Damn, well, when will you update the design of the application for Mac Os to a flat one without 3D squeezing? Please get rid of the strokes of the interface elements, simplify the tool icons, take an Illustrator as an example, with Pixelmator Pro better. It is not necessary to add new functions forever, it is necessary to improve what is there and optimize some tools. For example, work with rounding the corners of a rectangle, color palettes, stroke. In the illustrator, everything is in one window, no need to switch anywhere.
There is no way to collapse the editing tools, all palettes are only unfolded, clicking on the icon can be expanded, so as not to steal the working area.
Set a goal not to switch tabs, but to select tools and edit immediately in the configured panels.
Damn how uncomfortable all this is for you, why not take the usual clean interface design from Illustrator?
You have a lot even better, but working with color palettes is impossibly wild, you have to switch all the time.
Everyone who is tired of using the Illustrator because of their paid subscription goes to your program, so satisfy their users. Arrange a vote.
And please, please update the interface at last, at least as on the iPad or give them to the development team, and they will improve.
You haven't been able to improve the desktop version for so many years. INFURIATING! We are in general in 2022 already.
I attached the Affinity interface, the Illustrator and the Pixelator Pro, see how in the Illustrator all the main tools are in one window, without having to click tabs. Sometimes transparency and others need to be switched, but these are not the most popular tools.
In general, the most necessary by mouse click and hot keys and there is a lot of space for the work area and this is also the screen resolution of 1440x900 (retina).
