Why was it removed? It was the most user-friendly, cleanest and best layout for most users, also the most similar to cPanel which made the switch for users better. Who DirectAdmin is listening to? Seriously, some changes are becoming annoying.
 
There was no such thing as a hybrid layout. When hybrid layout is selected, it would always use the Icons Grid layout for normal users. For the administrator or reseller who selected the hybrid layout, it would switch between the Icons Grid and the Sidebar layout depending on which access level is currently active.

No layout is actually removed. Just the set of rules to dynamically jump between already existing layouts.

I would recommend continuing to use the Icons Grid layout for your users (because hybrid is the same as Icons Grid for normal users). And for administrators and resellers, if they liked the Sidebar layout more, they can pick it in the user Skin Options section.

it does make a huge different for resellers. The thing is it was easier to have the icons grid for users and for resellers/admins the sidebar. Just like cPanel did.
 
@itscoffetime do you mean that sidebar layout is better for admin/reseller accounts in general? Admins and resellers can use sidebar layout if they prefer it by selecting it from the Skin Options page (the Skin Options only affect the current user, not to be confused with the Skin Customization page).

Or do you mean that live layout swapping (when admin or reseller changes his access level) was a useful feature? From our perspective this was the anti-feature we actually wanted to eliminate because a single layout is capable of working in any access level. A live layout swap just causes more confusion.
 
I am really disappointed in DA since they made the menu fixed on the left hand side since then the whole theme has become a cluttered mess.
