Facebook has announced to take away it's classic option forever for desktop users in coming September. 

Although the new look was launched almost a year ago but the users had the option to opt-out for the classic one - but that dies with this new decision, reports Engadget.

A notification on the page and support pages that told users how to switch back now indicate that the Classic Facebook is going away in September, and taking its old blue theme with it.

Designers and engineers explained their reasoning for the makeover to Engadget a few months ago. The stagnation preceding this revamp occurred while Facebook focused on mobile devices, but now it's ready to push items like its Watch and Gaming sections, as well as the conspiracist-riddled Groups.
