TanBrae Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 But, when I watch tutorials online, the icons for the producers are colored. What's up??? This happened after the latest upgrade. And, btw, I bought the V2, but have to wait for a newer computer to be able to use it. Looking forward to it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_M Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hi, You can change how the icons look from the preferences menu: Edit -> Preferences... -> User Interface -> Icon Style.

PaulEC Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Note that most icons/tools will be greyed out if you don't have anything open in the app. Alex_M 1 Quote Acer XC-895 : Core i5-10400 Hexa-core 2.90 GHz : 32GB RAM : Intel UHD Graphics 630 : Windows 10 Home Affinity Publisher 2 : Affinity Photo 2 : Affinity Designer 2 : (latest release versions) on desktop and iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joy! I don't even have the "Icon Style" option. I'm using what I thought was the most current updated version - 1.10.5. At least, that was the last update I was notified about. I'm off to check!

I just re-downloaded AP from the App Store. Still no joy. It is 1.10.5 version, with no updates for it showing in the App store. Prior to .5 version, the icons were in color.

walt.farrell Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 That really does look like you have monochrome icons selected in your app's Preferences. It should be in the User Interface section. Perhaps show us a screenshot of that?

Please see below the option in Version 1. Hopefully this works!

Apparently, it did not, and I didn't even think to check that Monochromatic Iconography. DUH! Alex_M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
