Hmm, it does not seem to be a theme problem. Switching to the Blender theme does not fix it. And the color in the theme fits.

[ReinerBforartists]

It shows orange with vertices mode, with edge mode, but not with face mode. Looks like a problem in the code somewhere.

hmm maybe this is related to the goo engine patch we applied a while ago, maybe it got killed by Blender changes

[Draise14]

I thought I fixed this. I'll check the commit logs now.

[ReinerBforartists]

Friends, this is a showstopper that we need to fix ...

[Draise14]

It's a theme issue. Already fixed locally. I'm not at the computer till Sunday evening or Monday. But can do it then.

Did it make it into the official release?

[ReinerBforartists]

Yes it has.

The devbuild from 04-11-2023 did work fine. Everything behind this point is broken it seems. Devbuild from 10-11-2023 already shows the problem.

Will work this this afternoon, it is kinda annoying changing this often every new compile, so yeah. High priority.

Would this be worth a 4.0.2 release?

[ReinerBforartists]

Your decision :)

Meow?

Users becomes impatient ^^

Sadly not sure what is the issue, I have to investigate when I get home, currently 11 AM at school

@Draise14 said it is a theming issue. And that it is fixed at his end already. So i basically wait for the commit. And the decision if we make a point release since this is a showstopper bug.

[Draise14]

Will do this after commit logs. Work has been crazy since coming back from the BCON, I'm 2 weeks behind absolutely everything.

I'm not sure about a new release yet, though it might be more stable. 4.0 was a lot buggier than the current 4.1 right now.

Don't you love the time before christmas ^^

I do not love the time before Christmas... 😂

Mode Face Selected is an additional layer of selection coloring when NOT in face selection mode. So it's easier to see what mode you're in (edge or vertex, though full face is selected). So as a UX, I think active and selected faces in face mode is typical orange and when in edge and vertex mode, selected faces is now the optional "selected" colour from the outliner, a blue, which allows to see edge and vertex selection better.

Updates:

• I made the edge/vertex/face active vs selected same colours
• Made the the edge and vertex face sub-selection a blue (like the outliner active vs selected) colours.

Pushed to master.

Not sure if worth updating every single screen capture with mesh selection in the documentation ...? Should I take that monumental task?

[ReinerBforartists]

Make it a task in the manual :)

[Draise14]

Righteo.
