Much more than an attempt: a big success and immediately bookmarked! Thanks so much, malayali, for this great resource!

I don't see that behavior in my setup but it might be something for the devs to look into.

As far as your first point is concerned, I don't quite get what you mean by 'the glyph browser stays empty". With regards to the glyph browser not showing the complete character when it is too large, I notice this as well. Indeed, trying to get the right glyph is quite a hit and miss in those cases.

+1 ... and brushes, palettes, styles, assets etc.

😀 Thanks for the further clarifications. I'll be honest, I use the brushes but don't tinker too much with them....

A few new techniques, as in, not part of the manual or other user guides?

And you keep them coming! Thank you, Stuart, for your enormous creativity and craftsmanship, as well as boundless generosity!

Wow, these look beautiful and are very detailed and adjustable! Great presentation, too. Thank you so much!

Very useful. Thank you for sharing these!

You could assign custom keyboard shortcuts. Go to Edit/Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts, select 'Photo' and, in the drop-down window underneath, one of the brush tools. When ticking 'Apply to all', all brush tools will respond to that keyboard shortcut.

That might even be better!

I might not have been clear enough. I don't mean that all panels should be open and docked at the same time but that they could be opened as needed by clicking buttons or the like. I included the screenshot that was part of the thread you referred to and indicated all the free space on the user's small screen. Of course, not all of it can be used as I suggest but just to give an idea of the vacant real estate at the top of the UI.

+1! I also like direct access to the many panels and there is so much empty space for these.

Great improvements! I really like the New Document and Preflight Panels! Thank you!

Thank you for the tuts and the templates. Very nice work!

Does this help?

+1 I recently reinstalled the three Affinity apps after upgrading my hardware, including an SSD. That was easy enough. However, I still have to customize the interfaces -- which, including the various personas, I all gave similar layouts where possible -- because I haven't found the time (or inspiration) to go through all the many steps again. This despite the fact that I made screenshots of the setups before upgrading my hardware. Complicating the process is also having to import all the assets, brushes, LUTs, macros, palettes, styles -- some of them for all three apps and sometimes one by one -- all over again. The net effect is that I tend to avoid using the the Affinity apps even though I really like them. To make this process more user friendly, I could imagine a centralized facility that, while customizing the UI for one app, allows these settings to be also applied to the other apps where it concerns shared features and tools. Of course, such facility would also allow us to save these settings as presets, as well as contain a centralized app asset manager for the brushes, assets etc. The way Affinity conceived this 'suite' is brilliant but without integrating the manner in which the various apps can be customized and their assets be managed, it's sometimes too much of a pain.

Haven't been able to look at it yet but it seems quite useful. Thank you for sharing!

Good decision to make your freebies available without registration -- it may also lead to more traffic. Thank you for the templates. Minimalist, as you say, but very nice and clean!

Johannes, you are one of those '10' users. 😉

+ 1 And the ability to save them for possible reinstall or to port them to newer version.

Thanks for all the additional information. Amazing work!

"Weird" is definitely not the word I'd use for your creations. Better is "wonderful!" I wasn't aware that they're so adjustable and hadn't even thought of those as seamless textures. They might come in handy after all.....

Boy, you make beautiful stuff, Stuart. I'll be honest, though, I'm not sure how I could use this set because it's so much part of your very unique style but thank you for sharing!
