thats what I do atm....which unfortunately was also the same with photoshop...if that's the case I might as well use photoshop then lol hopefully they do add a feature that allow users to permanently disable it

hi, is there a way to completely disable brush crosshair? I don't know why, but now, when the brush becomes too small, a crosshair appear and it is extremely distracting. one of the main reason as to why I switched to affinity was the fact that the brush did not have any crosshair regardless of how small the brush size becomes. cause the crosshair is really distracting for me. (photoshop has this crosshair feature as well that can't be disabled, hence I tried to find diff options). but unfortunately, this non-crosshair feature that Affinity used to have(as far as I can remember), have changed. back then even if I was using 1 px brush size, i wasn't getting any crosshair, which was nice cause that thing was distracting. but now, i don't know when this happened (as it's been a while since I used Affinity again), the crosshair appears when my brush reach the size of 3.6 px. I looked into preference, but the only options in there is: disable cursor preview enable crosshair all the time I still want to be able to see the brush (despite it being a dot at 1px) but I do not want to see the crosshair am I looking into the wrong settings or the feature simply doesn't exist?

I just have two questions (and probably more later) 1. how do you temporarily hide selections? in Photoshop, you can do this by pressing Ctrl+H. I often use this feature when i'm painting and prefer not to constantly ticking boxes or selecting something. its much faster if I can just assign a key to it so I can use it on my drawing tablet's express key. 2. when using the color picker, a big sphere/circle will appear in order for me to get a good view of what the color i'm selecting. is there a way to disable this sphere/circle? or atleast maybe reduce it size? cause unfortunately its too distracting as it blocks a large portion of whatever drawing/image is behind it.
