Rob Bye Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Eyesight isn't what it once was, so I'd find it handy to be able to increase the size of the icons on the toolbar. Also, I have to hover my curser over each icon to cause a text bubble to appear. Until I learn all the icons, is there any way to display text near them? thanks! Quote
Staff MEB Posted June 2, 2015 Staff Posted June 2, 2015 Hi Rob Bye, Welcome to Affinity Forums. Go to menu View -> Customise Toolbar... and on the dropdown on the bottom left (Show) select Icon and Text. It doesn't display the name of all icons individually but identifies all the sections which should help a little. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Rob Bye Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks. I had tried that, and adding the text does help, but the icons are still way too small. I wish they were more than double in size. Surely that's a fix requiring only a few lines of code... Quote
retrograde Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I'd like to see them revisited as well, not only beefed up (they seem a little too "fine" to me at the moment) but also a little more iconic. The Action icons in particular are too similar - 1st, 2nd and 4th - I think they should all be distinctive... I've been using the app for months now and I still have to hover to make sure I'm clicking the right icon. Sorry guys...

Couldn't agree more -- and specifically would like to see an option to enlarge the vertical tools icons down the left side. This is critical for me. It slows the workflow too much to squint at the tools icons to figure which is which and before selecting. Also agree that adding an "enlarge icon" option doesn't seem to be a difficult fix. Thanks for considering. manu schwendener 1 Quote
amergin Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I've said this before on other posts, please, PLEASE, PLEASE allow us to enlarge the icons and fonts in the UI. There are options in preferences to supposedly increase these but their largest size is still laughably small for a 27" retina iMac. I have bought Affinity Designer and would also buy Affinity Photo but I quite literally cannot use them. Quote
