1. Alternate colors to improve row legibility

   When Panels contain lists, it would greatly improve accessibility and legibility to alternate the hues of the entire rows.

   In the mockups attached, it is much easier to follow each line and click the corresponding circle for each layer than if the rows were all the same color.

2. Tab now shifts to toggle buttons in Layers Panel instead of renaming the next layer

   In the newest update (29.6) the layers panel has some changes. When you hover over the toggle buttons, they highlight. Before updating, I could double-click to rename my layer, then hit Tab to rename the next layer. Now, Tab just moves to the toggle buttons and the tools at the bottom of the panel. I think this should be adjusted back to make renaming layers a smoother process.

3. Show thumbnails in Artboards panel

   I would love to be able to see a thumbnail of the artboard in the Artboard panel (similar to how you can for layers) I often have many artboards and would like to move them into a certain orders visually — not just by name.

4. Allow customized names for exported artboards

   Allow me to customize the name of artboards that are exported or saved as.

   OR, change the automatic naming to include the artboard number at the front of the file name so they will be in the same order as they are in the document when sorted alphabetically.

   Here is how I would use this feature:

   We use Illustrator to create client presentations. Artboards are named according to their content. Often saving/exporting as a PDF from Ai results in a file that's too large to email.

   So I export each artboard as a PNG. The naming convention for these files is FileName_ArtboardName.png.

   Then I import the PNGs to Acrobat. Then rearrange the pages in Acrobat to the correct order.

   My workaround is to rename the artboards before export with the artboard number at the beginning of the artboard name, then the PNGs are in the correct order in Finder, and when imported into Acrobat.

   Adding the artboard to the artboard name has to be done manually, which if you have more than a few artboards gets tedious. And if you change the order of the artboards, you have to manually change the number in the artboard names.

   I envision it as a preference pane, similar to how Lightroom Classic handles file names for export. Or it could be an option when exporting.

5. Double clicking a gradient should open the gradient editor

   When a gradient is clicked in the toolbar's Fill Stroke Controls, the Fill turns black, in stead of opening the gradient editor.
   Why? It's not of any use, and contra intuitive.

   Please open the gradient editor whenever a gradient is double clicked.

6. Adding the [null] 'swatch' to the Recent Colors quick use panel

   Adding the [null] 'swatch' to the Recent Colors quick use panel would make for efficient color swapping. Yes, the null option is always on the tools panel; intuitively a recent selection even of null/no color should sit in the recently used Recent Colors area.

7. Please update the Glyph Panel with a search feature for icon tags in icon fonts.

   Currently, if I create a text block to add an icon-font, the default placeholder text prevents the icon font from being displayed in the Glyphs pallet. I have to delete the placeholder text just to see the Glyphs.

   But more importantly, I spend a great deal of time digging through these icon fonts to find the icon I need.

   What would be ideal is if you would enhance the Glyphs pallet to include a simple text field that would allow me to search within an icon font (or really any font) for a specific character tag.

   The enclosed image shows how the Glyph panel could look. You would add a search field to the top of the panel where I could type in an icon search term. In this case "arrow". All of the icons in the font with the tag "arrow" would be highlighted in yellow.

   If I select an icon, it turns blue and the associated tags are displayed at the bottom. In this case, I searched for arrow, but wanted the play button. So I could click the Tag button and add the "arrow" tag to that icon for future reference. If I wanted to delete a tag from a font, the popup tag menu would allow me to delete the tag (as well as the close button on the tag itself).

   Also, notice that this would allow me to view as a standard glyph table as well as a taglist table. The icons would run vertically in a column with their associated tags to the right of them.

   By maintaining the font-icon-tag list in a simple json file or xml or whatever, you could allow new icon font makers to tag their own fonts for convenience. You would only have to tag the fonts in the Adobe Font Library, which I would volunteer to do if it would help make this possible.

   If someone added an icon font that had no tags, they would be able to add their own tags.

8. Make "Create Outlines" not greyed out when text is selected

   If I am creating a text element for the sole purpose of converting it to outline, it is confusing that the "Type > Create Outlines" option is greyed out when the text is selected.

   "Create Outlines" should not be greyed out, and when the user clicks there could potentially be a warning the first time saying:

   "Creating Outlines will make it impossible
   to edit the text box, would you like to proceed?

   [ ] Do not show this message again"

   Although one could assume that the user knows what they are doing, and that the warning message might be annoying rather than helpful.

   At the present moment, it is annoying to not be able to access the feature, and adds extra steps to have to deselect the very object that the user wants to modify to be able to enable this modification.
   It makes it feel like the user made a mistake, and could confuse them into thinking that one of their actions disabled the feature.

   Additionally, it would make sense for a user to be able to select only a selection of text from a text block, and then proceed to Create Outlines for only this selection (for example to create decorated initials for print).

   In this scenario, Illustrator would divide the text block into two elements upon clicking the menu, one with the outlined text and one where the remaining part of the text block remains editable.

9. Support SVG 2.0 for import and export

   When importing SVG 2.0 files into Adobe Illustrator, some attributes will not be properly recognized and get lost.

   SVG 2.0 is gaining wider adoption in modern design and web workflows. If Adobe Illustrator, After Effects and other industry-standard creative tools do not implement full SVG 2.0 compatibility soon, it will create major unnecessary frictions for users. Designers will constantly need to manually modify files and roll back to outdated SVG 1.1 syntax to make their assets editable across the toolchain. This breaks the seamless handoff between design and development that modern vector workflows rely on.

10. Rename the 'Typing' history step for auto-bullet conversion to a clearer label (e.g., AutoFormat)

    Using Undo to roll back the auto conversion of bullets now works as it should (thanks to this report: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46954429), but the history step is just called with general 'Typing', and it doesn’t add clarity.

    Compare it with something like Microsoft Word, where the step is called 'AutoFormat' — still a broad name, but much easier to spot!
    Plus, Word offers to undo the auto-formatting right there in text when typing with a widget... and it offers a way to disable it completely right THERE.
    Ai’s solution is rather blunt and cheap and lacks elegancy in this current form. Please make it better.

11. Support Artboard Background Fill Color when saving to Cloud (.aic)

    1. Windows 11
    2. 30.2.1
    3. Create an .ai document and change the fill color of an artboard. Save it locally (still .ai). Close and Reopen it and observe the fill color is the same. Now save that document to the cloud (.aic). Close and Reopen it and observe the fill color is reset to transparent.
    4. I expect the artboard fill color to stay the same when saving as an .aic, just like it does as an .ai
    5. Attached

    I tried to troubleshoot it through the Illustrator Discord channel - https://discord.com/channels/634884897185595412/637037500451258369/1476316280947474583

12. Dithering for Freeform gradients

    Dithering to freeform gradients is missing but very handy to have. Esp as this is now the only gradient type without it. Dithering in linear and radial gradients is great so having the same option for freeform seems a logical feature.

13. Turntable feature is not available for Intertwine objects

14. An ability to enlarge panels on mouse hover to have larger controls (dynamic and local UI scaling)

    Using a 4k screen I find the palette to be small, and I struggle seeing them detailed especially when it comes to gradients.
    It would be handy to have a feature to enlarge the palette when the mouse hovers on it. Potentially deciding on to which palette activate this. Like for me I'd like to activate it only on the gradient, swatches and colors palette. Maybe a temporary shortcut to press while hovering onto the palette. Thanks.

    Also having a better color picker on the color palette would be nice.

    Thanks.

15. Keep the Spacing value active when you have 1 artboard in New Document dialog

    I often start with 1 artboard only in a new document (and I create these using classic dialog, because it’s faster than the modern one). There is a bug with the value used from a previous session (like 20 mm I love) looses precision (becoming 19.999 mm)... I reported this problem here — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51116116

    But even with this bug fixed, I don’t see why this field should be disabled.
    I can see why Columns is, and other options in these section... but the Spacing GETS used when you create a new artboard LATER — and Ai offers now way to set one (and I requested to be able to here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/43218936)

    The only way to tweak this value after a document is created is to Rearrange... and it’s allowed only with at least 2 artboards. So I have to create one with a wrong spacing first, and then perform rearranging I don’t need, risking to ruin my layout and design and grid, only to change a value?

    This is stupid.

20. Option to always scale proportionally (Invert the Shift-key)

    A option in settings to always scale proportionally without having to hold the shift-key. The shift key could then be "inverted" so it will unlock the contraints and make unproportional scaling avaible. I find myself using the shift key 90% of the time when scaling to lock the proportions so this would be a nice feature.
