felipe_g Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Right now, what irritates me the most about Affinity Photo is how quickly the layer window gets crowded when I have many groups and layers. I often struggle to find my way around and get lost, especially when Im trying to switch off parts of the document. PLEASE give us MORE options to customize the UI!!!!

felipe_g Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 We need a better way to visualise groups and layers!!! As is, this is not ok!! The tiny offset between group and layers inside the group is not enough!! Also, the small rectangle on the right for Color, is not visible enough!!!

felipe_g Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Suggestion 01: increase the offset between group and layers inside group!!!

felipe_g Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 I know not everyone would want this, but make the UI costumizable so that we have more options such as this Ezbaze 1 Quote Windows 11 Pro, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, B550M Aorus Elite MB, 64GB RAM, MSI RTX3060 12GB Affinity Photo V2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How should Layers that have a different color than the Tag be colored? The colours are just an example to visualize what I was talking about. The idea is to make the color difference more prominent, not just that little thin rectangle in the corner. Obviously that GROUT group would be red, I just coloured everything quickly to make a point Quote Windows 11 Pro, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, B550M Aorus Elite MB, 64GB RAM, MSI RTX3060 12GB Affinity Photo V2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it would be more interesting to better highlight the nesting using the recoloring of the vertical lines.

felipe_g Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 The whole idea is to give us more options. Just like the limited customization tools they already have, just expanded so we can use it if we want to Let us go crazy with colours and offsets so we can better visualize the layers panel Quote Windows 11 Pro, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, B550M Aorus Elite MB, 64GB RAM, MSI RTX3060 12GB Affinity Photo V2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
