Menu Icon AND Text

[espionage]

Hi there,

As a beginner to Affinity (Designer), the learning curve is high. Is there a way to show both the ICON and the TEXT associated to it for the menus so that we can recognize it more easily? I don't have any muscle memory to remember what each of the icons mean/do/etc.

Welcome to the Forums @espionage😊  I am not quite sure what you mean, but if you will hover your mouse over each tool, a descriptor will pop up.  If you are referring to the icons up on the Context Toolbar you can go to VIEW> then scroll down to click on CUSTOMIZE TOOLBAR, and when that window opens you will find a little block down at the left hand corner which says "Show Icon".  If you click on the tiny down arrow you have the option of "Show Icon and Text."

I hope this is what you are looking for, and that this helps.
