mscwebmaster0413 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 New Affinity user. I REALLY hate dark mode. It's hard for me to read. I've gone into the preferences (I'm on a Mac) > User Interface > moved the sliders down on the background and artboard, and nothing is changing! Can anyone help me?

mscwebmaster0413 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 That's wonderful! Thank you! BUT, do the sliders for the background and artboard do nothing? I do like a little gray. And I clicked the option for colored icons, and they're not colored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not on the V2 app line, so can't tell if something is maybe broken here. - Did you already closed and restarted the coresponding Affinity app(s), in order to see if the made prefs changes are possibly then applied?

mscwebmaster0413 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 No, I don't have a document open. I was just setting up my interface. Okay, so the interface is essentially white or dark. No in between options, like in Adobe. I figured the color applied to those icons. Thank you for confirming. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscwebmaster0413 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Okay, I think I'm getting the hang of this. Much more learning curve to come. 🙂 jmwellborn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
