@Patrick Connor Sorry about that. Will repost in that area. Gay

@Patrick Connor Hello Patrick, I have attached two photos of V1 of Designer and V2 of the Preferences windows. V1 font is bright and much easer to read. V2 even with adjusting the interface options is not as bright and some eye strain. Any possibility of make this brighter or bolder. I find this smaller font in the interface in general a bit dim against any background. Thanks Gary

@walt.farrell Thank you! Gary

@walt.farrell Hello Walt, Its in Designer in vector mode. My mistake if there wasn't a basic brush pack. V1.8 , crazy can't remember that happening. Thanks for the update. Gary

@Patrick Connor Brush drawing speed is very slow compared to v1. Tried turning off hardware acceleration , no difference. Also the BASIC brushed group is now gone after importing v1 options. If you turn brush from ROPE mode to STABILZER mode , ( Brush lag eliminated ) ( vector brush tool only ) Gary

@Patrick Connor I have never installed the MSIX files. Not allowed for work. First time installing MSI . Only directory to install option. Did the CTRL option worked. Wasn't present on install though Looks to have imported everything a treat. Nice option .THANKS! Much faster launch, better response sooner. So far so good.. Will try and break it though.. I have time before my next contract. I have noticed one thing. In Preferences. The text is grey. In v1 it was white ( much easier to read ). I tried changing the interface options for text but still not a clean and easy to read as V1. Gary

@Patrick Connor Hello Patrick, So please tell me where i should put info about v2 MSI installer questions. So far Installed easily where i want and has launched fine. I have seen people talking about the installed copying or the option to choose the v1 setup and addons. I cannot find this option. Please advise. Gary

@Patrick Connor Copy that. Thank you Gary

@Patrick Connor Thank you Patrick. Question for you on installing these. When they are updated, do i need to install the OFFICIAL version or will these installs update to 2.0.4? One other thing, if i find issues, where do i report them? or just tag as as MSI installer? Thanks Gary

@henryanthony Thanks...I only have CS6. Last one i bought. Sure it will be fine with that. Gary

@Patrick Connor Hi we are getting towards the end of the week..hope to see those MSI installers. Gary

@henryanthony Thanks for the response. Good to know that works. I will install CS2 and convert them over. Sherwin Williams also has the files on their site for free, so one could also convert them if needed. Gary

@walt.farrell I didn't realize that. Same answer would have to see if it became available if i would or not. Depends on what my work requires. Gary

I dont' do anything involving subscriptions. As i said above . No idea what it would cost. Don't know what i would pay. Don't know if its even worth Affinity's time. If it happens I would evaluate then. Gary

maybe they should offer it. I'm not their marketing dept. If it makes sense do it, if not don't. I can imagine it would make sense for those that use the program for their work. Or specifically need PANTONES. Thats why addons are good. Gary

it can be an option or addon for those that need it. Not everyone does. So sell it a as a addon. Its a writeoff if its for work so who cares. People are used to free , but if you use it for work i am sure they can do it for a reasonable cost. Gary

They need to get the PANTONES in there . Also it would be great if they added paint swatches. Use them in the film industry all the time in layout signage and set mockups. Or the ability to import the ASF files that Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams and so on give for free on their sites. They don't import into Designer at the moment. Or at least not correctly. Gary

@Patrick Connor Thank you for the updated information. All we can ask for . Things always take time to work out, but its good to know whats coming. Gary

@cgidesign I hear you. Not all that happy about the amount of problems that people seem to be having with 2.0.3. The solution to lagging and slowness is to turn of Hardware Acceleration. Kinda defeating the point of it. I really hope that when the MSI installers are released they have some of these things ironed out. Looking at the list of issues on the forum, i cant possibly use it for work. To many bugs. Fingers crossed they squash them soon. Gary

@Patrick Connor thanks for the update. Gary

@Patrick Connor Happy New Year everyone! Is there any update on the MSI installers? Its now 2 months since i have purchased the update and haven't used it yet. Please update Thank you Gary

I agree the software should do this. Try BLENDER. a simple slider adjusts the interface fonts to your liking. Even different in each panel if needed. Much easier to read without turning your OS in a COMIC book. Gary

@jsoegtrop They are FONTSMITH fonts. Myfonts.com will likely have them. I believe you need to purchase these fonts though. Here is a link. https://www.myfonts.com/collections/fontsmith-foundry Gary

@Patrick Connor Thank you for the update Patrick. Gary

@Pšenda that's common Knowledge made on NOV 14th. Its now Dec 19th. Looking for an update. Gary
