プルダウンメニュー
このサイトも同様の仕様ですが、プルダウンメニューが背景と文字の濃度が差悪く、視認性が酷い。photoshopなどは問題ない!イラストレーターのみ見にくい!迅速に対応ください。

Please bring back the search function for "Shared with you" files in Adobe Illustrator 2026
My team uses the Adobe cloud to store and share files across the team. Looking up for older files shared is now very inconvenient as the search function for "Shared with you" files in Adobe Illustrator 2026 has been removed.
Please bring it back.

Artboards panel scrolls too fast when using touchpad / trackpad
The fact that we have to test our timing when dragging the artboards to organize them in the Artboards panel is silly. I spent a whole minute trying to arrange the artboards for the storyboard with the trackpad. They should make the scrolling animation slower.

Update / Preview Grid on canvas when the grid and Constrain Angle values change in Preferences, before hitting OK
I use grids all the time and I have to change the grid settings to fit my tasks regularly.
When I do this, the rendered grid updates only when I hit OK, and it makes choosing the step less convenient — if I’m not happy with the resulting grid cell size, I’d have to open Prefs one more, navigate to the section, try again.
Same goes with Constrain Angle — changing it won’t make the grid rotate until OK is hit.
Sure, it’d need a Preview option, to fit the way it works in other dialogs, enabled by default.2 votes -
Allow to disable Rich Tool Tips right from the rich tool tips
'How to hide these popups for tools?' is one of the most common questions I see here and there (the most popular being 'how to show the resizing frame back?').
The answer is 'disable Show Rich Tool Tips in Preferences > General', but it requires knowledge, and Ai never directs new users there.What if we could just CLOSE one or all hints right there, in a hint itself?

O tutorial da barra de ferramentas fica aparecendo a todo momento, atrapalhando a visualização e o fluxo do meu trabalho
O tutorial deveria apenas aparecer após a atualização conforme era antes. Agora aparece a todo momento, várias vezes durante o dia, isso atrapalha muito.
1 voteThere’s no automated condition Illustrator follows for this, we decide ourselves when to turn these off.
We can hide these hints by disabling the Show Rich Tool Tips option in the Preferences > General.

Change layer thumbnail background so white objects are visible in the Layers panel
Currently, I'm working with white text for a logo design and because the layer thumbnail background is white and the text is also white, it is impossible to see what objects are in my Layers. Illustrator for ipad already has this feature, so why isn't it in desktop?

Default Sort
Allow users to define what they want to see on the home page, and allow defaults to that definition to be saved. For example, in Version 29, when I open the program, it defaults to "Your Files" and they are sorted by "Name". Whenever I open the program, that's what shows. It's perfect for me. In Version 30, now that doesn't work. It opens to "Recent Files" and then I have to click "your Files" or "View All Files" for that to show. Then I have to click on the sort (because some genius changed the default to in the…

Make UI text size scalable
Allow for scaling of text in the UI, especially the Layers panel.
I have to strain to read the layer descriptions. Since I work a lot in After Effects I have to name all my layers. It would be easier to work if I could just glance over instead of working hard to read the little font sizes. I should note that I have a super high definition screen.Also, make thumbnail size in Layers panel to save between launches: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33328054

An option to not highlight the active artboard in Trim View
It would be great if the Artboard Display Highlight Color could be hidden when in Trim View. So it doesn't interfere with the visual look of the artwork and yet could be larger in the standard display mode to enable easier workflow.

Guys, why don't you have a "Behance Project" on the New document screen? This should help a lot.

Display the confirmation when a HEX value is copied from the Color panel
Today, when we click the dedicated button to copy a HEX value, either in the Color panel or in Swatches Options dialog, Illustrator selects the value (and copies it), but the fact it gets copied is nowhere stated.
I’d use the Ai’s 'shy message' to inform the users about this instead ( '#XXYYZZ copied') and would not select the value — but would select it by clicking the '#' symbol instead, to match the 'click the caption to select the value' paradigm Illustrator uses in all other fields.2 votes -

Background Grid Not Displayed Behind Fully Opaque Objects in Illustrator 30.0
I am experiencing an issue in Illustrator 30.0 where the background grid does not appear behind any objects that have 100% opacity, regardless of fill or effects. This happens even when Overprint Preview is enabled. This kind of phenomenon did not occur while using 28.x and 29.x series.
- Illustrator version: 30.0
- OS: macOS Sequoia (15.3.2)
- Issue: Any object with 100% opacity completely hides the background grid.
- Troubleshooting steps attempted:
- Switching GPU performance ON/OFF
- Using CPU preview
- Resetting Illustrator preferences
- Switching to Outline view and back

Allow to disable labels when resizing or rotating an object
When we rotate or scale an object with bounding box, Illustrator shows a label with the rotation angle or width/height changes.
While the label looks similar to the Reference Labels for Smart Guides, it’s not it (and it’s larger).
Ai doesn’t allow to hide these, and sometimes it obscures the art we work with.
Please introduce a toggle!1 vote -
Background option for thumbnail view when saving vectors, especially white vectors
When a user goes through the save options on the pop-up window, it would be nice to add a feature that lets one select a background color for the thumbnail image. My reason for this is so my white vector files do not disappear on a white background. That would be great for me as a designer. The real trick would be if this thumbnail could also be viewed by anyone on their computer. White logos and icons I develop are passed off to clients or internal team members. Seeing that thumbnail can eliminate doubt and questions about the image…

Tab To Edit Next Artboard Name in Export for Screens Window
Hello,
In the Artboards panel, when you edit an artboard name, you can hit tab to key into the next artboard to change its name without having to reach back to the mouse to double-click the next artboard name to change it.
However, in the Export for Screens window, in the artboard section, if you hit tab when editing an artboard name, the Select: > All radial button becomes highlighted.
This is not the behavior I expect in this context, and is inconsistent with the behavior in the Artboards panel.
As a compromise, perhaps we could have conditional behavior, where,…1 vote
