Palette icons for 'Font UI Size: Large' and multiple palette columns?

[icreate]

I tend to struggle with the small text in many applications UI and really like that Affinity let us increase the font size for the UI.

One thing I do find is that when I have more than two palettes docked together its very hard to read things like 'Character' and 'Paragraph', for example…

…becomes…

Of course, one way around this is to have less palettes docked together and/or make the palette wider, but on smaller screens I don't have enough space to display them all vertically and if I make it wider there's not much room for the artwork without toggling the visibility of the palettes all the time. Indesign has a feature (below) where you can start a new column next to the main palettes and this is one thing which Publisher is missing:

One way around it would be to have an option to turn on/off icons for the palettes instead of the text. That way its easier to identify the palette you want.

This is just my thoughts on the UI - its almost there, but I think we really need either multiple palette columns or icons for crammed palettes - when you're using something every day for your business little niggles like this can really get annoying!

Keep up the good work folks!

Yes, I also miss the possibility of minimizing control panels in this way and reducing them to symbols.

I wish there was a way to set up a preferred docked set of Studio Panels which I use every time I start a new document and keeping them as a personal preset.   The reset studio is fine, but only includes some of the options I want regularly (i.e. text frames, glyphs, effects).   Wish I could make my own Restore Studio preset.   Every so often, while swiping to the desktop for a file, I manage to swipe my docked panel off to the great beyond.

Yes, we really need multiple column palette options that dock together. I am lost without this option. I agree with Michail and the screenshot he shared.
