I'm working on a big project, that has a huge artboard.
There are a million comments. When I click a comment, then it zooms all the way out, so I can see the entire artboard (6% zoom). Which means that I lose track of where I were.
It appears to have something to do with the commenter having commented a lot on the give... |

The printing company that I use prefer all files to be supplied in RGB. The only problem for me is accidentally picking a colour that is too bright.

It's pretty common nowadays—especially for UI mockups—to replace insignificant text with subdued rectangles. See example below.

I have been trying to vertically center text within a box in Inkscape 1.2, using the tool circled in red:

It is common to see the recommendation to have icons be pixel-snapped to avoid blurriness. However, I've done a test with more or less the same image, one pixel-snapped and one unaligned with the pixel grid and I can't observe any difference in blurriness. I've set my laptop to several different resolutions, but none c... |

I'm confused, why aren't the scales in the plot (with the labels 6000, 4000, 3000, etc.) forming a right angle with the Planckian locus? In my understanding, for a color not on the locus, one chooses the perceptionally closest color on the locus and takes the color temperature from there. But if the metric of CIE 193... |

It seems to me that if your stroke width is odd (e.g. 1), wouldn't it make more sense to have an odd number of pixels so you could perfectly center lines and be aligned to pixels?

Here's an example. If I know I want this icon to always be this... |

I have tried a few font identification services, to no avail.
