Hi,

With the new pound sign or rectangle on the left side of layers name in layer panel things became very annoying and confused, we even can't distinguish if layer is open or closed and if the laters below its name are sub layers or main layers, before it was better !

Regards

You mean Expanded or Collapsed,

or Show/Active vs Hide/Inactive?

I am not familiar with this symbol for indicating the type of layer - it is not even listed in the Help.

You mean layer indent and bar for nesting indication?

If you don't like the new icons on the layers in the Layers Panel you can access the hamburger menu in that Layers Panel and untick Show Object Type

I would like to bring this up again. Especially on Hires-Screens the indentation is much to small. A larger indent would be much better for better readability. An option to set the width of the indent would be best. And more colours could help to here. For example, according to the selected layer the vertical bars could also be colored.

I personally suggested something like this:

Also the indentation is very little you can hardly see it specially on high resolution screens

I also think the indentation is too small.

Since some people probably like that i would suggest making it configurable.
