My Sister, did a review of the XP-Pen Artist 22 a while back. https://www.whispersonthewing.com/xp-pen-artist22-drawing-monitor-review/ she waffles a bit but she loves it and uses her XP -Pen a lot more than I use mine.

The status Bar is the small strip at the bottom of the Affinity window that gives hints to extended states, such as, modifier keys that change how the tool you are using behaves.
The modifier key hints will change the status of the tool when pressed and held while using the tool, hence "Status Bar".

Can you upload the wiener melange file as it is in Affinity Publisher?

-
You have a lot of overlaps on the flowers.
Move the nodes so they look like below and the H will divide.
-
Any chance you can upload the file?

Automatically no, they cannot be "tied" to a margin edge and move as the margin moves, that's akin to responsive web pages where a webpage has containers. There is a panel called constraints which does a similar thing. This may give you some semblance of control but I'm not sure it's exactly what you are looking for but I hope this helps.

On a hexagon (6-sided) the side length is half the height so a 10cm x 10cm hexagon has 6 sides with a side length of 5cm each.
A pentagon (5-sided) is easy to set with this webpage: https://www.omnicalculator.com/math/pentagon
A few assumptions have been made. You have the transform panel in view, you have set the polygon tool to 5 sides, you know about cycling selection boxes, you know to double click in the transform input boxes, you have a good memory and you are wearing clean undies in case you have an accident.
- Type the Side (a) length you want and pay attention to the Height (h) measurement
- In Affinity hold down Shift and drag out a pentagon.
- Press . (fullstop) on the keyboard, this cycles the selection box. (tightens it up)
- On the transform panel type the Height (h) measurement into the H: input box and press enter
To test, measure a side.

This is how montserrat is constructed as seen in the Font editor Gylphs
At the moment Affinity doesn't support Variable fonts, I have no idea why?

Locking to a guide is a definite no, aligning to a guide would have to know which guide was selected so at the moment that's also a no, maybe make a request for align to selected guide.
in the meantime why not use margins, these can be set asymmetrically to allow for spine etc and the benefit is you can align to margins.

That was along time ago and thank you for the compliment. Actually it was the second time I had a go at the Jaguar. The first time was an acrylic painting then I thought I would try and do it on the computer with DrawPlus. I have attached the painting jpeg.
Kin hell, that's awesome.

By max res do you mean Actual size?
Actual Size = ⌘ + 8
Pixel Size = ⌘ + 9
Both can be accessed by using View > Zoom >

No, checking that out now. Thanks!
Edit: Seems to have done the trick. Succesfully applied HSL and Brightness/Contrast changes. Thanks again @firstdefence.
You're welcome.

Did you try turn off hardware acceleration under Affinity Photo prefs?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, for the future try force quitting before shutting down. How do you do that...
QuoteFrom time to time, an app you’re using will hang, freeze, or fail to quit when you want it to. Luckily, there’s a built-in way to close a bothersome app, even when it refuses to quit normally.
In times like that, right-click the app’s icon in the Dock, then hold the Option key. This will change the Quit command in the context menu to Force Quit. Click this and the app should close, even if it isn’t responding. Alternatively, you can click the Apple icon in the menu bar and click Force Quit (or press Option, Command and Escape together), then choose the app from the Force Quit Applications window.
So the MicroSD card is now showing as Blank? if so your only option is to try a recovery app.

Using the Node Tool you should be able to click drag on the outside edges to bend them but in all honesty I personally think it would detract from the ethos of the low poly design.

Thanks, I also want to know. If I want to know more, I will message you here.
Yes just post a question and I'll see it, other may answer as they are quite a knowledgable bunch.

For anybody dropping in on this post and wanting to know if the ability to change guide colours is in 2.0.4 or in the 2.1.0 beta, I've just checked on the Affinity 2.1.0 development and the ability to change the colour of guides won't be in this release either by what has been commented on:
While it didn't answer your question directly @jackamus
@v_kyr reply will help others who will ask the same question and search for information. V_kyr posts are mindful of others who may not know what you know and the manual creation of guides to workaround the lack of a colour change feature within the guides manager is a valid option.

How do I change the colour of a guide?
You Can't, you can change the columns colour but not a guide.

Unicorn and Lunar do work on objects, to test create a quick shape and apply those styles.
Your styles do work in 2.0.4 To apply your styles to a text frame, select the move tool (v) and select the text frame to apply the style, now select the style from the Styles Tab.
Bear in mind I'm using Mac Monterey not Windows so there may be differences here.

With the trapezoid selected and showing the red nodes move the red node until you get a green highlight indicating the slope is at 45º
What is the use of Dropbox in Affinity Software?

Welcome to the forum @tanmayswami
Cloud storage integration, probably to see how it behaves and whether people use it from Affinity.
