Project pages: one tab bar, icons on every button, and a quieter panel

Every screen of a project — including Repeating tasks and Meeting minutes — is now one tab of the same tab bar, every button on the project pages carries its icon, the WhatsApp support button is gone from the panel, and the divider between the work desk's buttons has been removed.

What changed

One tab bar for the whole project. Repeating tasks and Meeting minutes used to be two buttons on the board's own toolbar, so from the Gantt or the Milestones page there was no way to reach them without going back through the board. They are tabs of the project now, sitting beside Project group, Board, Gantt and Milestones on every one of those pages — including their own.

Icons on every button. The project pages' buttons used to mix a few icons with plain text and raw emoji (✓ 📋 ⚡ 👤 💀 on the card's right-click menu and the bulk bar). Every one of them now uses the panel's own icon set — including the Add, Save, Move, Copy and Log time buttons in the task window, the conversation's filter tabs, and the small links under a project card. Three buttons that had been asking for icons the set does not carry (Print, Save as template, Upload and draft) drew question marks; they draw proper icons now. The billable chip on every time entry, the "Raise an invoice" button, the column reorder arrows, the board's Simple/Advanced switch and the little × on the chips (labels, co-workers, copies, mentions) joined the same set.

A quieter panel. The WhatsApp support button is removed from the top bar, the sidebar and the Mizito shell — until support moves into NabuChat. The thin divider between the work desk's action buttons is gone too. The board's bin, which used to open between the progress bar and the outcome banners, now opens beside the board settings, with the rest of the owner-only chrome.

How to use it

  1. Open any project under "Tasks" → "Projects and tasks"; the tab bar under the project's name now carries Project group, Board, Gantt, Milestones, Repeating tasks and Meeting minutes.
  2. Right-click a card on the board (or select several) — every action in the menu now shows its icon beside its label.
  3. Open a task; the section tabs (Details, Checklist and comments, Time, History) and every button in the window carry icons as well.

Good to know

  • The two emoji that remain are inside dropdown options (a native <option> cannot draw an icon); every button has one.
  • "My work" stays on the board's toolbar: it is your own screen, not a screen of the project.
  • Support is reached the old way for now (directly, outside the panel); the in-panel support surface returns with NabuChat.
