It works somehow but very limited, not adjustable at all. BTW I don't use a pencil tool..

I use Adobe CC.. (sometimes AI also ignores profile/thickness first like Designer, but finally I always manage it somehow..) My whole idea was about using vector brush (NOT raster one) with ignoring pressure (yes, I preffer that) and rather using predefined stroke profile or custom vector brush with typical (narrow cat eye/pupil) shape. But I do not even know how to create such vector brush (2nd solution) when the (1st) solution with stroke profile does not work. I use cheap tablet and I get best results in Illustrator using custom vector brush or custom stroke profile with possibility to change thicknes aftewards if necessary.. Also I miss the smoothing feature in Designer.

Not sure if I understand you.. In Illustrator I can use it in real time/immediately (as I use a stylus), but in Designer I can only make a default curve first and AFTER I have to apply (change) stroke to custom one. See my attached file with AI example where I created my own stroke profile AND my own brush, they both work with paintbrush tool, se my attached picture. Also in Designer there is no way to drag my custom stroke (a curve with ctustom stroke) to Brushes palette to create a custom brush with that profile.

I would like to have an ability to use stroke-pressure profile for (vector) brush as well, not only when I use pen tool (with mouse). This feature is in Illustrator and I am missing it in Designer. EDIT: I mean to have applied custom stroke profile immediately as I draw (using vector brush) with stylus on gr. tablet. OR if not possible then to have chance to create my own custom vector brush with typical narrow cat eye/pupil shape as workaround. And in both situation have chance to change stroke aftewards (which probably works well now).

Probably it has something to do with running Affinity Designer via Winstep Nexus Dock, because when running via Windows start menu, it is OK.

At some point when I worked with color swatches and pantone global color, when I clicked the a color with CTRL key together, an unhandled exception occurred with code: 0x80131534. From that time I am not able to run or even reinstall AD application without getting this error at very start of the application. Repair option during reinstall did not help so I am not able to start the program anymore. Later I will try to repeat reinstall after OS Windows restart..
