 * Hi I notice that when this plugin is activated the background colour of the dash
   board on several pages is removed. This may be a bug or intentional and not such
   a problem on Gutenberg pages as they are styled white anyway. But, on classic
   editor pages this is a nuisance as #f1f1f1 marks out the boundaries between metaboxes
   and makes them easier to locate visually when working in a data entry workflow.
 * The fact that the new block editor uses the all white appearance is one of my
   criticisms of it, not good for large inventories and data entry on a large scale.

 * Great stuff.
 * I am currently only using the new bock editor on a test site to see what can 
   be done with it. From the Republic of Ireland it feels a bit like Brexit. Borders
   are an issue, there is a transition period till 2021 for the current status quo,
   and the backstop might be time limited, classic is removed.
 * Only kidding!
 * In fact I have been the new editor to see what interesting things can be done
   with it. There are some nice block options out there from developers like yourself.
   As a foundation WordPress now has quite a lot to offer for new users before moving
   up a page builder. But even then I have been able to use the two together and
   I can see how adding block into the mix of page builders is possible.
 * Your plugins all white scenario on the dashboard got me thinking. I alluded to
   the design that is possible using Toolset for CPTs and how this is good for data
   entry. So I did a bit of customisation of my own to make the block editor look
   like classic.
 * This works quite well so I see plenty of workarounds in the future to integrate
   the block editor into older workflows. So a good days work.
 * Cheers

 * [@irishetcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/irishetcher/) Some really 
   cool things can be done very easily with blocks. You will definitely like the
   blocks that are coming in our plugin in near future.
 * [@ravanh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) Thank you so much for 
   pointing that out. We have fixed it. We will release the update very soon with
   the fixes and new block.
