MaryLou Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I would like to see some kind of a contrasting color on the tabs so you can actually see them. The dark interface and the tab colors are so much alike that it's hard to see. One shouldn't have to work so hard just to see which tab is which. Maybe make the tabs all white with black text?

Hokusai Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 MaryLou, You might try the lighter U.I. that can be turned on in the Preferences. To me the tabs are a little easier to distinguish using the lighter U.I.. Best of luck, Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryLou Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 The only option I can find in the preference is the dark interface. The lighter one is in the beta and I'm not using the beta.

Hokusai Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 MaryLou, Sorry, I didn't release that the lighter U.I. preference hadn't made its way into the regular release yet. The lighter U.I. helps for somethings but even with the the lighter U.I., the tabs are still hard to see (although a little better than with the dark U.I.). I agree, they should be easier to see.

MaryLou Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 I did download the beta and loved the color. I'm used to working on the lighter color interface. I really dislike the black. It's so hard on the eyes. Looking forward to the new release so I can dig in and enjoy the program! Would be nice if they did something with the tabs - maybe an outline around each one. That would help a LOT! Quote Windows 10 Home Affinity Designer 1.6.4.104 Affinity Photo 1.6.4.104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 MaryLou, I actually like both of the U.I.'s to be honest with you. I something switch back and forth. I'm glad that the developers have opted to give us a choice. Something is needed to help make the tabs stand out and not all blend together though.

MaryLou Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 That's the problem with the tabs, they do blend together which makes it hard to see what you're doing. A nice edge around each tab would be a huge help. Put a black line around them if you're using the light interface and just the opposite if using the dark one.

247web Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Agreed - wont have to strain to see the separate tabs. Hate the dark backgrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
