TheNapCat Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 The selected tool in the tool bar is accented with a darker background from a dark background. I look at the toolbar to see which tool I have selected. At a glance I can't tell. Please accent or the selected tool more.

Alfred Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @TheNapCat. The lack of contrast is unfortunately quite a common complaint. Try changing the UI appearance.

TheNapCat Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 I have the UI in dark mode (which really helps my eyes - I have a big bright 4K monitor). Just a light outline or some other accent would help a lot. pellelil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pellelil Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Second that. An option in preferences to show a thin white outline for the selected tool-icon would make it much more easy to see which tool is active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like dark mode for everything except I can't see at glance what is selected. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
