I've tried to create the same sort of effect by adding styles and a round gradient but the problem is you can't do the 70% out of 100% and leave the 30% greyed-out.
 
This examples shows 100%.

 
I'm trying to create those Apple Watch activity chart circles.

This is maybe crazy but this very old Illustrator video shows something kinda complex in a easy to use workflow but when I try to do the same thing in Affinity Designer it's for some reason totally not possible. I can't create a brush from objects?
 

 
* skip a little through the intro talk..

Look at you being all sexy with Affinity Designer...  :wub:
 
This will help big time, thank you!

Yes, perfect that works like it should.
 
Next question, the Resempler setting shouldn't it remember my last taken option to use that same option by default next time around?
Right now, it falls back to default 'Nearest Neighbour' option so I have to manually switch each time I resize an image.
 

Hmm strange, now it's there... 
 
The day before yesterday it wasn't there I know for sure, it probably was out doing some grocery.
I think I need glasses.  :rolleyes:

In Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator we always had the option to change the size of your layer thumbs.
 
I really like bigger thumbs.
 

Maybe this is a bit silly to ask but I'm a real fan of Lynda.com and the way they teach people how to use software with essential training video's.
 
Is there maybe some opportunity that the Affinity people can reach out to Lynda.com and provide them with a top designer who knows Affinity Designer inside out. I would really like to have some sort of training course about this software. Tutorials are create and very helpful (thanks) but I think when you really want to start doing things right you need a solid understanding of all the settings, tools and layouts before you can start creating stuff..
 
I bought Affinity Designer at launch day and to be honest I haven't got the most out of it. When I see video's like this show up at Vimeo I feel like really stupid not knowing such a great feature is part of the app and I'm not using it.

 
When someone professional teaches you all the essentials you can't miss out on these features and will never forget to use them because they become part of your workflow.
 
Thanks,
