The horizontal lines that were previously there in the artboard days made it far easier to see where things started and stopped, any plans to bring them back? The bold text isn’t as glanceable and a bit of a step backward
This is one of the biggest downgrades in the new version of Sketch. I already mentioned it in the beta topic and the answer was that it is not possible at the moment due to the new implementation. I really hope there is a solution for this!
Yeah, now I’m using it in anger on real stuff it’s way more annoying than I anticipated. I’m basically not selecting anything in the layer list anymore
Yeah, they copied Figma too much with the new update
Do you mean on the sidebar? Yeah, it’s quite frustrating to not know where one ‘artboard’ or frame starts and ends.

Another vote here. Still present in the latest Beta and quite annoying.
I jump between the old Sketch and the beta a lot and it really makes the Sidebar readability quite bad.

I’d like to bump this as it’s still an issue and makes the sidebar really hard to navigate even in the latest release
Thanks
i agree that
Designers at Sketch, please do (re)acquaint yourself with WCAG2.2 and general Product Design principles (like Bauhaus).
Left sidebar: basically you removed all visual categorization (Files/Pages/Frames etc.). This does not help with orientation.
On the other hand you introduced these masses of icons. Icons for often recurring actions (Cancel/Save etc.) are fine. Distinctive icons for EVERYTHING (Menu, Actions, States) adds just visual clutter, impedes readability and increases cognitive load.
The worst thing is the context-sensitive display. When I edit a “Frame/Ex-Artboard”, the other frames get hidden. Why? This, for instance, leads to multiple clicks more when copying one thing from one Frame to another Frame. It rips the user out of flow.
Design is making things easy, not more complicated.
