This window can be confusing. One improvement can be the use of two icons for active/off (gray-out), instead of switching an icon on/off.
In that same window the arrow-icon on/off remains a confusing event for me: when I select a layer, other icons switch on/off in respons. Finally, it can be very hard to find out on which layer an item is. No problem with two layers, but my current diagram has 6 and when I placed an item on the wrong layer it requires some layer on/off switching to find out on what layer it went. But I use dia about every day: not a bad tool at all ;) On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 09:54:40AM -0400, Michael Ross wrote: > It is a secret, one I have lost myself in the past.
