  1. Illustrator Panel keeps resizing its width when changing to another tabbed panel.

    Illustrator Panel keeps resizing its width when changing to another tabbed panel, unlike in Photoshop. Can't you make this stop? It's been around for years. Very irritating. I usually don't put any panels underneath my Layer Panel so there is nothing there to keep it from resizing. Why do we have to put up with this? Photoshop interface is more relaxing. Why can't it be the same for Illustrator?

  2. Please stop removing features from Beta that are available in regular.

    The arc tool needs better features that are in the non-beta version but for some stupid reason are removed from beta in order to make things harder and less functionable. For example, I can't see the properties of an arc I've drawn, or convert a path to an arc. BUT, if I were NOT USING BETA, then I'd be able to.

    I'm learning this software, and keep asking Google Bard for instructions, and have great information, only to find out that features were removed or slimmed down in Beta, giving you less function. WHY?! Isn't the point of Beta to…

  3. Opacity Mask Thumb displayed in color, not in grayscale

    Please checkout the current Opcity Mask viewing. When you hold down the Option/Alt key to review the mask you see the objects or image in color. It should be like it used to be before in Gray scale... (black Conceals, White Reveals)
    Why did you change it? In the imge I enclose you can see the dog in color..should be BW once it is in the mask area.

  6. Panels invading workspace

    At present, by default, this is how small the Layer and Artboard panels' sizes can be minimized to. They take up a lot of valuable screen room on my Mac. I still want to see these but don't want to dock them into the side as that takes up a lot more room. Currently it's too invasive to my workspace, even so when I am using more layers and artboards.

    I would suggest making it possible to make these panels even smaller so I can have extra space to be able to see more of my work and space that…

  8. Nommage des plans de travail

    Dans le menu Objet/Plan de travail, avoir la possibilité d'ajouter les dimensions du plan de travail sélectionné ou de tous les plans de travail.
    L'ajout se ferait à la fin du nom ou dans des colonnes additionnelles (Largeur et Hauteur) avec la possibilité d'intégrer ces dimensions dans le nom du fichier exporté. Prévoir une syntaxe compatible avec le nomage des fichier et suffisamment différentiante pour pouvoir les mettre à jour par le biais des expression régulières (Suppression puis ajout des dimensions actualisées).

  12. American's with Disabilities Act Request for Adobe iOS/Desktop apps Google Play

    As much as Katerina (our autistic artist) loves your apps, she has made it clear that she needs Adobe to migrate the apps for iOS/Desktop to android due to how her disabilities impact her life. We are forever grateful to Adobe for giving Katerina the ability to focus on creativity instead of her disabilities however, not having the same ability to create on Illustrator has decreased our productivity. Katerina has informed us to place an American's with Disabilities Act Request which deals strictly with access. Thanks again for creating programs which give Katerina a way to show the world what…

  13. Error en la traducción al español - Menú «Ver»

    En el menú «Ver», la primera opción dice «Ver CPU en uso»/«Ver GPU en uso», pero en inglés es "View using CPU"/"View using GPU", por lo que la traducción debería ser «Ver usando CPU»/«Ver usando GPU».

  14. Add a setting to make horizontal scrolling / zoom with mouse wheel match operating system

    In Windows, holding shift while scrolling scrolls horizontally and holding ctrl while scrolling zooms in / out.

    I would like to be able to the same behavior in InDesign so I do not have to consciously change how I navigate documents when using adobe products

  17. Layers panel dimensions dynamically resize, or have tools cling to bottom of layers list

    When I open a layer, the layer list is quite long so I need a tall panel. However when they're collapsed it's a much shorter list and suddenly the trashcan button is super far away from where I'm working in the layers. It would be nice if the panel automatically resized to keep the toolbar near the list, or otherwise have the toolbar cling to the bottom of the layers list so it's easily accessible when working in that panel. The dynamic resizing would also be helpful when you have the panel sized to be shorter, and open a layer,…

  18. Convert fractions to decimals within the program, not just the new file dialogue box: 116-7/8" to 116.875 in.

    We work with various large format sizes given with fractions, but the programs run off decimals. The New file dialogue box will convert them, so why can't this be added to the number fields for artboard and object sizes? Similar to how we can use the "/" to divide by a number when working at 1/4 scale or 1/2 scale.

  19. Adapt Dark Title bar in dark mode in Illustrator for Windows

    The existing title bar is white, enabling dark title bar will help us get a more unified UI.

    The Technology Path

    Since Windows 10 1809, Microsoft has provided an API for modifying only the color of the window title bar.

    The method reference is
    stackoverflow.com/questions/39261826/change-the-color-of-the-title-bar-caption-of-a-win32-applicatio...

    Documentation see
    docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dwmapi/ne-dwmapi-dwmwindowattribute 3

    At the same time, this API does not affect compatibility with older versions, and on Windows 7 or earlier versions of Windows, the API will not work and will not cause strange errors.

  20. Add option to change stroke/font units faster

    For my workflow I constantly need to change the unit of strokes between points and inches. It would be nice to add a way to change them in 1 click rather than going Edit > Preferences > Units every single time. Not a huge change but would be quite convenient and probably fairly easy to implement. We can currently set the unit of the whole document in a window, but not things like stroke/font. Could just add the option to the existing stroke window like the attached picture.
