R.I.P. Affinity 26.03.2024 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Is it possible to add lil space to put between the colors? Or any other way to group them somehow? I've been using the same color as a studio background's one. But its not that good. Quote 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loukash Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Change the Appearance of the Swatches panel.

I just asked about space to put between colors to separate them. We got similar space in Toolbar, or separator in Tools. 🤷♂️ Quote 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have asked for "any other way to group them somehow", and the list view is an "other way to group them somehow". Or you can make the swatches large in the regular view. 9 minutes ago, darwinwasright said: space to put between colors to separate them Agreed, that would be a good option. Frankly, I've never found this swatch view useful – not in Adobe apps and not in Affinity apps – that's why I prefer the list view. 14 minutes ago, darwinwasright said: similar space in Toolbar, or separator in Tools These are technically different UI sections and elements, so from a developer's point of view, I don't think it's as easy as "copying" the spacer element over to the Swatches panel.

loukash Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Just now, darwinwasright said: But its not grouping them Yet another way to group them is simply creating new palettes. ~~~ By the way, Apple's own Color Picker palette used to allow free grouping of swatches wherever you placed them, so you could create logical groups on a grid. This screenshot is my global palette from El Capitan: ^ That's my swatches collection that I'm maintaining since literally about two decades now, copying the corresponding file from old installations to the new ones. But eventually, Apple in its "infinite wisdom" removed the possibility to place swatches freely in the bottom section, now they are simply listed in the "first come first serve" order (no screenshot at the moment; I'd have to reboot the Mac from a Catalina partition for that). Highly annoying. Of course it's not the only reason why I'm sticking with El Capitan, but it definitely also adds to my decision that the newer MacOS versions suck. laptopleon 1 Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
