SharePoint List display different all of a sudden?

Good afternoon,

Has any one encountered a SharePoint list that displays like this? 

 I work in lists all day and recently noticed that the display has changed. First, there is an icon beside the list name and the views are displayed in a tabular format rather than the drop down menu I am used to. It's not a configured view and I've tried to figure out how all my lists got this way and how to get them back to 'normal'. If this the new way, so be it, but if it isn't I sure would like to know how they got this way. Any ideas?

 

Many thanks

  • I must admit that I am not a fan of the new look. We had a very good working list which has become unworkable because one of the colums contains a lot of text and the new list shows every line, instead of part of the lines. We have had the problem a few years back with another update. I was not the only one protesting at that point. Microsoft was able to turn back this particular problem. Now it is back an causing us real problems.

      I think my biggest issue is what to do with some of the changes and how are they are supposed to enhance the list experience. I see the point of having all the views displayed in a tabular format but others such as assigning a colour or icon to a list defeat me. And don't get me started on those columns!
