  @VectorStyler Following up on this topic. Sometimes I've noticed the "x's" being the same color as the layer color - but more often than not, they are always black, even when I adjust the layer color.

  @b77 for the Quick Panel Icons i like that the Combine Icon (from Boolean) and the Composite Icon are a bit different and find the "Select and transform members of grouped Objects" Icon very well made

  @Victor-Vector Docking too many panels into one place can be problematic. I will try to improve this.

  @VectorStyler You have my permission, of course! Here is the file attached. I am a bit embarrassed, as I used Photoshop as a shortcut to create the icon transparency. I did this to keep the assets non-destructive so I could change stroke weights, object arrangements, etc., in case fixes were needed. If you wish, I can finalize them, expanding the strokes, combine them so the vector versions have the transparency, just let me know! Selection Icons 2.vstyler

  @Igull said in Unlock icon symbol idea for the layers panel: I might borrow the house TV and see how that goes ... I might borrow the house TV and see how that goes ... would say it works well i use actually a 40-inch Samsung TV Monitor ... but can sometimes be a little over-crisp for general line drawing ... That is the reason why I came up with this idea. While my eyesight is ok, I found this combination a little more relaxing to work with vector curves and nodes.

  @VectorStyler ok, I understand what you were intending. Speaking for myself, I'm big on redundancy and making sure everything is accurate. It would be helpful to quickly know what palette is open - for both the document palette and the color bar secondary palette. At one point there was a tooltip on the color bar palette that gave you the name of it but that does not seem to be there now. (unless I missed it)

  Could halves and quarters be added to size presets options?

  @Boldline I'm not sure a new tool would help with this case. The problem is that when using the node tool, it will (by default) go inside groups and in VS, clipped content are just groups with shapes. I will try to figure out a better workflow for this.

  making switching between default and custom preferences even easier

  @Boldline said in Vector cylinder tool: such as the 3D extrude tool and another where i referenced an astute graphics option to pull out a 3D look... I wasn't aware this had been asked for, this is a definite +1 for me (a 3D extrude tool - with optional camera angles pretty please ), I pull stuff from VS into Fusion 360 or Sketchup regularly to do exactly that - I don't need a real 3D model version, just the look of it.

  @Boldline Because of the Chat GPT, Midjorney and others. See a time coming when they will be able to create vector graphics on command. I find it more satisfying to figure things out myself and that goes for scripting as well. "Processing" (free, Mac, Win) is one of the most mature ways to program vector graphic designs i have found. Has a lot of Examples, where someone is able to learn the code he need. Has also many Examples build in. Here theire Website https://processing.org/ and here OpenProcressing a Library with many Examples https://openprocessing.org/browse/# I used it once to create random graphics in a PDF file, for inspiration. Here are a few pages of it. Made a error in a loop that cause that the PDF-File has 728 Pages
