austint30 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I am trying the Beta of Affinity Designer for Windows and I really love it! It's great for someone like me who just cannot afford Photoshop or Illustrator. However I am having one issue. It is difficult to see your cursor crosshair in dark backgrounds because the crosshair is black. Why is it black with no white outlines? I can't see the crosshair when there is a dark background behind it! It makes it hard to see what I'm doing. I have looked in the preferences and I just cannot find any option to change the colors. Affinity, please consider this request and please add a white outline around the crosshair, or have the crosshair use the inverted colors from the background.

Staff Chris B Posted October 3, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi austint30, If you go to Preferences > User Interface and change the Background Grey Level, does this help at all? Thanks Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Monson Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Yes, Cris. I have done this, but the darker background is much easier on my eyes. It would be helpful if we were to have a choice as austin30 mentioned above. Not a big problem for us but nevertheless helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Which cursor are you referring to? I just looked at the crosshair cursor (when brush nozzles get too small), and it does have black and white lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Which cursor are you referring to? I just looked at the crosshair cursor (when brush nozzles get too small), and it does have black and white lines. If you select one of the Shape Tools you get a black crosshair cursor. It does have a faint grey outline, but that isn't really enough to make it easily visible against a dark background.

Jim Monson Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I referring to the normal text cursor when attempting to find the cursor in a curved line of art text, and also quite often in a frame text depending on the background of the text. It is not impossible but takes some looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
