Just to add one more argument for the addition of the toggle.
In some other recent thread someone else requested the addition to remove the RGBA “color info” pop up on the screen when color picking, for a more distraction free workflow, which has since been added as a toggle to the beta, which I really like. And this didn’t get any thought about it potentially cluttering the preference menu. But now for some reason that exact same argument is not valid here, even tough the brush size pop up is much bigger and more distracting in my eyes than the color info one ever was, yet this doesn’t get a toggle.
It feels like - here is the option to turn off this little color info pop up window, but now have this giant brush size pop up window in the middle of the screen instead, which doesn’t make sense at all. I literally can’t understand that decision, it’s just completely in the way of drawing, and I need it so often, that it’s actually the reason to turn me off using the app(beta) like this, it’s just not enjoyable and always annoyingly covering something on the canvas. Making maximum use of the already limited screen size on the iPad, showing as much of the canvas as possible, should be the goal here, and that’s just not it in this case. If anything, I’d prefer for the finger size/opacity slider to be shown on the side as well instead of in the middle. So that it’s just always on the side no matter what, while the toggle would be on.
And I’m sure some others who use their keyboard to change sizes will feel the same. It might work for some the way it is now, but it’s apparently just not a “one size fits all” in this case and, thus it shouldn’t be dealt with that way. And besides all of that, when recording speedpaints including the interface, the brush size pop up would also constantly cover the canvas during said speedpaint. So I seriously hope it will be made completely optional.
