Getting Mad with the UI Layout of X7

Really its not user friendly.

1) If you select multiple objects then the Units system does not appear in the property bar

2) I have off the status bar as do not need, but i would like to see the colors values of the outline, for that i have assigned a shortcut key for the "Outline Color".  After launching the shortcut only the color swatch of the outline is appearing and not the values of the cmyk.  Very disgusting.

3) If i have created a new bar and placed, if i place any numeric field and color bar it stretches and extreme ends. OMG what to say

4) If i would like to drag the bar it sometimes active to drag and sometimes not.  Very much hardly hold the Alt key and drag and sometimes it drags to its own extent and it is not as per our expectation.  Very bothering one

5) if drag outside of any command and they will not snap to the any desired area.  For instance if a docker is opened, and would like to snap that to the opened docker.  

6) Similarly for the color palettes, they either allowed to place extreme left or right or top and not as per the user interest.  if someone wants to align to any opened docker, it will not user has to place manually.

7) Really confusing as all the numeric fields and other related commands are placed at one juncture.  The background color is somehow varied for each item.  For instance,  for transform commands, there should be a certain color and for the other .... in that way

8) if i want to select multiple commands at once while in customization, not possible.  Oho for small small works......  consuming much time 

9) if you select any command in the UI and would like to assign a shortcut, it takes time to appear that command in the customazation dialog box to assign the shortcut.

How fine it could be if corel allows me and suggest all the issues been existing to rectify besides worked on more than 5 years on this UI as what user really looking for.  Had sent my files to Geard sir.  Hope they have considered.

Have a big hope atleast the coming x8 will clear all the above issues.

  • 2. the status bar shows the outline color values (unless it's a named color). If you don't use the status bar then you will have to dig elsewhere to see the outline color values. Why would one hide the status bar? It's a very useful function.
    • No sir occupying much space. you know sir only one command is useful that is outline color.
      • Now that's just gibberish. Perhaps you are experiencing a language barrier. I'm not sure the majority of us understand any of ht you're trying to describe. Appears to me you want Corel to customize to you liking alone. These images of your workspace would be enough for me to fire you on the spot. That's the most bizarre mess I've ever seen in all my 20 years.
        • No fire sir. Respect others ideas. You have Not understood my intention. here i can note everything.
          1) i can notice page border on / off... or other view commands, besides what is the view quality that is right now
          2) i can instantly use the commands such as rectangle, ellipse and other tools at once, just by picking
          3) i can directly use the shaping commands as and when the property does not display
          4) I can see the zoomed levels and page type like .... a4 or custom
          5) I can use the presets of contour, drop shadow..... despite of using the commands of them
          like many you do not expect. You utilize it in such a way that you can't.
          • I think what you are living is really narrowed down to you only. You ask for CorelDRAW to work at a point so customized for your need that it doesn't reflect in any way anybody else's!

            CorelDRAW is intented to work in a certain way, wich is their DEFAULT setup. It also gives you the luxury of personalizing it too. But what you do is erase it completely from scratch and building a totaly different setup and hoping that it works perfectly for you. Try to understand, nothing is left from its original state!!! And what's more, you overload it significantly!

            The options you describe are very practical, true. But are they practical to a point that you use them frequently enough to have their icons setted up on your workspace? This is the real issue concerning your workspace.

            Again, this is very friendly advice.
            • OH MY GOD!!
              Your workspace is a work of art on its own! It's really beautiful...but at what point necessary?
              I can hardly make out the main thing to do that is designing in CorelDRAW! There are so many details highlighted by beautiful colors and redesigned icons that you can hardly keep the focus on the main drawing!

              Again, a 21.5 inch screen is far than enough for YOUR workspace! I really understand your frustration!
              I'd go no less than a 27 inch screen with that type of layout!

              It's as if a car mechanic would extend out ALL of his tools before working on the actual defect of the car he's going to repair!

              Personnaly, I don't think your problem will be solved on this forum. Your problem is much too specific, for you, only. Try calling CorelDRAW's customer service. And cross your fingers. I consider that, to the point where you push your program to go, Corel can't garantee their software that far.

              Good luck, friend
              • Thank Q

                Only one thing bothers me that it is not designed for my personal.  Sir i can pickup the commands what i want instantly despite of holding the icons corners or holding the menus drag and picking ups.  I really want something better.  Truly i do the work very fast and others who really surprise and asks me what is the software you are using.  I will say coreldraw proudly.  Really and appreciates my work.  I work for 10 minutes only if the work really takes for 30 minutes or so.   I want to see everything from the screen which is possible.  Its not to hurt others.  I really believe though others do not understand me but corel will definately understands.  You know the powerclip well feature is my idea besides many that they have developed.  Like they have implemented many of my suggestions that's my pride.  

                I want the shapes should be like this
