Set Line Color - TWO CLICKS ?

[Nicolae Trifu]

Why do we now have a Menu opening up to Set Line Color ?

It's beyond maddening.

Is there a way to get back the old Right Click - once ?




And how about the new Arrange icons ? ( Move Objects, Layers groups, Combine Shapes group ).

Who thought of making them less visible and intelligible than before ?

Obviously, someone who does not listen to the users.

Shame.


To be able to keep up with my work, I have to stay a few versions back.

Under the utilities/options/view tab, you can select the old way of right-click to set the line color. I'm not sure about your other question about less visible icons.

The items in the Arrange menu are grayed out because the menu is context sensitive. They become clickible when the command is possible.

To follow up and support the previous responses I've added a screen shot guide to assist.

Also note that you can increase the size of the control bar button/icons to make them more visible and easier to click if preferrable

Oops - did not see the Right-click on color option.

I would like to take back my "offended" tone.

The Arrange buttons used to be colored, very easy to spot the right one.
Now they're monochromatic. And it's not about their size.
Of course I can learn to use keyboard shortcuts, but I would like to have back the original colored buttons. I use buttons mostly.

I've seen this mentioned before on this forum.

Thanks to all who answered so quickly and kindly.

Hmm - must have been a version or three before my time.
I guess it's what you get used to

The buttons and icons have been "redesigned" and not all for the better.

Right, that's it! Xara - we want a button editor like CorelDraw!!

How about a button competition? Then we could have the users vote on their favorites. We would need a competition for each button though and a corresponding vote. Then we could ask for a second button pallet nested under the first. Minimal effect on the UI and maximum participation. If you don't submitt/vote you can't gripe...

[steve.ledger]

I don't think there's any need for that personally.
Besides, we all own a copy of software that can design a 'button'.
All it needs is an editor similar to CorelDraw.. Everyone could change thier own buttons without having to submit them to be judged.

Here's a screenshot of Corels button editor for those who aren't familiar with it.
