@mcfirm - I *think* the long-term plan is to both provide more customization to that menu, and also make it collapsible.
I understand why it is like this, improving it in this way would be good!
I HAVE NOT READ all the comments: I simply want to give my vote, "I HATE JUPITER" the theme needs color in the icons.
2nd why do you constatnly push for observing how people use thier control panels BUT you removed the template option so you can't see which is prefered!
3rd why is Jupitor the only theme, why have themes at all if there are no choices?
I've switched to Jupiter to try and get use to it but it slows me down like learning a new language. Put color in it or put back paper lantern with color not that glass crap.

Hi,
My two cents on the new look: While I like minimalism, in my opinion the new theme is just pushing it too hard. The icons are just blend-y and not as easily distinguishable like on the old beloved dark paper lantern (that you will have to claw from my cold dead hands). And the font should put on some weight, altough you might need to rework the icons as well if that happens (pics related).
In all honesty I think you're making a great product, never had big issues in the couple of years I've had it. And while I know I cannot change where the developement is heading, I'll join the gang calling for dark mode. Jupiter is seriously so bright I could replace the lightbulbs in my house with any device able to run a web browser with an instance of whm admin open

I concur Jupiter is really bad.
I know I'm repeating what everyone else is saying but it obviously still needs saying because it isn't changing.
* cPanel Jupiter left hand blue menu is horrible
* I don't want to Wordpress Toolkit listed in that menu it's not at all helpful for my customers
* I now have to horizontal scroll as well as vertical scroll for the same data. This is not good design.
* New Search facility completely hopeless. Can no longer find what I want. Customers can no longer find what they want. Hopeless.
* Search Box in left hand menu good. Search box on the right hand BAD.
* I hate bright screens. Where's my Dark Mode
* I liked Paper Lantern Dark Mode
* My customers do not find it easy to navigate and do familiar jobs in Jupiter - we get more calls to do things for them because they can no longer do things for themselves.
* Old Icon Set might help.
To repeat the words of @ferumfist you can remove Paper Lantern from my cold dead hands.
Do you think when you completely remove Paper Lantern in cPanel 108 you are going to get lots of happy website users suddenly becoming webhosts or are you going to get more complaints because we can no longer fix the interface problems by changing the defaults from Jupiter to Paper Lantern? You are literally removing our ability to fix the problem!!

I'm going to get banned from this place... fine! I hate being your test subject. I did not ask for change. I'm effing OLD. I already have hard time seeing WHM, why you make it DIMMER to see? The contract sucks. the scrollbar is lighter... WHY? The main titles are lighter... WHY?
I had installed "userContent.css" to avoid the previous BS css you forced on me, now you have somehow managed to override my custom and back to BS css. Who gives a damn about old people managing a web business, right?

@Nathan Lyle - third-party products, by their nature, are never directly supported by cPanel. They could work and behave just fine, but that isn't something we would know about on our side.
Contrary to the change that none of us like, I fine I can work just as fast in Jupiter as Paper Lantern (after getting used to it), BUT... even with the much appreciated fixes and tweaks to Jupiter after it was first rolled out, bugs-and-all, there is one glaring pain that needs to be addressed!
The UI look makes it un-intuitive, and hard ti look at (literally, I'm not talking ugly, I'm talking hard to navigate due to the look). SO MANY users have said this already. Those with vision challenges have pointed it out. Isn't accessibility a cPanel thing? it is for we who are web devs. We have talked about mouse and keyboard efficiency, and down right deceptive color choices, like the left panel menu colors and the scrollbar area colors!
How about we baby-step this with the option to use a CSS override file?!
Echoing this, and without resorting to any third-party products: What are the current options to customize the cPanel user interface with Jupiter?

Very useful, but I don't see the WHM counterpart.Guide to cPanel Interface Customization and Branding in the Jupiter Theme

I should have specified above that my specific beefs my post above are about WHM. I'm not sure if you refer to the new WHM UI as Jupiter as well, or if it just happened a that time period, but that's what I'm talking about.
We currently do not intend for any type of theming or customizations of the same level to be applied to WHM.
And I don't expect a customization interface, but is asking for a CSS override really too much? (It's not even a feature request, and no I didn't/won't open one for it.)
But until that, or a major improvemtn to the WHM UI, happens the hatin' will continue...
WHM as a whole, and especially the left nav area.
The main thing would be colors for fonts, backgrounds, scrollbars/areas, borders.
Secondly, font size and style.
I'm sure others would have some additional suggestions.
I reached out to the UI team about these options and they told me to open a feature request for it, so I created this:
I added the notes that @PeteS shared in his most recent reply, but anyone is now free to comment on that case if you're looking for something specific to be added there.
