  New update: Small images are now better sized (python script works now with the image dimensions) Table of Content: Better representation of subpages of the manual. (Now no longer every subpage has its own chapter, only pages of the first level) Included changes of the HTML pages (thx @VectorStyler) removed "Text on Path Tool"

  Also remember that you can copy and paste styles and image effects which can sometimes be a lot faster depending on how you work. I added an extra paste submenu to this menu: and keep some tools handy in same menu as well:

  @Devil-Dinosaur Thank you, it's always surprising, even for me, to discover what @VectorStyler has wrapped up in the package.

  @plrang yes i think this technique quite well known. One of the reasons why I made this video was to draw a little attention to the possibilities of Transformation > Move e.g in VS.

  Combining Pattern and combining rigid and non rigid Pattern Brushes . . Sometimes it doesnt work to set the shapes in your pattern brush to rigid or non-rigid. As it will not cover all needs of your Pattern. Like this example show: . . The solution is a simple practical one: Create two Pattern, set one Part to rigid and the other Part not and place one Pattern on top of the other. . Copy your Shape and apply the first pattern onto the one shape and your second pattern onto the copy. . Select both, use Alignment panel, click on horizontal center and vertical center and you have a much nicer result than before. ( is also possible to record a Action with the Alignment Steps, so its just one click then) . Found this a nice way to combine several different pattern brushes. E.g. creating pattern for inner and outline structures. . . Here some Example Pictures: . . . . . . . . . 3 Pattern Brushes used .

  @Devil-Dinosaur No Problem here I understand your though very well because i worked in digital print for quite a while. Maybe we could split the Tutorials Section in those which follow these Guidlines and those which are more losely created. A Tutorial or just showing a find is a lot of work already and it would be nice to keep it simple for those who want to share finds/tricks or just a nice design.

  @vectoradmin said in Panel Sizing - The often overlooked customization: @Victor-Vector The problem with using the mouse wheel is that besides trackpads, on Mac the mouse scrolling is much smother that the regular mouse wheel. I think Click and Shift+Click with a tooltip, would be a simple solution. I appreciate learning about what needs to be considered for all the systems using VS. You have the best solution!

  @Nils the Repeater feature is something I want to dig into. Your tutorial will definitely help! Thank you for the detailed "video" lesson. I also appreciate the "Important notes" section, and calling out current bugs helps people understand if VS is not behaving as it should, making it easier to learn the tool. Well done!

  @freggern As it turns out, neither SVG or PDF can accurately render all the blend modes of VectorStyler, so the best option is a PNG. You can either use the one from the link, or I can send you either a higher resolution one, or the .vstyler file via the chat. Do you use the chat function on this forum?

  @freggern It looks great! I appreciate the credit. It is unexpected and very thoughtful. I would suggest using this forum's member id, so @Victor-Vector, like you did with @vectoradmin. I am also comfortable with a "special thanks" section separated from the main author so as not to upstage their enormous efforts.

  @Devil-Dinosaur , @Jono You could also use clipping in Clones. Recommend to set the "Isolation Opacity" in View > Display > Display Options lower for a better view. Here the vid Clipping in Clones And the clipping object with "no fill" offers some further possibilities.
