Non-transparent background document export is transparent
Old Bruce replied to jubarbie's topic in V2 Bugs found on macOS
Both Preview and the OS Quicklook will give a white background to PDFs. It most likely is a transparent background.- 19 replies

States Panel Light UI Contrast Issue
Old Bruce replied to prophet's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
It is rather like those of us that use the light user interface have 99% of the available functionality. If we cannot see a button or a switch or a lock then we cannot use said item. A possible solution would be to just trash the light user interface if you cannot fix it. I loathe dark interfaces, always have and most likely always will, but if the light user interface cannot be fixed then trash it. I will proceed with an interface I hate but one where I can use 100% of the tools you have made. I am beyond tired of having to switch back and forth to see if something has been removed or is just newly rendered as invisible every-time there is an update. -
Welcome to the forums @Mike617, You may need to set up your "Xencelabs Pen" to make the other end work as an eraser. I am completly ignorant of Xencelabs Pen's functionality so sorry I can't be of more help. It would also help if you were to mention what OS (Mac or Windows and OS number) you are using.

You'll need to use a physical distance, not a pixel distance, for the units of measurement for the "resized" export. If your document has 72 DPI/PPI and you are using Inches as your Units of Measurement. And your original is 738 pixels then the physical size is 738/72 = size in inches. If your original document has 300 DPI/PPI then the arithmetic is 738/300 = size in inches. 700/72 = 9.722222222 inches 700/300 = 2.33333333 inches

Ah, that is why I have been having so much trouble figuring this out. Serif you have to fix the poor contrast issue. You have to. It is making has made your software far more difficult to use. -
Warping stripes on curves
Old Bruce replied to Joe S.'s topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Wow. How did that slip through? I guess it could be read/viewed as a condemnation of idle millionaires and their closeness to organized crime. Not to mention the pervasive trend towards criminality in the West. -

Yes, starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, and Tony Curtis. "Like Jello on springs." -

Some like it hot. Sorry, just couldn't help myself. One of the best movies ever. Only peripherally related to music. -

Happy to have helped. -
Space before and after Headings
Old Bruce replied to Godsgirl's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
In the Paragraph Style itself. In the Text Styles panel double click on the name of the Paragraph Style, or click on the little three line "hamburger menu". -
Space before and after Headings
Old Bruce replied to Godsgirl's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Most likely you have Align to Baseline Grid turned on for all the Paragraph Styles. Turn it off for the "Navigation" heading Paragraph Style. I use Exact leading for all my Paragraph Styles and do not use the Baseline grid. You may want to use the Baseline grid for the Paragraph Style which is used for the bulk/body/normal/whatever-it-is-called of the text. This will assist in lining up the text at the bottom of pages which is something a great many people worry about. An inordinate amount of worry in my opinion. -

That was about my fourth or fifth guess. -
Importing content
Old Bruce replied to Bill Chellberg's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Welcome to the forums @Bill Chellberg, When you say "import" are you using a Text Frame to File > Place... the .docx file? That is how it works with Affinity Publisher. Make a text frame in your Publisher Document and go to File > Place and navigate to where the .docx file is and select it. -
Draw your shape and make it much shorter than it would be, use the Knife tool to then "draw" the break. Use the Move tool to drag one end away a bit. For more control over the shape of the break you could use the Pen tool to draw a line and then select the Pen's line and the object you are wanting to break and use Geometry > Divide.

If you have a closed shape and are using Designer then you can use the Appearance panel to add a second stroke and have it aligned to the outside. If you have an open shape then you'll need to close it and use a mask to hide the bit you don't want. Here is the file for designer v2. double line.afdesign

Labels too small to read
Old Bruce replied to pussnbooks's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It would be remiss of me to not at least mention the User Preference for "Larger Font" which I personally find to be still too small. At least here on Mac OS. -

Old Bruce replied to pussnbooks's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Welcome to the forums @pussnbooks, Sadly this is one of the interface problems that people have been asking for (Larger Fonts) for yonks and so far there has been no change. Apparently we just have to live with it. [resigned sigh emoticon] -
Photo will always show a pixel view, Designer can show Pixels or Vectors. Meaning that if you zoom in close enough (to hundreds of % instead of 100%) you will start to see the individual pixels in Photo all the time. Whereas with Designer if you zoom in and have the View > View Mode > Vector then you will see the vector as a smooth line, if you choose View > View Mode > Pixels you will see that smooth vector line as pixels.
