ldonelson Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I downloaded Affinity Designer for MAC and now have purchased Photo and Designer for my Windows machine. Same complaint all way round. The black background makes it very difficult to work. It actually hurts my eyes. PLEASE create a patch that allows for a white background. I still use my Serif Draw Plus 8 because it is that difficult for me to see and I am trying to transition to all MAC office but this is a hindrance. Otherwise nice product and I look forward to using it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 8, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hi Lela Donelson, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Thank you for your feedback. The UI will be improved for version 2.0 since it requires a considerable effort. There's also several features planned or in development until then.

JoaCHIP Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 This may be a matter of screen adjustment vs. how much ambient light is in your work place. In my opinion, the dark gray background of the UI is extremely pleasant. I think it's very well chosen, as a dark UI does not steal attention from the image itself when working with e.g. dark photos (night scenes, low key photography etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
