I don’t know if this is the right place for this, and I haven’t read the whole thread so… 
Well - I’m really happy you fixed the pattern thumbnails - that’s been bothering me for ages. But since then I’ve been meaning to ask if the icons could be made bigger - either as a default, or with a slider like the brushes.
Now - I’ve just by accident discovered that the pattern size is linked to the brush icons; so the function is already there! Okay - so that’s awesome!

But it would be even more awesome to have separate sliders - as I don’t need massive brush icons, but struggle to identify patterns from small icons. 
edit: The hover preview is useful - but I didn’t think it was working with the stylus; Now I see that it does, but it’s not triggering consistently. I think it works if I use the mouse first to trigger a preview then switch over to the stylus.
