Extended Tools Panel
Less frequently used tools (in my case: Scissors, Paint Bucket) are hard to find in the standard Tools Palette. Wouldn't it be great when Illustrator had a preset to show all tools at a glance (on my 30" screen...)?
I know that it is possible to create custom tools panels - but especially when creating those, it's nice to have a view on all tools at once!
2 votesIn latest version one can click small three dots at the bottom of the Tools panel and see all tools at once, including those which are already in the toolbox.

Efect menu
I would like to provide a suggestion, to the "Effect" menu of Illustrator, they will take the same aesthetics from the rest of the menus. "Effect" looks very Windows 95.

Highlighted cursor markers on rulers
I would love to see an option to enable a highlighted cursor marker on the ruler. To explain what I mean by cursor marker, I mean the small, light gray line that follows where your cursor is along the x and y ruler. This light gray line is very hard to distinguish its exact position against the background ruler markers, since there is literally no contrast between them. I would love to see an option to change it to any of the system swatches.

Could there be a more logical place for show center and path direction than the Attributes panel
The Attributes panel seems like the junk drawer of panels. Wouldn't the show center check box seem more at home in the transform panel, and the path direction seem better suited for stroke or pathfinder panel. Just one less panel taking up space on the artboard.

Enable the ablility to keep swatch catagories in my tool panel.
I would love to keep tool swatches in my tool panel. I do have the ability to take one and put it off to the side among my tools, but when I restart Illustrator the tab is gone leaving me to conclude this is not a supported feature. I use one particular swatch category a lot and this would save me time.

Confusing migration confirmation dialogue box
Please fix the confusing migration confirmation dialogue box (popup), which is is needlessly unclear and needs revision. It asks a yes-or-no type question and provides a very clear negative option for a response. However, it provides two options for a positive response (I think), but which are bewildering. Each button just shows a version identifier: 29.7.2, 29.7.1, etc. Is this the new version and the version I was using last? Is this two versions where settings were detected? What version am I using when I see this? (Hmmm. I don't know. I can't check without answering first.) What happens when…

Portability or cross-device synchronization of Illustrator workspace organization.
Portability or cross-device synchronization of Illustrator workspace organization.
I have a standard way of working and organizing windows, icons, and other tools in the Illustrator workspace, and I'd like these settings to be synchronized across my devices, given that I work on my laptop and desktop in different locations at different times of the day.

Make color choosing UI consistent
I never like it when the big color chooser with the square color gradient and numeric fields pop up.
Why does it exist?
Would like to have a user preference to choose the color picker in stead of having Illustrator to popup with several different color mixers.When double clicking the stroke or fill color, the big unusefull (imho) thing pops up, when clicking a swatch, a compact mixer pops up.
For me, it would be nice to construct my own combination of color mixers: RGB and HSB in 1 view, with sliders, without the big picking gradient, without cmyk,…

가장 최신버전에서, 인디자인 관리자실행해야 정상 기능이 작동하는 점이 개선해주세요
일러스트에서, 가장 최신버전에서, 세로방향쓰기 할 때, 한글과 영문 둘다 왼쪽에서 오른쪽 방향으로 쓰이게 되었으면 좋겠습니다.인디자인 관리자실행안하고 실행하게되면 일부도구툴과 위에 윈도우 창들의 기능들이 일부 활성화가 안되는 현상이 발생합니다.

Scrollable tabs
I would like if the Ai interface was less "cluttered" and "manual" to use.
Specifically, as in the case of having many tabs open than they fit in the viewport, I have to click on the double chevrons (>>) to only be able to open one file at a time. Rather, would you guys consider making it scrollable?

Allow to show simple fractions instead of decimal fractions when possible in input fields
(↑Francais↑ / ↓English↓)
Ajouté les mesures en Fraction
Dans la case "Propriétés", dans la section L: & H: , ajouté les mesures en Fraction et permetre de convertir les décimal en Fraction, les Fractions sont par example .: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc...
Pouvoir écrire manuellement comme indiqué .: 1/4 qui convertie automatiquement en messure décimal .: 0.25in (Pouce) ainsi de suite.
Dans les montages graphiques, sa serais beaucoup plus pratique d'utiliser les mesures Fraction que de chercher les mesure en décimal qui est difficile à certain moment.
C'est un outils et messure très essentiel dans la zone Américain/Canadienne…

Make the font selection panel less intrusive by making it editable and moveable
The font selection panel currently takes up a large portion of the center screen, making it difficult to see the font changes on a large scale. It would be nice if the panel could be editable and moveable, like other panels on Illustrator. Also, it could be positioned on the right side of the screen by default and made slightly transparent, to see through.
1 voteIllustrator has a dedicated panel you can open via Window > Type > Character.

Remove the requirement for an application frame for multiple monitors
I don't use the application frame, as it is less productive. Please remove the requirement to use an application frame for multiple monitors. There is NO technical reason why I can't simply drag a document from one monitor to another.

Add "Layer" to the application menu like File, Edit, Object... like Photoshop has.
Add "Layer" to the application menu like File, Edit, Object, Type, Select, Effect, View, Help.
Like Photoshop has.
Explanation: Reading through the menu items is much more intuitive when learning about the application capabilities in regards to many features. Going from Photoshop to Illustrator, there are many similarities however the unique separations of the features such as accessing and interacting with the layers is one of the main inhibitors during my orientation to using illustrator to the degree to which I use photoshop.
