I’m a designer who discovered Pinegrow around four years ago as I wanted to get into WordPress development without having to rely on quirky pagebuilders and let met create the layouts as I designed them, not as they ware possible in the pagebuilder. And in this it has been very effective! As such, in the capacity of me being a designer, I thought I’d give redesigning the Pinegrow interface a try and see where I would end up. Below here is the result. Tell me what you think. ![Pinegrow_redesigned](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/3/35288a03b1acabb9fa218b0849ba8d28cbce731e.jpeg) ---

I think the radiuses on the boxes should be smaller. ---

I like it a lot, but I agree with printninja the radius is way too big. Maybe a subtle 5 px or max 10 px should do the trick. I am talking about the panels , i do not mind the button shaped radius on the file selection on top and the tree selection. The floating side panel also looks great! ---

A redesign or a refactoring, what will this be? A redesign requires you to complete redesign something from scratch (imo). A refactoring requires you to complete refactor what’s given. So, is this a redesign or a refactoring? Because the key difference is functionality ---

The above is fan-made😉 ---

It’s a preference thing I suppose. To me the more pronounced rounding gives a little more “style” than a lesser rounding would. I can’t really explain why, it’s more of a feeling as such my reference to preference. ---

Thanks! And as I said to printninja, the rounding is sort of a preference… There is no real right or wrong answer to it I suppose ---

As was already said, this is a fan made design. To me what you distinguish here sound more like semantics, though I do understand on some level why you make the distinction. If we are going by your definition, it’s more of a refactoring than a redesign. By my definition however, a refactoring is in its own way also a redesign. Perhaps not of the functionality, but a “touch up” of purely the visual elements could also be called a “redesign” as far as I’m concerned as the elemnts you see on screen and how some of them are altered in appearence and visualisation is also a “design”. But that’s how I see that. ---

You mix up so many definitions that none of them separate and clarify what you do and why. I got it that it was fanmade, what else? Your debating form & function in a fiction where both have no meaning, as appearance is a somatical significant psychological effect. Designers make choices, not problems, and this is the nirvana-bias; you create a new Nirvana for Pinegrow users, yet the result is a decline of what once was a trustworthy face and workhorse. It looks like slick, but that’s the problem to me. And good design is user-facing, not reinventing the face users know. ---

Why do you double down on this? What’s it to you? Can’t you just say I like/don’t like what you did and leave it at that? Why give me the third degree over something I did in my spare time over barely a couple of hours? ---

Indeed, this is about sharing an inspiration around the Pinegrow interface, not a rhetoric contest on what is UX, design etc. … Thanks @Roel for sharing.
