Desk 1.0.2
Soft keys learn to speak in pictures in this one: a library of drawn icons, an ink of their own, and a way to choose both that finally matches the desk.
-
A glyph library for your keys — a soft key can now wear an icon from a bundled set of nearly two hundred professionally drawn glyphs: transport, arrows, media, power, symbols, and more, all ready to drop onto a key
-
Glyph row is an image well that opens a searchable, paginated grid; type “record” or “arrow” and it narrows as you go, a click prints the icon, and Clear lets the key go bare again
-
Glyph ink — print a key's icon in a color of its own: the console's engraving, or any of the twelve crayons, kept apart from the backlight so a key can glow one color and wear another, bundled icon and symbol alike
-
Color as swatches — the Glyph Color and Backlight rows now open a swatch well into a grid of the crayon box, matching the glyph picker, so choosing a color looks and feels like choosing an icon
-
Your own symbols still work — an SF Symbol name a desk already carries keeps rendering, and a small disclosure at the foot of the picker keeps the type-a-name path alive for anyone who wants it
-
A library that reads well — glyphs are named for what they are, keeping their word breaks and acronyms (Emoticon Tongue, MIDI Controller) and shedding the size tag a download leaves on the end
-
Only keys wear glyphs — faders, pots, jog dials, and encoders no longer offer an icon or an ink, having no key face to print one on
Thanks for being an early adopter.
