Blender UI paper cuts

[SavMartin]

I found this problem
If you close tab properties, there is no way to open again.

Here’s something you guys could do to minimize the big issue introduced by the removal of the global brush palette in sculpt mode.
Since you are treating the brushes now as tools, then everytime a new brush preset is created, they should appear nested in the tool they were created in the toolbar as well, not just in the topbar/tool settings…
This will minimize the hassle of brush switching, otherwise it will be 3 clicks to switch brush presets, which is bad.

Please think about it. The sculpting workflow is very important.

Dragging over the Properties tabs should switch context as you drag down the list.

With the old radio buttons at the top, it was possible to drag over them to change context. This no longer works with the tabs.

[billrey]

This is a bug. I won’t add it to the list, but it should be fixed.

If you select strips from right to left before adding a cross dissolve they will go wrong:

I guess they just needs to be sorted by start/end framenumber before added to the strip cross effect?

[Wazou]

No more user prefs, why this choice to remove it?

[tintwotin]

The topbar needs to be redrawn/cleared in workspaces without topbar elements:

Is there a way to move this bar closer to the space where I’m actually working?
When using a brush, all the brush settings are too far away from my preferred working area.
This makes working much more difficult and slower when using a big/high resolution monitor.

I’ll add that not only should the top row of radio buttons (tabs) always be visible in the user preferences window, but the search field should always be visible. It’s pretty painful to use such a long list of shortcuts, but this would be one way to make it easier to deal with.

[billrey]

There is a project to completely redesign the Preferences, here:

This is spearheaded by Julian Eisel. I hope this can be done before long, to tackle the kinds of issues brought up here.

current navigation gizmo

need more bright when mouse over

current navigation when background bright

add outline

[StroBlend]

Agree it should be back as an editor type, it have been bring 2 times to the RightClick select site so you can support it there also

Also here:

User preferences should be back as an editor type

Hi there, Maybe I miss something but In 2.8 I noticed that it disappear from the editor type list, so we can’t have this windows embedded in the main window anymore? it was very useful in some cases like editing a theme or configuring an addon. Now with a floating window you have to jump back and forth between the main window and a floating user preferences window when making quick test/adjustments. Any hope to allow the user preferences as an editor type again ?

The nav. gizmo must use the same backdrop colour as nav. icons do - the dark one. No need for outlines.

even just having the toolbar open by default could be a decent solution

i mentioned this before and since the “topbar” only shows tools related to the 3d view, maybe it should be part of the 3D view header instead of the whole blender.

[billrey]

The toolbar is open by default in Blender.

[billrey]

The top bar in fact does not only show options for tools in the 3D View. It also has options for the active tools on the UV Editor, for example.

Add arrows under Axis Visuals

The same thing as [CTRL] + [SHIFT] + SCROLL WHEEL in 2.79

There is no feature like that in 2.8 yet.

[looch]

i meant the toolbar in the text editor that Jacques Luke was talking about

[looch]

fair enough, but there are only 2 or 3 editors that actually benefit from the top bar… but most of them dont
