For the Flood Select Tool there are buttons with icons in the context toolbar, whereas for the Marquee Tool there are buttons with text in the context toolbar. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed
walt.farrell Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 It's not new in the Beta, though, so might be better posted in the general questions part of the forums Hmm. It is different, as Michail notes below.

Sorry; I looked, and saw it the same on 1.8 and 1.9 beta, but I must have been in the wrong window and looked at 1.9 both times.

Staff Chris B Posted December 16, 2020 Staff Posted December 16, 2020 Ah I see what you mean. I'm not entirely sure why we use icons for Flood and labels for marquee—I'll ask dev. How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials

I'm not entirely sure why we use icons for Flood and labels for marquee—I'll ask dev. Because it's only like this in the beta, I have only one explanation: you want to exchange the labels for icons in perspective. Someone started it and then the doorbell rang 😎. I think icons are better and more space efficient, but they could be a little bit bigger. Chris B and Wosven 2
Staff Chris B Posted December 18, 2020 Staff Posted December 18, 2020 I think we should definitely pick one and stick with it. I'll log the inconsistency. I personally prefer labels so I don't have to remember all the different icons but I think icons would be the preferred choice by most!

Wosven Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Labels are easier to understand, but we can have more icons, and it would help not having elements disappearing on the right of the screen, needing to click on arrows! Icons with labels diplayed fastly would be nice.
