Hi and welcome to the forums @Bha

 Check and make sure the View menus shows these items are checked

Affinity Designer 1.10.5 | Affinity Photo 1.10.5 | Affinity Publisher 1.10.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

After updating to 1.9.2

It is definitely not related to the update. For example, did you press TAB or some other keyboard shortcut to turn off toolbars?

I have the same problem after my update to 1.9.3. Regardless of how many times i uncheck/check  "Show Toolbar" in the View menu, the toolbardoes not show up. Same goes for the context toolbar.

I use Studio in separated mode, and earlier the toolbar has sometimes been lurking under the massive amount of tool panels on my second monitor - but not this time. The toolbar is truly nowhere to be seen. And resetting Studio did not help.

It might help to see a screenshot of your Affinity workspace, including the View menu.

A couple of possible fixes:

  1. Preferences, Miscellaneous: Reset User Defaults. Or,
  2. Hold the Ctrl key while you're starting the application. When the Clear User Data dialog comes up, release the Ctrl key. Leave the first 3 options selected, and click Clear.

Interesting: When I chose "Customize Toolbar" the toolbar suddenly slided in from "above" and "left" of my second monitor. So it WAS there,  just off-screen. 

The solution was to toggle the resolution of the second monitor - this moved the toolbar to my main monitor. Problem solved.

I often got the missing toolbar back on screen by choosing "Customize Toolbar…". It forces the missing UI item to reappear by its additional options window which sticks to the toolbar. This enables you to move bar + window.

Once setup use menu View > "Studio Presets" to save your setting to recall it if needed.

Just like Reset Studio, the Reset Workspace command would probably be needed.

No amount of resetting the app (option key on a Mac),

Can another Mac user comment on that, please?

Prior posts have indicated that the "reset" for both the Windows and Mac versions uses the Ctrl key during startup.

Ok, I misread that to keeping a key down when opening the app by clicking the app icon. Doing that with option/alt did however reset something, At least the licence info and the initial starting window (which I usually dismiss with "Don't show this") popped up anew.

On mac it might depend in what view you click, e.g. Finder, Dock, Launcher.

To me the OPT key causes other apps getting hidden while the launching app's windows become the only visible – whereas clicking a dock icon of an open app hides this app.

To get the additional window with the app reset options on app launch I need to CTRL-click the app icon in a finder window + choose 'Open' + still pressing the CTRL key.

An easy and pretty much "non-destructive" way to reset the hidden elements is to temporarily change the display resolution:
System Preferences > Display > Scaled > click something else then the selected value, then switch back to native.

Works for me on MacBook Pro after using the separated mode on an external display in my studio.
