Learn More about the Vivado HLx Editions New Look and Feel!
Vivado has matured as a product and we have continuously added features. The Vivado HLx Editions 2017.1 release in April featured a new look and feel. Our primary motivation for the change was to improve your user experience.
After reviewing the entire user experience the most significant changes revolve around three main areas; simplifying the icons, standardizing locations, and improving the readability of the tool. We’ve significantly reduced the number of icons in the tool and reuse icons whenever possible. Color has been thoughtfully used to attract your attention to major flow steps or issues that need your attention. All toolbars are now horizontal. Parent tabs are at the top of windows and children tabs are at the bottom. A new gear icon was added to each window that allows access to its settings. By standardizing toolbars, tabs and settings locations, you should feel comfortable as you navigate the design environment. Finally, the readability has been improved by selecting high contract foreground and background colors. We removed a significant number of borders that have visually cluttered the tool.
