new look for Power Apps

[benapple]

We recently launched a preview of the new look for model driven app Power Apps. Details here.  As you try out the preview, please tell us what you think.  In the coming weeks we'll be talking more about how modern controls, using the Microsoft Fluent design system, will be coming to canvas apps, theming is also on the horizon (about time!).  We're keen to hear people's thoughts and feedback on all those topics here.

Many thanks

Ben

DropDownControl

I can only select a part of my list (around 20) and i can't see an option to increase the amount.

I tried it today in the preview, still only the 10 accessible.

A couple of questions about the roadmap for legacy controls, that are important for the current development and maintenance of PowerApps:

1. Will the legacy controls be phased out completely?  If so, what is the plan or timeline for the phase out of legacy controls?

2. Will there be any way to "upgrade" legacy controls that are in a PowerApp to their counterpart modern control?

Thanks for this great update. I have a very specific question related to Power Apps for Teams

I have an app and turned on this feature

However, when I try to add a new control, I don't see "Modern Controls" group at all

Am I doing something wrong or these controls are not yet supported for Teams Apps?

There seems to be some confusion in our company as to when these new features will be enabled by default in Production. My understanding is that they are still in preview, and we can choose to have them, in Sandbox ideally, if we wish. Can someone please clarify? Thanks in advance.

The controls look great. Look forward to being able to use them.

The date picker needs to support other date formats - dd/mm/yyyy

It looks nice, and the spinner might come in useful. Some of this will help in cleaning up multi-control solutions now that they've been boiled down to a single one. It feels weird not having access to Color/Fill features tho, especially in the spinner that would normally follow branding. I might have to remake some parts off apps if the final version of TextCanvas sticks with OnChange without OnSelect, but I guess that's on me for not replacing those with buttons

Hi Ben,

We have found some issues with the new UI, especially related to the grids. 

1. the control aria names have changed, so our automated tests are failing - eg. “aria-label value contains 'Progress’” no longer matches, the attribute value is now ”PowerAppsOneGrid_ReadOnlyCellAriaLabel” 

2. Grid filtering does not work properly, when additional fields are added to the view. for example, go to All Activities view - edit column, add any random column - come back to the grid and try to filter by owner, the dropdown is empty.

3. Activity type is not showing display name, instead shows internal name (from Activities Menu).

Hi @philjn77 , so we are improving the experience of control selection. But for now, in the field list of control, you will need to select value as well for the content to show up. We are releasing update next week where you won't need to do extra step:

Thanks @Djuuu for highlighting this. The list is only supported till 20, but we will capture this feedback to work on.
