@monsterfox I will try to fix this

@marce I will try to find out what can cause this

@Boldline This is a great idea about collecting tips and tricks on this topic. And I really do hope that you are able to make some videos on these tools specifically. If I recall you have been central to bringing about things like the Bezigon tool. I remember really liking it in Freehand but so far it doesn't click for me in VS. Maybe it's that after creating the curves they are normal Bezier handles instead of staying the type of automatic curving that the Freehand version created.

@shomnipotence That looks awesome

@VectorStyler said in Expand Group Opacity question shows no difference: @William-Kansepa For some settings changes you may need to reopen the document (and for others, restart the app) I think that could be the reason why it was refusing to work. Maybe an indication to mark that a certain setting requires a restart after editing it? Other software have an asterisk to indicate restart.

@Li-Xiao I will add this to the features backlog. It is doable, but I have to think how to have this in the UI

@William-Kansepa said in update 1.3.015: Am getting same result whether the option is checked or unchecked. I will test this more. The option name should be "Allow Ungrouping of Clipping Groups"

I haven't restarted VS as yet and the panels keep on expanding... These are the results: [image: 1778071646134-stretched-panels-02.jpg]

@VectorStyler Can confirm the symbol expansion issue is fixed now. Yay!

@shomnipotence said in What framework does Visual Studio's UI use? Does it include default maximize, minimize, and close buttons?: Is it possible to embed the native three main items into the top right corner? Or use a Win32 title bar (which would mean a separate menu bar). Is is possible to use the Windows title bar, but it looks awful for this UI. There are a number of other apps that added custom icons for this (Affinity, Spotify, etc).

got a copy of Rebelle made a video here how panel hiding in Rebelle is working

@Boldline Yes, that's usually what I try first. It moves the right handle in fixed directions (0dg, 45dg, etc)

@vectorstyler FWIW, this plugin is open source so would be easy enough to check out what exactly it looks for: https://github.com/yanone/speedpunk/

@Boldline There is an "Ignore While" option in the trace panel menu. If enabled it turns these white regions into transparent. In this case it should be disabled. Also: the backdrop in the image is not a clear white tone, it has a noise with a small intensity

@VectorStyler yes, I agree the snap option for art board works just fine for VS. I love the snap option in VS for moving a line to be similar to another close by! I don't think I realized it could do such magic! That said, I still think the line angle lock is a cool feature I'd love to see in VS at some point when possible - just my vote and opinion

@861475_VctSt The problem is that it tries to show a color for the Fill (in this case the stroke does not affect it). I will try to fix this

@Ridgehammer I opened a bug on this

@Ridgehammer I will tyr to replicate and fix this as soon as possible.

@William-Kansepa Will be fixed

@Boldline Thanks for this post. I just discovered the option key to change modes and that is very useful
