RoraRaptor Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 In Affinity Photo on iPad 8th generation I find the extra menu at the bottom very distracting when I don't actually want to use it. Is there any way to hide it? I can hide all the other toolbars, but that box is always visible, and it's driving me nuts. Thank you for helping me out. - Rora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoraRaptor Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Ah, I just found someone else's issues where one of the replies demonstrated exactly how to do this. In case someone in the future struggles to figure this out just like I did, you simply double tap the fullscreen button (top-right), and it hides the bottom toolbar as well. 😋 Edited January 21, 2021 by RoraRaptor explained where the fullscreen button can be found DM1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunk Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Sure double tap it... but then you move your handpalm across the panel and the menu pops right back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still room for improvement at least, it sounds like. 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can drag my palm across screen without invoking context menu. RoraRaptor 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB  lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Yes I have, it does sometimes react to handpalm. But when you touch the screen with the Apple Pencil 2 (probably any pen) it always pops right back. They should just give the option to move the toolbar to left or top side.... problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted December 8, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 8, 2022 Hi @Valorheartstrife, Welcome to affinity Forum The context toolbar varies according to the tool selected. In the screenshot above it's displaying the context toolbar for the Paint Brush Tool in Affinity Photo V1. Selecting the tools is enough to display it. If you are using Affinity Photo V2, the context toolbar is located on the top of the screen after the first group of icons (Affinity Photo Persona, Document, Commands and Selection buttons).
