New Q2 2023 UI changes--Course content not easy to tell there are videos avaliable to watch.

It is hard to tell that content--videos specifically--are available in a class in the new UI. When course recordings or videos are uploaded to an Echo360 course they are using a white icon and a pink hover state. Black icon is used for schedule recordings. This seems counter intuitive. Also the go live indicator being pink is a little weird as well. Not sure why everything has to move to this new pink black and white/grey color scheme but it really does not make sense and the buttons do not help out. If I did not know where everything was already I would be lost. Freshman coming into Echo360 may have a hard time understanding things because the buttons are not helpful like they once were.

Hi Tina Meagher, sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the new UI changes. We are planning on slowly moving everything in EchoVideo over to the new raspberry theme over the course of this year to better reflect our new branding.
In the screenshot you provided, which is the Instructor view, the class in the top row represents content that is available to students while the two classes below with the dark grey icons represent content that is not yet available to students.
For students, we did not change the behavior when content is not available, they won't see or have any icons for the class. Unwatched available content will be represented with a raspberry icon, and watched available content will be represented with the black&white icon.
If it's helpful, we've documented all of this here:

Hannah Petty: Hey Hanna, thanks for all the work the product team is doing. Can scheduled classes have the light grey with white text like it used to? Much like what is seen when there is a scheduled class with Live Stream enabled?

Katie Becker: Hey Katie, I'm afraid we can't go back to the light grey with with white text because it did not meet accessibility requirements. We will, however, keep this in mind and see how we can improve the experience overall.
