Bryce Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I'm not sure if I'm missing a setting, but in the layers studio panel I have a hard time seeing because it is "grey text on a grey background". I've turned on the high contrast setting in interface and it seems to effect every panel except for layers. Didn't have this problem in V1. What am I missing? BTW - V2.1 is fantastic and I appreciate all Serif's work and those who help out on these forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is duplicate information about the layer icon and its hint/tooltip.

Bryce Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 it seems to be only the layers pallet that this effects. It wouldn't be too bad on a regular screen, but when you have many layers on a 4k screen, it's not always easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 that does do better, but I really can't handle dark mode very long. I don't mind for photos but design is just too dark and gives a feeling of tunnel vision. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
