New chat UI lost? Was it even one to begin with?

Hi, A few weeks back my players and I were about to start playing and we realized the chat UI was a bit different. We didn´t pay too much attention, but as the game progressed we all were very happy with the new chat UI; it was cleaner, clearer and sharper. But the next session, a week after, we reverted back to the ¨classic¨ chat UI. The new was kind of like purple and the information was displayed in squares with the details of each roll in the chat. It was heaven. So, my question is...Was that something announced or maybe I tinkered with something in Settings? Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!
Are you using the Beyond20 extension to roll from D&D Beyond? It sounds like you're experiencing the 'bug' from Roll20 updating the chat interface, which requires an update to the Beyond20 extension. If that's not what you're referring too, then post a screenshot, and also tell us which character sheet your game is using.
Ok so, this is the chat UI that I have now, and during 1 session I had the ¨purple¨ UI. Also, I use beyond20 and it´s up to date. I´m using D&D 5E Roll20 Anything I can do?
Sorry I was unclear (I wanted a picture of one of the 'purple' rolls.), but you answered my question and I have a solution for you.  First, the Beyond20 extension is not affiliated with Roll20 or D&D Beyond at all -- it's just a browser extension that sends data between the two sites. A few weeks ago Roll20 changed some of the chat settings on the site when the UI was updated (that's why you see that grey chat background instead of green when logging in -- just one of the updates that was made). Those updates affected how information is received from browsers and browser extensions, so the data that Beyond20 sends to Roll20 doesn't 'work' correctly anymore. (And you won't see the green background anymore.) There is already a Beyond20 fix ready, but it hasn't been released yet.  So it's slated to be released, but if you want to implement in advance, just you can install the Dev version from here  (if you don't want to wait for the new release).  Took me and my players about a minute to install, and it's literally just part of the next patch that will be released eventually.
