To show SOLIDWORKS not only listens but takes their customers concerns seriously they have reacted.

Bruce announces “Classic Icon Colours” planned for SOLIDWORKS 2016 – SP3I think the most interesting thing about this is that the product teams have been able to react very quickly to this.   This is testament to the amount of work that has been done to the code over SOLIDWORKS 2015 & 2016 releases.

Me personally I can’t see me going back to the “Classic Icon Colours”  The more I use, the more I like the clean mono-colour look of SOLIDWORKS 2016 🙂
