What's the single most annoying issue about Daz prevent you from using it more often?

I can answer that, at least for me. First, the default has been fine for me. The grey is familiar and inoffensive. The yellow is very yellow, but it works and there's nothing I want so much more that it's worth it to bother about. So I leave it  Occasionally, I may accidentally change something, and then some items change settings too. Then I have to change them back, or at least change them to something that's ok. Beyond that, custom settings can get lost or reset. Then I have to remember how to change them back to the custom version. It's a bother, and I'd rather not. TL;DR: LAZINESS!  BTW: Happy New Year, my friend! 

Fair point, I'm admittedly pretty anal about customisation as I bristle when encountering default settings, I remember my first ever PC the first thing I did when I got it home was to spend hours meticulously customising and configuring as much as I could!!

And a very joyous and prosperous new year for you too!

it makes no difference to legibility of the "faded" parameters, no matter what colours one chooses those always blend into the background and rarely highlight if moused over

Yeah, you have a point, I never really thought about that, thanks for the info!

May you, and your magnificent cats have an incredibly joyous new year!!

Hmmmm .... if you read the last statement in my original post, you'll note that I have attemted to modify it myself. As Wendy noted (see below), no matter what you do, the faded parameters are always low contrast ... no matter how you edit them. Hopefully this is better in the new beta.

I fully admit that I did not, I just skimmed your post due to laziness, so that's on me... But yes, one thing's for certain, Daz Studio's micro script does get tiring after a while...

Enjoy your new year, and may your next one always outshine the last!

I don't customize my interface much because I just don't care. The most I've done to customize my DS interface was to close all the panes on the lower right side of the screen beside parameters, surfaces and cameras (and I could probably do without cameras as well). Hell, I loaded a product recently that turned my viewport black, and I haven't even bothered figuring out how to fix it back.

LOL! You, my friend, are my polar opposite! That's a fair point, as we have equal, yet opposite perspectives on DS!

May you enjoy the new year, and whatever it brings!

.... There was a AAA game that launched with load times of 10 minutes. Gamers complained. They rewrote their allocator, patched and anecdotal feedback from customers was that loading was down to 30 seconds.

That's just the sort of thing that is needed here. I must admit I have always been amazed at the memory allocation speed of the vanilla C functions compared to C++ objects. Sometimes it makes you wonder if C++ is a sensible language to pursue.

Have you tried the current Public Build (beta) - that has a higher contrast colour scheme for the Darkside style.

Hmm, I don't have a "Darkside" option in the beta (4.23.1.8). There is an option listed as "Full Service (Beta)", it might be a bit better??? but it's still difficult to see (plus it will take some work to get it shaped into something framiliar). If that's is the one you were thinking of, let me know and I'll give it a real test. Any improvement would be greatly appreciated.

That is a layout (Window>Workspace>Select Layout) which controls what elements appear where. You want a style (Window>Style>Select Style) which controls the colours and shapes of UI elements (and you can also customise the colours through the commands in the same menu).

Keeping track of assets.  I used to spend hours filling out the Categories for all the assets I collected, and eventually gave up because it was just too much.  Now I find my assets through the daz deals 'show owned' feature.  But I miss how easy it was to find things when I had my categories working.

Well DUH! I was already using the Darkside style, but there is a "Midnight" option that is higher contrast. I changed the green to a higher contrast yellow, and in general it is easier to read now. Thanks!!!!!

I use Daz Studio on a weekly basis, at the very least. I don't buy new content as often as I used to. Most of what is made isn't appealing to me, and the route of buying things I don't really want in support of PA's hasn't really proven to benefit me in the long run. I don't feel G9 is suited to male characters, and male content I think that is well done is always in short supply.

 

I'll be having shoulder surgery on my right arm in a month, and I'm right handed. Recovery time is going to be lengthy, and I'll be prioritizing my job for fumbling with my left hand.

Maybe the break will do me some good. My Daz+ runs out in June, anyway.
