anonymized2 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I know there is the monochromatic icons option for the UI but this isnt enough, Tool icons look very "clip art-ish" and too colourfull. On big resolution monitors they don't scale very properly and they look even worse. My idea is to make them more flatish, cleaner and possibly having a single accent colour.

LilleG Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 There are a number of us who need all the color and contrast and definition in the tools icons that we can get in order to be able to use the programs with anything approaching efficiency. (Hunching forward and squinting slows you down!) I'm all for the monochrome tools for those who prefer them but please leave the colorful, easily identifiable icons alone. Some of us not only prefer but need them. hawk, Alfred, Robert22 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renée Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 So I started with coloured tools - then they turned monochromatic grey - don't know how I did this, or how it happened, but I would like the coloured tool Icons back. Suggestions please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixx Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 True that toolbox icons are not very clearly identifiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us not only prefer but need them. I agree. It's difficult for me to see the tools and tool text in the UI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorin.jurcut Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I don't think so,icons are more of a personal preference. The gradient tool though, could use a bit of work, but other than that, changing icons is a non issue. Every tool has its particularities, and every tool will have a different UI. I think the Affinity team did a good job of having the UI similar to PS to make transition easier, which is awesome in my book. Copying the UI all-together just because people find it difficult to readjust is something else entirely.
