Pete6000 Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 Some assets are very hard to see. I know it doesn't have to be this way because in Pageplus I never had this problem using identical assets. There seem to be three main issues: 1) The icon shows only a portion of the asset 2) The icons are too small 3) Dark objects are hard to see. (I shouldn't have to switch between light and dark modes just for this...) For example, look at the asset below. This has an arrowhead at the other end of the line, but you can't tell. (In fact, it's hard to see there's a line there at all unless I turn my screen brightness up). Please could this be addressed? Thanks, Quote

This has been already addressed: https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Panels/assetsPanel.html Quote The following options are available from panel preferences: […] Background — allows you to set the background color for the panel. This is useful for better in-panel assets preview.

Pete6000 Posted February 22, 2024 Author Posted February 22, 2024 Thanks, this is helpful for the background - I should have found this before. I think the other two points are still issues though! Quote

The panel UI is still not the "greatest achievement" of the Serif UI team (even though there are even worse offenders in Affinity… ) I don't use the Assets panel much, but my preferred setting is as list, checkerboard background.
