I even find the left icon bar/navigation pane, in QuickBooks 2014, to be easier to work with and have open. You can change the background color of the top icon bar to be lighter – if you’d like, by going to the Edit menu -> Preferences -> Desktop View -> select Switch to colored icons/light background on the Top Icon Bar. When you launch QuickBooks 2014 – the new default color is a very nice dark blue (Intuit is calling it Harmony Blue) and I’m thrilled to say that I’ve been beta testing since right around the end of May and I’ve had none of the horrible headaches that I experienced with Quickbooks 2013!īelow is a screenshot of the QuickBooks home page using the new harmony blue in the top icon bar. Heck I still have a hard time working in the 2013 version – here we are almost a year since it was released (and nearly a year and a half since I started beta testing it last spring) and I need to be done after 2 to 2 1/2 hours! For many of us, myself included, we couldn’t work in QuickBooks 2013 for more than an hour without getting a raging headache. Many people, myself included, really had a hard time working in QuickBooks 2013 all day long with that really dark (and yes ugly) charcoal grey/black background color of the left navigation pane. When QuickBooks 2013 was released on of the most controversial topics of conversation when it came to the new version was COLOR – or rather the lack of it! In QuickBooks 2014 the most noticeable improvement that you see as soon as you launch it is COLOR!
