Changing the UI appearance

Affinity Designer has a dark User Interface. This makes it easier to accurately view and edit the colors in your designs. However, you can make the interface darker or lighter if you prefer.

To change the lightness of the UI:
  1. Choose Affinity Designer>Preferences.
  2. Choose Edit>Preferences.
  3. Click the User Interface label.
  4. Drag the sliders to set the Background Gray level and/or UI Gamma level.
  5. Uncheck Use hardware OpenGL if you don't want to take advantage of hardware-accelerated 3D rendering.
  6. Uncheck Lines in points if you want line widths to be expressed in physical measurement (e.g., mm) instead of typographic points.
