Apps: All
Platforms: iPad

The iPad versions now have the option to hide the layer type icon (i.e. the icons which denote if a layer is pixel, image, curve, etc.) in the Layers panel. It is available in the burger menu of the Layers panel - and the option to check on or off "Show Object Type".

Thank you so much for this feature. This is something I wanted since v2 was released. One, the object type icon shouldn't be in the same box as the ">" collapse icon, two, you had 2 icons(object type icon and > icon) in the same box under each other, and three is that these 2 icons are on each layer so with several layers you just had several small icons on every layer that are not pleasing for the eye to see. So being able to hide the object type icon makes things cleaner. Thank you.

Personally, I like the object-type icons. 

  1. If you have named the layer, they are the only way to tell what kind of layer you have, except for hovering the mouse over the space where they would be. And hovering the "mouse" doesn't work on the iPad. So they are the only way on the iPad.
  2. Once you're used to their meanings, it's faster to use them visually to identify layer types, than to hover (where hovering works).
