In HS version 2.4, Control Panel interface design underwent significant modifications:

1. New designs (skins), XPressia and XPressia Lite, were added, with a dropdown menu panel on the top of the page. XPressia Lite is specially designed to be used if your browser works slowly with XPressia.
2. The obsolete Text-Based skin was completely removed from CP interface.
3. Instead of the Text-Based skin, it is provided a possibility to choose the Text Links mode from the Choose Iconset select box, with text-only links instead of icons in the Quick Access page.

Note: If a user chose the Text-Based skin before HS update to 2.4, this user's CP will appear in the Left Menu default H-Sphere skin after update. If Text-Based was a default user CP skin, it will be replaced with a new default interface skin set by administrator.

To select a skin and configure interface design settings:

1. Click Select a New Skin in the left hand info/control area.

2. Select the name of a skin in the Choose Design box. You will see the skin preview. Click the Choose button.

   Note: If your browser works slowly with XPressia, choose XPressia Lite which is specially designed for such situations.

3. Select an icon set in the Choose Icon Set box. You will see the preview of images from this icon set. Click the Set button.

   Note: Choose the Text Links mode if your browser is slow with drawing images.

4. Set Tooltips state. This option determines whether or not to show hints at the top of each page.
