Modern UI

Yes - it's working fine in latest version. This module was installed on 0.19 ... but still it's in 0.21 config

It is already possible to mark it as deprecated in a specific version of freecad, it just needs an entry in addonflags.json. Advanced users can still install it, but it won't show in the Addons list by default.

So it's not broken then?

I will try install Freecad on new computer father - there is no any setup from old versions so we can try "installer module" in clean new Freecad on windows but in next weekend.

I would do some more test, but my last experience I had issues with new functions mostly noticable in techdraw and uninstalling.

When I enable the "File" toolbar in the view menu, it disappears as soon as I close the Modern UI menu. If I enable the toolbar via the default view menu, it disappears when I switch workbenches.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Did you already try with 0.21? Adding your FreeCAD infos may help the experts.

Hi! No, I haven't tried 0.21. I'm on 0.20.2 official. I'll give it a try

The Modern UI preferences provide only two button sizes: small and big.
These are two extremes:

On one hand, the small buttons are too tiny (they strain the eyes).

Also, where the buttons have a drop-down select overlay (a black triangle), it becomes very difficult to click on the drop-down triangle because it is too tiny.

On the other hand, the big icons are too large (the row of buttons runs out of screen space.)

Note that the whole screen width is occupied by very few buttons, and the user will have to scroll very frequently to use the other buttons.
This is too tedious.

Therefore, it would be nice if we can have one or two intermediate sizes of buttons.
(at minimum, let us have one more size: "medium" size)

Thanks in advance!

-------------
BTW, when we select the "big buttons" option, the number of rows setting does not work at all. [BUG]
All buttons appear in just one single row (see the screenshot above).
