UI/UX Improvement Suggestion: Minimal and Context-Aware Interface Design

Dear ActivePresenter Support Team,

I’ve been using ActivePresenter for creating e-learning content, and I truly appreciate the powerful features it offers. However, I’ve noticed that the current interface can feel a bit cluttered, especially for new users or when working on complex projects.

I would like to suggest a modern, minimal, and context-aware UI design approach for a future version:

  • Focus Mode / Contextual UI: When a specific tool or object (e.g., Shape, Text, Image) is selected, the interface should automatically hide unrelated controls and display only the relevant options for that object.
  • Cleaner Layout: Reduce unnecessary visual elements and adopt a more modern design style similar to Adobe’s clean interface or tools like Figma—where the user sees only what’s necessary for the current task.
  • Dynamic Panels: Properties and formatting options could appear contextually, avoiding the need for users to navigate multiple panels.

This type of design would significantly improve focus, efficiency, and usability—especially in e-learning workflows where designers need to concentrate on the content rather than navigating a complex UI.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I’m happy to share mockups or further ideas if needed.

Best regards,

Thank you for your idea.
We would appreciate it if you can share the mockups or further ideas via our email at support@atomisystems.com.

In fact, in the upcoming version 10, we do make a change in the UI.
Not quite exactly what you may want here, but I hope that it will bring back a more modern and efficient editing experience.
So, when this new version is launched, please feel free to give feedback on the UI more. We would love to hear your comments.

In the meantime, we have noted your suggestion here, dear.
Keep up with your enthusiasm :flexed_biceps:
