And new update! - Re-added border for push button (text buttons looked weird without it, but there’s still some issues) - Added tab separation after much popular demand 😃 Still a bit buggy, but quite a large improvement! ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d59e8ff3d507ac6be2e21aa833cca92070921f08.png) ---

That looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it out! 😍 Thank you so much for the hard work! ---

Very nice, thanks a lot! 🙂 Edit: @slightlyangrydodo Do you think the inactive tab could be more obvious by for example making the font dark grey or something? So good to see this improvement here. 🙂 Edit2: Looks sooo good, especially combined with the Goth Themes from @Zoldyako ! The only thing I have turned off because it reads better right now this way is the toolbar back to the “old” toolbar. Also working on brushes right now for Concept Art / Illustration, that’s why I just posted a quick sketch. Testing the new look and my brushes. 🙂 Krita’s improving fast, I love it! ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2df0fd56634e63f0fc622abde93d91b04f09e96f.jpeg) ---

@slightlyangrydodo I guess the red x in the dockers is hard coded, as I see no icons shipping with this plugin. @TheFlow I found out how you got the original toolbar ---

Yeah, the red x is something to be changed, for sure, thanks for the reminder! ---

Did you create brush icons, it’s not a package right? @slightlyangrydodo current brush icons are a bit outdated. I was thinking about real ones, digital ones while using them so I’m asking if there is a need to the traditional tool icons? Okay I said somethings here but thinking it can live a little more time. But those @TheFlow uses seems very pratical. I’m not a fan of flat design so passing it in icons and going from skeuomorphic to neoskeuomorphic icons would be nice thinking there are strong rumors about Apple’s upcoming neoskeuomorphic design choices. ---

It seems very obivous but what about new eye-cons for layer hiding? Do you think about changing fonts? ---

I’ve never heard ´"skeumorphic" in my life, so that’s a new interesting term I’ve learned today 😃 It’s important to notice that we’re bound by the framework in which Krita is written (Qt), so there are quite a few things that are just unfeasible. Regarding fonts and icons, other than the close layer button that is temporary, I haven’t really looked into it. Can you give some visual examples inside Krita where you think different icons and/or fonts might look better? ---

Now I’m not sure how to apply any useful change. ![Ekran görüntüsü 2020-11-19 002022](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/9/6/96e628777d01ddafcca06e99d216129ab4f6e3d0.png) Bigger icons are better? ![Ekran görüntüsü 2020-11-19 002244](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/d/8/d8f18b881cf4c6b42cfed79eeb0c6047db20f59c.png) change to lines? ![Ekran görüntüsü 2020-11-19 002311](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/f/7/f7c41b29f8de389aeca30dbdc69f964d9c8aea81.png) low resolution for texts. You can see the differences here, it’s fun reading some history of design! ![Ekran görüntüsü 2020-11-19 003048](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/e/8/e82206903a076bb80984dfbc91acd7818b973437.jpeg) ---

Yep, look at my screenshot above from a few days ago, it’s from my 4k screen. It works really great and finally makes Krita fully usable for me 🙂 ---

Should this be included on the Resources page - it looks like it works for most people, so I guess it should (for discoverability, for example)? Can you, either @Kapyia or @slightlyangrydodo make a MR for the Krita Manual? Alternatively I can do that when I have some time, but if you make it, it might be faster. ---

I don’t think it’s best doing that as of right now, as I still see at least two major things that I want to fix before starting that. Also, one thing, after I do a MR, if I have an update I have to do to the plugin, I’ll have to do a new MR with the update, correct? ---

Most of the links on the resource page lead to git repositories of plugin creators, so you don’t need to change anything there once you add a link. I think you can safely add it there even now, as even with some issues it feels like one of the best add-ons from this list.
