It’s been a year already. 12 months, 12 consecutive updates. This anniversary release may not seem like much, but it’s certainly the biggest so far. I redesigned all the brushes from scratch! The new thumbnails are circular. That way, all the information they can convey is available whether you look at the pop-up palette or the presets list. The design is also unique so that it’s easy to differentiate from other bundles.
The updated design reads a lot better when the thumbnails get small. If you work on a laptop, a tablet, or if you have a lot of presets in the docker, you can now spot the one you want faster.

The old brushes and the new ones in the presets docker. That’s quite a change, isn’t it?
There are up to 4 elements in each thumbnail:
- The base or background color indicates the bundle a brush belongs to
- The outline shows which family the preset belongs to
- The pictogram, in the top-right corner, tells you what the brush is intended for
- The stroke is prominent, in the center

A handful of layers are all it takes to generate the complete thumbnail
I wrote a python script to automate the process, and make it easier to improve them moving forward. As this is a big change, I’m counting on you to tell me what you think!
