Styles: Move between categories; how to create icons

[Serif Since v1]

It would be nice to be able to move Styles from one category to another. As it is now, if you are in the wrong category when you create a Style, it is stuck there.

Also, when a new Style is created, it does not have an icon like the built-in styles (Neon, etc.). If you are displaying thumbnails instead of a list, there is nothing to indicate the presence of the newly-created style. It would be good to have the name under the thumbnail, and some kind of default image for new styles.

The ability to move styles would be nice.

For the rest: The Style names under the thumbnails have been restored in Designer Beta 1.7.2.424 and Publisher Beta 1.7.2.422 on Windows, and probably in a current or forthcoming beta on Mac.

They also have icons, though of course the icon's appearance is determined by what you have specified for the style's characteristics.

For example, here's the style I just created from a pink rectangle:

But if I create a style from an unfilled shape, that just has a simple stroke, I get this:

(The second one is from showing them in list mode.)

FWIW, the Mac retail versions of all 3 apps show style names now. In icon view, the names are still truncated to the width of the icon, so for example, the first style shown below is named "Orange Flame Burst" but not much of it shows. Not a big deal but it might be better if longer names were given more space by increasing the distance between style icons when needed.
