UI / UX Changes
Looking for feedback on this one, as there are some opinionated changes! I'd like to add a setting for handle size in our own settings menu, but I don't know how 😎
- Revamped visuals in Vertex Edit mode
- Handles are now circles with a subtle outer shadow/gradient for contrast
- Reduced opacity and removed stroke on shape outline
- Added new icon to indicate bezier points
- Use dashed lines when placing new vertices (holding alt)
- Increase icon size and default grab radius (compared to editor default)
- "H" bind temporarily hides UI
- Vertex handles are hidden in Edit Vertex mode
- Create Vertex mode defaults to adding between two points when the shape is closed (without needing to hold alt)

This looks really nice, I really dig the new look.
Changes make sense to me, but I'm not a frequent enough user of the tool to know what the optimal work flow is. I think my favorite change is "H" to hide the UI. Whatever the keybinding, I think hiding the UI would be a good feature. I'd often deselect the shape to try to get a look at it without the UI and a hotkey would have really optimized for me.
I think a handle size option for the verts is great idea. That's definitely a per-user preference. I like the idea of hiding the vert handles in edge mode too, but I think that'd also be a user-preference thing.
Thanks for the hard work 🙂
I finally did some testing, and I actually quite like the new visuals. The changes to the create-vertex mode are great, the old behavior always bothered me.
There are still some things that I'd like to discuss:
- I think the vertex handles in edge edit mode should still be visible to better differentiate between edges.
- The vertex handles are a little too large. I like that they are larger than before, but now they are a little too large.
- Vertices should still be movable in create mode for more flexibility.
