Affinity UI Suggestions


Recommended Posts

Some minor suggestions that could make the app user experience a bit nicer in my opinion. Screenshot for reference:

 

1. Why is there no separation between the various bars here? It all blends together and makes it all look like a big space-wasting blob. Also, I think the scrubber sliders don't even need a background Having just the selection handles visible, and the background completely or partially transparent (like the ruler) shouldn't affect usability but you'd get a bit more visible canvas estate.

2. I'd love an option to use the tool belt as any other studio window in the app. Any screen bigger than a laptop leaves a giant unusable gap bellow the tools so undocking them and using them as a regular studio would be nice. In my case for eg. I could dock them below the navigator and they wouldn't even use that much space but they'd be as useful as they were.

2b. Pretty sure this was already requested but collapsible studio windows Adobe style would also be great.

3. I've already commented on a different thread about this but might as well mention it here again. Please make an option to disable the hints bar. It's a complete waste of space for anyone at least a bit experienced in the app's shortcuts. I don't remember the last time I looked at it seeking help but I regularly curse it for taking away my valuable screen estate when using my MacBook without an external monitor.

 

Thanks for listening 👋
