Bring Back Colored Icons

Hey everyone, I came across a guide that shows how to bring back the colored icons in version three. Just keep in mind that this is not an official method, and anyone who tries it does so at their own risk.

GitHub - ShawnTheBeachy/return-affinity-colors: Modifies the Serif.Affinity.dll file to return colored tool icons for Affinity v3.

Great effort. But it’s only for Windows. I want colored icons! I don’t like Photoshop. Left it years ago.

Monochrome iconography is optional in the previous versions of the Affinity apps. It makes no sense for such a choice to have been removed.

Hello Sinudes and welcome to the forum.

Many thanks for your contribution. As for now (after the closure of the official Affintiy forums) Affintiy users are spread across several 'communication channels.' I think your effort to network and spread information is very valuable here.
