Screen shot of brush properties dialog.
The list of options in the Brush properties dialog is very hard to use. The
icons to open or collapse the collapsible options are too small to tell what
they are, and the check box doesn't show unless it is checked. Image attached.
The layout completely hides the structure of the options. For example, there
appear to be two Flow and Opacity options. It is not at all clear (to a new
Krita user like me) that one is under General and one is under Masked Brush.
Even though I have now figured out what it happening, I find it inconvenient
and difficult to use owing to the misleading indentation.
This is on Windows 10 64-bit. In the Properties for the shortcut Krita is set
to use Compatibility | "Override the high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling
performed by System." (The built-in DPI scaling is not usable.) This makes it
be a 96 dpi program, which on my case is running on a 96 dpi Cintiq. This
should make it work the same as if it were run a system with a normal
resolution (96 dpi) monitor, so I don't know why the icons are so small.
The reason the built-in scaling doesn't work is probably because the main
display is 4K and the Krita scaling is not per-monitor aware.
In any event, it is very unintuitive with the indentation as it is.
