The Cursor color for the paint modes should be a global theme option between all three, the many times i have to change it when i open different files is very annoying.
Hmmm thatâs definitely a bug.

@eobet : the shapekey slider controls the active shapekey, and thereâs always one. However what seems to be lacking is a highlight.
Well, then Iâll report it and see what happens.

What the heck is this crap again!? I thought that the 2.81 outliner behavior was finally fixed to be sane?
When a person has more than one object selected in a program, they would reasonably expect that ANY OPERATION would affect ALL SELECT OBJECTS!! (And that includes things like âshade flatâ and âclear custom normals dataâ, etc, etc.)
(I know you still have to hold Alt of some crap to get any input field to apply to everything selected, and thatâs still absolutely insane. The right-click mentality of the old Blender guard has to go! Face it, you lost. The industry established the conventions without you, and you need to get on board already.)

This is also fascinating⌠how is this even possible?
EDIT: Seems that 2 of the 5 object in the first collection above ignore the collection visibility and are able to show themselves even though the collection they are a part of is hidden. Very glitchy. 
EDIT 2: Can anyone guess the reason for this? local mode
That tiny little text in the top left corner (which also appears during rotations and other transforms) is so tiny that itâs nearly useless, and the outliner should absolutely block the user from changing visibility to warn the user about local mode).
I am no moderator, but you should probably tone it down a little, as it sounds really agressive from here. What you mention is in in the works, as far as I know. You should check the bug tracker, see where itâs at. I personally find it more logical (alt+click to operate on entire selection), but I wouldnât mind if behaviour is flipped at some point.

Boolean modifier doesnât remember the operation setting from last time used. It always defaults to Difference, while I currently need to make about two dozen Unions, requiring two additional clicks per boolean modifier.
Also would be nice to be able for the object input to be a list (but I guess thereâs add-ons for that).
I asked for this several times too, seems nobody gives a f**k.
I prefer old fashioned aliased outlines, thin and crisp. For example when selecting foliage, itâs a complete orange messâŚ

Preferences > Viewport > Viewport Anti-Aliasing > No Anti-Aliasing.
If there is a bug, report it.
The fact is - AFAIR - itâs not considered a bug. Probably itâs because of HiDPI monitors.
But the issue is clear if you try to se outline width 1px vs 2px in Theme preferences. Nothing changes.
Here I disabled every possible antialiasing, set line to Thin, outline width 1px.
Left 2.7x Right 2.8x. IMHO itâs obvious, and personally 2.7x was far better even if looking âold schoolâ
Thereâs a menu entry for âalign to transform orientationâ but no entry for âalign to 3D cursor orientationâ.

Also disabling Outline selected in overlays helps bringing back the 2.79 look
Unfortunately it works just for Wireframe display mode.
Solid shading with Outline Selected disactivated means everything seemsâŚwell, unselected.
Enable the move gizmo, thatâs why you see whatâs selected. The âoutline selectedâ feature sucks, thatâs one of the first things I always disable in any 3d app. lol
Not sure if i understood, anyways Iâll try, thanks!

Thanks for the video, doesnât work with more than one mesh at once thoughâŚ
The example is about 3 distant, simple objectsâŚthink about a fully detailed scene with overlapping props etc 
The âoutline selectedâ is just too much noise for me in every situation. 
- When you want to select a folder (e.g. an Output Path), you highlight the desired folder in the opened File Browser and click Accept. But this only opens the folder and not accept it, so you need to make another click.
- The Accept buttonâs tooltip says âExecute Fileâ.
- The âfile_browseâ buttonâs tooltip says âAcceptâ.
- âHold Shift to open the fileâ this means open in another/default program.
- âAlt to browse directoryâ this means in the OS file browser, which is not very clear.
The âRefresh Filelistâ (Refresh the file list) button refreshes not only the file list (as it looks now) but also the System Bookmarks. Whatâs important when you connect the USB-drive.
