January 2026 Update

New Color Concept, Redesigned Product Management and More Clarity for Customers

In January, we focused intensively on one of the most central topics in the Designer: colors. At the same time, we completely redesigned product management to meet growing complexity and provide you and your customers with a clearer structure.

New Color Concept with Two Modes

We went through each designer step from the customer's perspective once again and paid special attention to color selection. The goal was to make getting started easier without losing full flexibility.

This resulted in two clearly separated modes. The previous approach is now called Detail Mode. Here, each pattern piece can still be addressed and adjusted individually. This mode offers maximum control and remains available unchanged for complex designs.

New is the Simple Mode. In this mode, all colors currently used in the design are displayed clearly. The customer can exchange these colors with a single click. This is particularly helpful in combination with design templates. Select a template, adjust colors and you're done. You can switch between simple and detailed mode at any time.

Improved Color Selection for Patterns and Texts

The color selection for patterns and texts has also been revised. The display is clearer and more usable both on desktop and on mobile.

Additionally, all colors already used in the current design are now marked in the color list. For example, you can choose the same color for a text that is already used elsewhere in the design without having to search for it.

The same principle applies to color gradients. Used gradients are saved, including both colors as well as rotation and scaling. These can then be easily applied to other surfaces.

Change Colors in Groups and Manually Sort

Colors can now also be changed in groups. This makes adjustments much faster, especially for extensive designs with many similar colored areas.

Also new is the ability to manually sort colors. Previously, the order was determined automatically based on hex values. Now you can decide how your color palette is structured.

Sorting works either directly in color management via drag & drop or via CSV import and export, where you can specify the desired order.

Redesigned Color Management with Explanations

Color management has been revised not only functionally but also visually. Explanations have been added, processes described more clearly and the interface cleaned up. The goal was to make even complex color palettes understandable and maintainable long-term.

New Product Management with Sidebar and Progress Indicator

In addition to the color update, product management also received a major redesign. Product maintenance has grown significantly in recent months and will continue to expand. Accordingly, a structure that works long-term was important.

The new layout uses a clear sidebar structure. In the sidebar you now also see a progress indicator for product maintenance. At a glance, you can see whether all relevant areas of a product are completely and correctly maintained.

Additionally, notifications for customers can now be displayed for each product, for example information about special features, delivery times or special conditions.

Conclusion

The January update brings above all clarity. A new color concept with simple entry and full depth, more control over color palettes and a much more organized product management ensure that both customers and admins reach their goal faster without sacrificing flexibility.
