Is there a way to turn of any kind of cursor for painting tools when used with stylus/pen?

[chessboard]

Well, the headline almost says it all 😉. I would prefer to haven't any cursor or brush outline when drawing with a Wacom Cintiq stylus. I find them more of a hindrance because the tip of the stylus is already enough to mark the spot where you are painting. Brush preview as well as crosshair always cover the part of the image that's currently in focus while drawing/painting. After all, there is no cursor on paper either.😉

I turned off "Show bursh previews" and "Always show brush crosshair" in Preferences->User Interface. But there's still a crosshair visible with the painting tools.

I think, this question is perhaps more a kind of a feature request, but as I learned so far, some things are a little bit hidden in the Affintiy apps. So chances are, that there's possibly a way to turn all the painting cursors off after all.

Unfortunately as you've hypothesised this feature isn't available in Affinity currently, the brush outline itself will always be visible as there's no way to disable this at this time, my apologies.

I will move this thread to the feedback section of our forums now and add an extra 'vote' to our internal development suggestion logs for this feature, as I'm aware it's been requested previously. I hope this helps

Thanks, @Dan C!
