SymbioticDesign Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 If you just added a Big UI option, when people move to 6k or 8k high resolution screens, you would just see more requests for even bigger UI icons like in the menus and toolbar. But if you added a scalable UI, people like me who are older and those who are partially sight impaired would have a much easier time. I remember the warning I was told about upgrading my Windows PC monitor from 1080P to 4K, the person said my icons would shrink in size and I might have some difficulty (since I was already expressing that with not seeing another UI element, a dropdown menu because my screen display is set at 110%). But now I move from my 2018 16GB i5 Windows 10 laptop over to my 2011 32GB iMac and I am not recognizing where everything is, everything is so tiny on this what, 5k high-resolution screen. I might just have to move back to Windows, and I really don't want to do that, as Publisher crashes too much for my sanity on the Windows platform. Not a lot, but one crash is still way too much for me. This is not System 7, Windows 95 or Amiga 2.1, I need reliability and I am hoping to find it on the Apple platform. So please, please, please, set that up as a preference with a scalable icons and text UI. Your UX nuts (like me) will love you for it.

RCNisbet Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 PLEASE, PLEASE, I TOTALLY AGREE - bigger icons would be SO helpful. Since I am still learning the programs, and struggling to see the icons it makes it a bit more difficult and frustrating. If the icons were similar in size to most other programs (like double what they are currently) it would be very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinelk Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'm new to Affinity, but it looks like people have been requesting the option to increase the size of tool icons since at least as far back as 2016, and were told to say so in Feature Requests & Suggestions. So, I'll add my voice--that'd be very nice. While an option to increase the size of all the icons would be great, even if there were a simple toggle, like they have for text, to double the size of the icons for tools, that would be very helpful.
