Customise Tools temporarily sets Monochromatic Iconography OFF for Toolbar icons


Recommended Posts

Windows Home 1903, Designer 1.7.2.471.

When I have Monochromatic Iconography set to ON in Preferences, and then go to Customise Tools, the Toolbar icons get temporarily set back to non-monochromatic until I close the customisation panel. Not a problem particularly but I thought I’d mention it. I don’t know if this is a bug or just the way it’s supposed to work.

Also, on a related note, when Monochromatic Iconography is set to ON, the icons in the Colour, Swatches, and Stroke panels (along with the context toolbar, in places) are not monochromatic. Again, not a big problem but worth pointing out.

I don't see exactly that, but perhaps it's a terminology issue?

  • If I go to Customize Tools, then the Tools Panel icons are non-monochromatic while setting them.
  • If I go to Customize Toolbar, then the Toolbar icons are non-monochromatic while setting them.

I suspect it's intentional, and useful, but it would be good to know.

Nah, it’s just me getting my worms wrong today. (One for “The Two Ronnies” fans there.)

To be clearer (I hope), the icons get temporarily made non-monochromatic in the area that is being customised.
I.e. Customise Tools → Tool Icons are non-monochromatic, Customise Toolbar → Toolbar Icons are non-monochromatic, as you say.

I have no idea if it’s intentional or useful. I don’t use monochromatic mode normally; I was looking for an answer to something else and came across this.
