Twitter has rolled out a new version of its app for the desktop users. The giant social media platform claims it to be more user friendly and in sync with its mobile app. The social networking company took it to its official handle on Monday, announcing the new development through a very interactive video, captioned as, ‘Woah, what’s this? A shiny new https://Twitter.com for desktop? Yup. IT’S HERE.’

The new design includes a dedicated Explore page and a bookmark feature. Other changes include, a larger view of Direct Messages with the reply feature from the same display. It will also show other conversation that the user had in the past. Twitteratis can track back their new followers from the notification area only, narrowing down the lengthy effort of going through the follower list.

There are two new dark mode options, like the dark themes of twitter app for iOS. In addition to the ‘Dim’ dark mode theme (blue/grey theme), there is now also a ‘Lights Out’ theme and an automatic dark mode. There are also different colour options for the theme (yellow, pink, blue, purple, orange and green) which also changes the fonts and the accents.
The new User Interface of the twitter for desktop app is cleaner than before with a lot of features on the same display. Though Twitter claims that the app is more simplified and lighter, users are not happy with it. Netizens have started using #BringBackLegacyTwitter in protest of the change.

Earlier, Users were demanding for an edit button, seems like Twitter ignored it.
Twitter will redesign the entire site and make it ugly, but won’t give us an edit button
