I do have some trouble remembering these ones - I always have to read the tooltip:
These from Affinity are not much better - but they do not differ as much in style and make some sense:
And these always made sense to me:
-
i agree that these Vs Icons are easier to understand now
thought that maybe a thin frame around it would increases their perceptibility
one is used to the old icons from other programs
-
I don't mind these icons has a whole. but I think the first one, "Draw on top" should have the two underneath shapes be outlines and not fills so its clear that the filled top object is on top of all and fits in line with the same symbol concept as the others.
-
Frames around buttons are gone in modern software. They will probably be back some day like round corners vs sharp corners.

Finally a program with icons for this that I understand instantly:
My sentiments exactly
Try guessing which one is which in PowerPoint:
I memorized those icons decades ago but the orange background is a total turn-off also mixing the icons makes my eyes scan them all four every time, I never identify the button I need in the first attempt. I also still haven't forgiven Microsoft for kickstarting the ultra-flat and minimal design trend.
We are one step from an all black and white trend.

And I cannot say rotating it 90° would make sense visually (left-right instead of up-down).
LOL, I was joking
But you could split it to fit on two separate rows OK on the context panel, it would be really nice to be able to finally edit that as a preference.

Hurray, flat is good
That means I can use up all that black vinyl I bought

It is indeed the best of times for you.

thought something similar, that the flat design is a blessing
for the people who cut logos from foilson the other hand I wonder how someone comes up with this idea.
(i know is design)
Where everything in the world is 3-dimensional and we are actually
adapted to this circumstance
( yes on screen is pseudo 3-D, but...)

( yes on screen is pseudo 3-D, but...)You're not a member of the flat earth society then - you need to shape up, the world is truly flat it seems, don't believe all this 3D nonsense, it's just an artefact
It's certainly flat from a VS perspective at least LOL

Ha ha, it is if you just bought a pile of black vinyl on the ultra-cheap

Even towards the abyss.
But there can't be an abyss, it's only two-dimensional surely
I'm perfectly happy with the flatness thing anyway, it just makes my life a whole lot simpler, I don't need to jump into Fusion 360 so often either

i thinks its too late
dont know how to transform
cant see the button because everything looks flat
-
That's ok... in a few years 5D graphics will probably be the "in" thing.

I believe that several meters of sea rise will teach the masses again to think three-dimensionally.
