Disable Fluent UI controls in Power Apps Studio?

Greetings:

 

I'm working on an app now that I started as a Teams app because one of my Teams groups was intended as the primary audience. However, early on I decided that this had been a bad decision so I found out how to export from the Teams environment and import into my company's default environment and continued working on it in Power Apps Studio. I soon realized, though, that some of the controls worked differently in Studio compared to having begun the work in Studio in the first place. Some of the differences were minor, like "Text Input" being called "Text Box", but other differences were pretty annoying. For example, most of the time I add a button to a screen I want to immediately edit its OnSelect property but now I have to select that property from the properties list because the "key" property shown bt default is the button type ("Primary"). I have to do this for all existing buttons every time I reload the app to work on it and for all new buttons.  This gets old pretty quickly. Another difference is the label control, which I cannot edit by typing directly on it but only in the formula bar or properties panel.

 

I later learned that Teams uses "improved" Fluent UI controls and these apparently came over with the exported/imported app. Is there a way to revert to "normal" controls in Studio without having to start over?

    I just discovered that the controls I can insert onto the canvas include an entire category called "Classic," at the very bottom of the list.  These "Classic" controls include the ones that I thought were missing (Text Input, Dropdown) and a Button that displays the "OnSelect" property by default. So the answer was there from the beginning and I just hadn't seen it. Dooh!
