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

I see that AD and AP have, not the same item positions and toolbar height. A bit inconsistent ;)

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

For AP I don't know but maybe too.

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!?! :S

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.1051344143_alignedicons.jpg.c5b5c4968676167222cf86a2213f7f73.jpg

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 … :)

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.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

@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.

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.
