Affinity Beta Toolbar icons: Inconsistent position and size (split)

[ajharok]

I see that AD and APh have, not the same item positions and toolbar height. A bit inconsistent
For APu I don't know but maybe too.

[ajharok]

To be more consistent with macOS toolbar design (gradient), maybe take out the lightning and have just from one to second color gradient.

Left simple gradient like macOS is using it and right AD/AP now.

On my non-retina iMac the heights & vertical positions are the same. Are you maybe using a Mac with a retina display?

The icons in both applications were being updated. Here's a side-by-side of Photo 1.7.0.101 against Designer 1.7.0.3 showing they're the same now. Thanks for bringing it to our attention though - if it wasn't an area we were in the middle of changing then it would've been very worrying indeed!?!

Great

@MattP I did update the AP to 1.7.0.101 the misalignment is still there.

I look at it at an external 2k monitor, not retina.

Maybe it is different on Mojave … on Sierra, I can confirm the misalignment … no Retina display …

The App icons are different size and position too in the latest betas.

They are aligned on my Retina display and MattP's Retina display, but you are getting a difference in scaling on a non-Retina display.

They are also aligned on my non-Retina 27" iMac running High Sierra.

Tried on my MBP13 retina and my not retina external monitor and they are not aligned. I'm on 10.14.1 Mojave

Interesting.

Are you able to post a screenshot of the whole of your top bar in Photo? We're wondering if you've ever modified the buttons on there, or if they happen to trigger a 'more' button if they would fall off the end of the window on your Mac? We're not seeing the issue here on our devices, so just trying to get as much info as possible - thanks!

Okay, it seems I was able to fix this alignment issue on my computer. This did the trick:

• Removed all buttons and spaces from the toolbar
• Closed the app
• Reopened the app
• Misalignment was gone (A)
• Brought standard buttons back
• Everything perfect, even after closing and relaunching the app (B)

Hope that will give you a clue …

FWIW, there was no More … button that could have caused the issue.

Do you have a document open in Photo, I ask because it appears that Publisher and Designer do have documents open. I can't tell with Photo.

[ajharok]

@Old Bruce i opened all Apps, one document open in every one but the problem is there.
As you can see, there are misalignments and different icon sizes between the Apps.

Have you tried my fix? Does it work?

Did not try, because I see that, AF, AP have a different icon size than APublisher. If you look at my last screengrab you will see it clearly. So Serif has to fix this

[mac_heibu]

Yes, it is so extremely heavy to try A_B_Cs proposal. It will take you hours! If this fix should work for you, the team has one more clue for fixing measures. If you deny assisting, may we know, what is your intention for taking part in prerelease testing?

[ajharok]

@mac_heibu don't know what your problem is but I did write just what is not ok, showed it 10x times and the fix that A_B_C will not fix the problem that the icons are a different size in the apps.  The misalignment is a second thing that is not ok.

Did a test now if I select show icons and text, both apps are aligned ok.

[A_B_C]

As far as I can see, Designer and Photo have the same persona icon size, while the persona icons in Publisher are slightly larger. But Publisher is still “more beta” than the other two apps, so I would perhaps expect that something like that should happen … at least, the developers will know now …

If you don't try it, how can you know what it will do?

More to the point, since they can't duplicate this problem at Affinity, if you do try it & report here whatever it or does not do, that will help them find & eliminate the cause.

[ajharok]

With the latest beta (1.7.0.102) of AP the icons are ok and everything is aligned.
