In both Photo and Designer Beta 1736, the little brush icon no longer appears.  Example screenshots of Photo 2.0.3 and Photo Beta 1736 below.

Seems to be working as expected in Monterey so unsure if it's OS version specific... :)

You also seem to be missing the Dot for visibility in the beta 1736. I guess due to the width of the Layers panel. That seems to be a known bug. 

Works fine here with the betas 1736 on Mac OS 11.7

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Except that @Old Bruce is also using MAC OS 11.7.  I am on v. 11.7.4.  Just updated my signature.

@jmwellborn, have you tried a factory reset for .1736?

Hi jmwellborn,

This is a direct result of the issue Old Bruce has mentioned above whereby the items at the end of each layer go missing when the Layers Panel is too wide. A simple rescale of the Layers Panel width to be smaller will bring them back.

It is quite erratic.  If I drag the layers panel back to the smaller width and then out again, the brush icons show.  And having done that once, I can then open a new document with my Preset already at a wider panel width, and the icons do show.  Both Designer and Photo.  Definitely a bug.

The issue "Layer Visibility toggles won't show if you make the Layers Panel wider" (REF: AFP-5740) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.1.0.1742".
This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.
