mcpete Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hi. Here's my problem. I'm on a macbook and I connect to a 27in apple display. I was working on Affinity Designer with my macbook connected to the display at the office. Now I'm home and I'm just working off the laptop, I opened Designer and there are no tool bars or panels on the screen. I've tried using the the View menu to toggle them off and on, but they are still not visible. I selected customise toolbar and it became visible, but then after pressing ok it disappears again. I thinking the problem is AD is remembering the location of the toolbars on my 27in display which is way bigger than my laptop screen and positioning them offscreen when I'm not connecting to it. Anyone know how to fix this? I've already restarted my macbook and I won't be in the office for a couple of days, so can't just hook back up to the display to rearrange them. thanks Pete Matthewurgef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpete Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 I've also tried the Studio Reset command, which didn't resolve the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimGoshorn Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Did you try resetting the preferences by holding down the control key when you open Designer? It presents you with a dialog with preferences to reset. Wish there was a save preferences option for times like this. mcpete and DanielSoares 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 6, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hi mcpete, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Doing an app reset as @JimGoshorn suggested should solve your issue. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpete Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Perfect, that worked! Greatly appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeffdaley Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Has there been a fix since 2015 that doesn't involve resetting the app settings? I don't want to (nor think I should) lose my studio setup, shortcuts, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to (nor think I should) lose my studio setup, shortcuts, etc. I was able to work around this on macOS by plugging back into my external display and using the "mirror displays" function within macOS's system settings. This allowed me to grab and reattach the studio palette before I returning to dual-display mode. Seems like a bug to fix though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
