Well, you are not forced to use it at least… 
I don’t like to have to click on “Add” to check if new versions of Unity are available. I hope you’re going to make this as visible as it was in 1.6.

I sort of am, actually, because it’s the easiest way to deal with multiple projects. At the same time, however, this is a feature that should have been in since day one. People have been asking for this since like the second beta version and it’s not exactly a tall order.
You had me excited for a second That option (unless I’m wrong) tells you were to install all the versions of unity. So I can specify c:\UnityVersions (for example). I would still get C:\UnityVersions\Unity 2017.1, etc. I want to specify the exact location, not just a parent folder – does that make sense?
I can do this when I manual install each version, but not through the hub.
The truth is that I don’t see a problem with deleting projects directly in the file explorer…
Unless I don’t understand what you want to do, you don’t need to bother about that, the versions of Unity are automatically installed in their own folder.
In your example, if you want to install Unity 2017.1, specify c:\UnityVersions in the installation settings and the installer will create the Unity 2017.1 folder and install Unity 2017.1 inside that folder.
WORKSFORME WONTFIX is not justification for bad design.
What?
This is a basic UX issue and keeping it backburnered for so long is bad design.
I do not like the fact that you have to manually select all the projects and switch one by one to a new version.
I would prefer a simple solution like being able to select more projects at once, and change the unity version, or to choose a prefered unity version (like in the v1.x unity hub) that will automatically be assigned to the projects which do not have their version installed when I try to open them (with a warning popup first, of course).
Edit: A checkmark to be able to select multiple project is a good solution.
A better one would be to have a separate button to open the project in unity, and the normal project click should be a simple selection. And you would be able to change on bulk properties for the selected projects, like unity version and platform.
Hi,
Sorry, this is a bug for the versions 2019.2.0a6 and above.
We are currently working on a fix

What I like to do is have a folder C:\Program Files\Unity (no sub folders) - this is the current latest version, always. When I grab a new version, I install to that same folder. No need to uninstall, just overwrite what’s there.
I can’t do that with the hub, the hub requires I use specific folders for each version, even if I’m only going to have 1 version installed – I would have to install then uninstall and if I had any batch files that referenced a folder, change to the new version.
I just prefer having the option to choose my install folder per version (rather for all of the hub).
I understand. Before the hub was released, installing a new version of Unity consisted in:
- deinstalling the old version,
- installing the new one.
The two steps were automatic, nothing was overwritten. But sometimes, old stuff remained in the old version directory, which may cause problems when you run the new one. With the new Hub system, each installation is clean.
Maybe, what you want will be an option in the future; but then I’ll have to manually deinstall the old versions before having the hub install the new ones…
I know about this, last year dark mode for Hub was also showcased and it didn’t make into the main release.
Well, we are a lot closer now at least. : P It looks like it’s showing 2.1.
Just see the reply from Unity. It’s a bug. There’s no way to choose platform. No down arrow for it.
Thank you.
We definitely appreciate the interest in having a version of the Hub Dark Mode. It’s something we would love to consider sooner than later. However, as others have pointed out we have, a long list of requests and for this 2.0 release we wanted to address the core new design (with light UI theme) first before attempting both colour palette options
In this case, as with past public roadmap presentation, this screenshot is a proof of concept design to highlight the new Learn section (amongst other design tweaks) with a dark theme for a future release (not necessarily 2.1 but beyond)… the goal was to help assess interest and gather feedback on the concept. Apologies if this set an expectation on given timeframe, that was not the intent and something to make clearer in future presentations.
Thanks
Daniel

I saw it when it was posted.
@JakubSmaga I just started the hub this morning and I was signed off; this didn’t happen in 1.6 and didn’t happen yesterday either.
