, for UX and functionality search function is essential.

Also had to do custom CSS editing at least in Mac, to make sidebar and note title text readable again.

In preferences open Appearance>Advanced and choose Edit for Custom stilesheet for Joplin-wide app styles.

Put this code according your flavour:

/* For styling the entire Joplin app (except the rendered Markdown, which is defined in `userstyle.css`) */

*, #joplin-container-body, div.resizableLayoutItem.rli-sidebarColumn, #react-root div.folders, #react-root .side-bar * {
  font-family: 'Inter', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial,
    sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji';
	font-size: 16px;
}

Is this sync-compatible with iOS version 10.2.1? Database v34

I would like to follow up on this and say that I very frequently type a new note title into the search box above the notes list, reflexively thinking that then pressing "new note" right beside that box will create such a note... but of course, it's actually a search box. If I had my UI wish, there would be a new note name box there that did that, and the search box would be more conventionally located.

And (maybe a separate issue) I wish that the little icons for "new note" and "new TODO" were switched, so that the leftmost was "new note", which at least for my workflow is a much more common target than a todo item. Perhaps that's just me.
