In a separate development, according to a recent notification from Facebook, the interface to switch to Classic Mode on Facebook will be removed soon. This comes as a surprise as the social media giant had provided the users with an option to choose between Classic Facebook and New Facebook. As the Classic Facebook is going soon, it is taking the old blue theme with it. 

Facebook's official notification said, "Classic Facebook is going away soon." The notification added, "We've made improvements to the new Facebook.com and we're excited for everyone to experience the new look. Before we make the classic Facebook unavailable in September, we hope that you'll let us know how we can continue to make Facebook better for everyone".
