For anyone annoyed by the Tumblr changes, if you're on desktop I would recommend using XKit Rewritten (and New XKit for any other odd changes you'd like to try out, including even older aspects of Tumblr). It's the older version of Rewritten but most of the extensions on it are still supported/do work). I can't guarantee they'll definitely make a fix for it/a direct fix for this particular UI change, but it's possible that they might since they usually make extensions that allow you to essentially revert changes made to the UI. Other various UI extensions (such as old ones from Tumblr's past UIs that the extensions basically just revert you to) may also help fix up your UI.
As you might expect these extensions need to be on to work/revert the appearance of the UI (so if you turn them off you'll revert to the current state of Tumblr), but while they are on you can curate your UI to look how you want it. This goes for both New XKit and XKit Rewritten. I use both and I couldn't live without them lol. You can get some big oldies of Tumblr's, like classic search on Rewritten or the Tweaks extension (full of various UI tweaks) on New XKit (including the old shade of blue Tumblr used a long time ago that I never stopped using!).
Unfortunately I don't know of any solution for mobile if it affects mobile at any point (or if it already has), but whenever you're on desktop, I would definitely recommend both these versions of XKit. I have so many extensions from them that I often don't even realize when there are UI changes (remember how Tumblr added themes for your dashboard? I didn't even notice for the longest time because I've had New XKit on the whole time) because Tumblr's default coding is overwritten by the extensions I have on.
#DCB Comments#literally like when was the last time I was bothered/affected by a big UI change#idk bc I always have XKit on lol fhjaghjfg like half the time I don't even notice there was a change#atm I can't tell if I just haven't been hit by the change yet or if all the extensions I'm using are preventing it#bc I use a LOT of old interface extensions so in a sense I'm using an older version/look to Tumblr#I also heard a techbro runs Tumblr now so don't be surprised that this site is going to#end up looking like a Twitter clone. techbros want all social media to look exactly identical#while still claiming to want to one up each other and act like they have the bigger/better company#like nah bruh y'all're the same and y'all're shit#as much as I still hope Tumblr doesn't fall into that I feel like it will unless someone else runs Tumblr soon :'(#like buddy I don't use Twitter much at all anymore for a reason. well a lot of reasons#anyway get New XKit for lots of OLDER older Tumblr stuff and Rewritten for newer stuff/updated New XKit stuff#New XKit still works fine it's just that they made a newer/more improved version of New#if you've never used XKit make sure to use NEW and REWRITTEN tho#the original XKit is probably no longer functional and I don't even know if it's still on the app stores#last I knew of it most of its extensions were so outdated that they broke a long time ago#but you can use both of the newer ones together actively and it works amazingly
