First off,
I would prefer if the dark mode was of a coloration similar to the current. The current XF2 dark mode is TOO MUCH dark grey. Some of the blues of the xf1 dark mode is good to break things up and make things more discernable.
So like, if possible? Make the dark mode's base color darker. But also make some portions blue rather than dark grey. Or have clearer white borderings like the current XF1. The general complaint for this portion is that a lot of it blurs together due to the same-y color and not enough delineation.
EDIT: The dark grey needs to be darker, the white text needs to be brighter, with better white lines to separate parts. I feel like a sharper contrast is better.
But that's secondary to my main complaint:
the XF2 textbox is worse compared to XF1.
1) It doesn't have every option immediately available. I really do not like having to click a dropdown box if I want to see the underline or strikethrough or font options.
2) The text color? Each time you want to use it, YOU HAVE TO PICK THE COLOR AGAIN. This is a giant pain in the ass if you decide to make a character or portions of text (such as in a character sheet) have a certain color to make it stand out, requiring you to click it
every damn time, rather than XF1's elegant solution of having the color option keeping the last color used for a quick click.
3) Also, it's hard to see when a font modification is activated. For example, when I use
BOLDED text, the only indication is that the "B" on the editor
lights up every slightly.
This is incredibly hard to notice on a quick glance. Please make it more obvious. Either making the whole button glow or have the dark highlight like XF1, or making it turn blue or some other color that's quickly easy to notice from the rest.
4) it is missing a fullscreen version. PLEASE have a fullscreen version.
I will say that at least the text editor
seems to not have the rich text lag that I have on SB. The where if I'm typing very fast while quickly switching bold/italics/underline/etc. the editor lags/does not register the change, so I end up not going back to normal font or something. Which is good to know. That would have been my hugest complaint, but glad to see that's been fixed.
