I know I'm a bit late to the party but... a lot of videos I've watched show the file toolbar appearing and disappearing. How do I get this setting on I can't see anything vaguely like it in preferences. I'd like to do this because on my screen  the bottom icon on the left hand side is barely showing as though my screen isn't quite tall enough. If I could make the icons slightly smaller that might solve it but that doesn't seem to be an option eithor

 

Cheers and Merry Christmas

Hi Will Cain,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

This is a functionality provided by the macOS itself (on Apple Macs) not Affinity Photo and as such is not available on Windows: clicking on the green circle on the top left of the application window will switch the program to Full Screen mode (macOS only).

Are you referring to the bottom icon on the Tools Panel? If so, you can customize what appears in it, including the number of columns it uses, via the View menu > "Customize Tools..." item. Using two or more columns should shorten it enough that no icon is at the bottom of the screen & as a 'bonus' you get an always present color swatch chooser like the one in the Color Studio panel.

 

For example, this is the customized two column Tools Panel I sometimes use with Affinity Designer's Draw Persona:

Note also that like all the other panels this can be undocked so you can move it to any convenient screen location on the fly as you work.
