Ammar Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 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 !

Ammar Posted October 5, 2023 Author Posted October 5, 2023 Also the indentation is very little you can hardly see it specially on high resolution screens chessboard 1 Quote
chessboard Posted March 6, 2024 Posted March 6, 2024 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. Quote

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