I need to revert back to the UI before this new ont

### Custom Node Testing

- [ ] I have tried disabling custom nodes and the issue persists (see [how to disable custom nodes](https://docs.comfy.org/troubleshooting/custom-node-issues#step-1%3A-test-with-all-custom-nodes-disabled) if you need help)

### Your question

I can't even figure out how to save workflows anymore. Why did you guys get rid of all the options on the bottom/top bar? how do I get to settings? I don't want to use shortcuts. The option should always be there for those that don't want to.

### Logs

```powershell

**Original Comments:**

@christian-byrne:

Which version of the frontend are you using?

@IntellectzProductions:

the very very latest. Don't get me wrong, it looks cleaner and I like the new graphics but is there a way to bring that stuff back? I would love to use this version if I can get my normal options.

@christian-byrne:

On the very latest (1.26.4) there's actually a bug that's inadvertantly making a lot of stuff not render correctly like the sidebar. I'll try to release a new version tonight that fixes it. Until then I recommend not launching with `@latest`.

@Sofocletus:

Not a fan of the redesign, specially putting the Settings button in a menu and the icons becoming even more obscure than before.

@godlock2006:

Yeah this redesign is actually just worse than the old design. Please either revert back or provide an option to use the old format

@GitHub-MellowYellow:

Any change that makes one click into multiple is a strange design decision. But hey, even microsoft is doing it constantly for some god-forsaken reason

@Sofocletus:

What would be nice is to have a shortcut that could switch between the tabbed UI and the ComfyUI Manager panel. The tabs are useful, but the rest of the UI is no, everything is spread across different areas of the screen and it takes too much space for what it does.
