sansnom Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Hello, there are visual aspects of the Layers Palette that bother me a bit. Oh, nothing major, but hey... Since working with Adobe suite software (since discontinued) and now Affinity suite (with great pleasure), Cinema4D and other graphics software, I have always placed the layers palette on the edge right from my screen (today a BenQ PD2700U 4K). A habit... Unfortunately, the layer color tag is very close to the edge and is thus obscured by the thickness of the edge of the screen which has a shadow (see attached screenshot “Oops1.jpg”). Not comfortable at all!... Moreover, the scroll bar hides the color tag (see attached screenshot “Oops2.jpg”). Last suggestion: the automatic naming of new layers does not place a space between the word “Layer” and its number. With an isolated layer number, a single double click on it would allow you to edit it directly, without altering the word “Layer”. See attached screenshot “Options.jpg”... Otherwise, I especially noticed that with several files open at the same time, the focus on the layers of the palette did not stay at the same level when changing the foreground file. Moreover, during a layer grouping, it would certainly be very comfortable for the user to have the focus on the newly created group... Edited July 18, 2023 by sansnom Complement...

Staff Dan C Posted July 18, 2023 Staff Share Posted July 18, 2023 Hi @sansnom, Thanks for your feedback here! 1 hour ago, sansnom said: Moreover, the scroll bar hides the color tag (see attached screenshot “Oops2.jpg”) I can confirm that this specifically is controlled by your macOS scrollbar settings - likely you currently have this set to either Show Scroll bars: 'Automatically based on mouse or trackpad' or 'When scrolling'. With 'Automatically based on mouse or trackpad' enabled, if you're using a Trackpad this will hide the Layers scrollbar until you scroll, at which point it will appear over the top of the Colour Tags. If you're using a physical mouse, scroll bars will always be present (or if you have the option 'Always' enabled in macOS settings). The 'When scrolling' option basically forces these scroll bars to do the first option all the time, regardless of the input device. If you set your macOS setting to Show Scroll Bars 'Always' then the app will always leave a space for the scrollbar and prevent any overlapping with the Colour Tag. As for your other suggestions here, I will be sure to move this post to our Feedback section of the forums, for our devs to see and consider implementing these changes in the future. I hope this helps Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
