To clarify - that dark mode issue was with UI Contrast set on the High option. The dark grey elements turn almost black which leaves virtually no contrast between the dark grey (which is now really dark grey), and total black. If you want higher contrast for better visibility, you need to stick with Default UI Contrast and tweak the UI colours instead.

Just upgraded to the V2 suite of programs. I am very disappointed to see the absence of "Separated Mode". I much prefer to have quick access to my desktop or other windows without having to close or resize my working window. If I had known about this I wouldn't have upgraded. I guess I should have tried the Trial version first. Also I find the dark mode to be almost unusable. No matter how much I tweak the UI colours, parts are still black and almost black, making it very difficult to see the edges of palettes and what options are highlighted. The absence of Separated Mode makes this issue more apparent. And lastly, still no support for simple 1 bit b&w, non grayscale, non antialiased images. Wishful thinking on my part.

I would like to see support for creating and exporting Black and White bitmap images in Photo and Designer (ie, 1 bit, bi-level, black and white, no grayscale, no antialiasing)
