Wireless Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Just bought Designer v1.7, and then bought Frankentoon Propaganda Design Kit v1.5. The combination is challenging in the default UI 'DARK' setting. As can be seen in attached snapshot, both the ASSETS and the STYLES exhibit such low contrast as to be almost impossible to identify and select. Am I right that the only choice in Designer is to change to a UI 'LIGHT' setting? Personally I find this overpowering and tiring to use for any length of time. I find the Affinity default assets and styles easy enough to use, so would you take the view that this is an issue for the Frankentoon team rather than Affinity? PS Otherwise, I'm absolutely delighted in my recent purchase of the Affinity trio of Desktop Applications. Quote
Sara72 Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Hi, You could try increase the Gamma UI which might help see the assets and styles better, i have it quite high so i can see the black indents when anything is selected. Also not a fan of the light UI, strains my eyes. Quote
Wireless Posted July 5, 2019 Author Posted July 5, 2019 summersara Ta for suggestion. Tried setting the gamma to full up but made little difference. Yes, changing the UI to 'LIGHT' mode is a partial answer, but honestly - can you see the Frankentoon icons in the attached?? My problem is that the assets are actually quite useful - see the two shapes in the attached - a simple graphic plus a Frankentoon mask and some 3D/Emboss, and you end up with something quite useful. I have an email response today from the Frankentoon products specialist who believes that the issue is with Affinity to fix as it has been raised with them already.......... Quote
Sara72 Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 I'm Guessing Frankentoon's expectations were that they should show like the brushes and change to either black or white depending on the UI settings: Quote
