Good evening, Thought you might like to know that the problem reappeared, and I tried setting Display to Software under Preferences/Performance menu item, which was your last suggestion, then restarted the app, and this time it fixed the problem immediately. 🤔😀

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding this last time. I didn’t use the program for a couple of days and when I went back yesterday the problem had fixed itself. No idea! But clearing the settings seems to have worked, eventually. I did go into the performance settings just now to have a look but didn’t make changes since I wasn’t sure what setting Display to Software might do. Thanks everyone for your help and have a wonderful day.

So I did the full reset, ticking all the boxes, and still no luck.
-
Still no change. No, not running Parallels.

Sure, here's one. FAM awareness.afdesign

Thanks carl123, I’ve been switching between modes both in the drop down menu and also using the icons and it seems to be stuck. The checkmark moves in the menu boxes or the icon highlights, but the rendering doesn’t ever change.

Thanks R C-R, not sure why we would have different colors in outline mode, but, I’ve checked the several mode options and you’ve helped me define the problem more clearly: my files are stuck in Outline mode, even when I have Vector mode selected.

This is exactly what’s happening to me. Unfortunately a reboot didn’t help.

Thanks Walt, I checked and it’s in Vector Mode.

Here's another example. Normally there's a rectangular white artboard in the background and black line drawings with pressure gradients applied. I've added another artboard and given it color which you can see in the Layers panel but not the canvas.

Sorry about that, I saw that my original images had my name in the corner and I wanted to preserve a small shred of online anonymity LOL. Hopefully this image is helpful (above).

Here's what I'm seeing. I checked and I'm in Vector mode. The lines that show are for whatever layers I have selected. Normally there would be a bright white background and you'd see all the images with stroke and fill as created.

Hello, everybody, I'm new to graphic design. I've been using Affinity Designer V1 for a couple of years now only for a special project, and have more or less figured out enough of AD on my MacBook to be able to do what I am trying to do with my project. I use the vector persona exclusively. So today when I went to open the app I found that every single file I've created is blank. I can see in the Layers panel that all my content is still there but nothing is showing up on the canvas, aside from those thin blue outlines showing the selected vector curve. I seem to remember that yesterday when I was using the program my laptop battery may have run down before I could close the program properly, and I'm wondering if now the app software is corrupted. If so I guess I would have to reinstall V1 or upgrade to V2, but I thought I would check here first in case it's merely a matter of some setting. I've tried opening AD files that were not open when the computer powered down, they are the same (blank canvas). I tried opening AD files I had previously saved onto a thumb drive, and they also have nothing but invisible content in them. I tried restarting AD, no change. I tried restarting my computer, no change. I've looked at the Dark/Light mode and that seems to have nothing to do with it. I've looked closely at the Swatches and Stroke panels and verified that the Stroke width is greater than zero, and has color applied. I can make changes to the Stroke and see the changes show up in the thumbnails of the Layers panel but not on the canvas. Of course then there are the Art Boards which seem to be missing. I've tried adding an Art Board to the canvas and just like the vectors, I can see the outline and it shows up in the Layers panel but I cannot make them visible. I've tried creating a new file and it does the same. Any suggestions?
