jmwellborn Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I know that the Help instructions are preliminary, but there appears to be a discrepancy. The instructions say "As a useful visual aid, symbols are indicated by an vertical orange bar on their layer entries in the Layers panel. If a symbolized object has been edited when unsynchronized a dashed orange bar is shown instead." I am using a MAC Sierra, Retina display. I have attached a screen shot of my Layers panel when I was working with the Symbols panel. The orange bar seems to be missing. Tiny little detail.

Alfred Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 You have grey bars where I would expect to see the orange ones.

walt.farrell Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 You seem to have groups showing (or, at least, complex objects with nesting of some kind), which may make a difference. What do you see if you expand them? Also, if you have Designer installed, is this consistent with what you see there? -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.3, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi jmwellborn This is due to being in Light UI, Our current apps exhibit the same behaviour. On Windows the orange is kept in light UI but can be slightly more difficult to see. As light UI was made on Mac first,, I image i is windows that need updating here Cheers Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love the Symbols Panel! Also Light UI!! Doesn’t matter at all whether the bars are gray or orange. What matters is the way all the images can be edited in one swoop. When the HELP team gets to that point in their documentation, they could possibly state something to the effect that “either a vertical gray or an orange bar, depending upon the user’s operating system.” That would help us “reading learners” as we discover the many extraordinary possibilities with Publisher.
