The Brush libraries row named four libraries. It now names the nine in
BUILTIN order (crates/engine/src/cmd/brushlib.rs), as the Window ›
Brush Libraries menu shows them, and says nine built-in libraries.
A double-click on a paragraph style's row and the panel menu both open
Paragraph Style Options (ui.paraStyleOptions, paraStyle.edit) with its
seven sections. The type-parity and ui-parity rows still called it the
rename dialog and named ui.paramDialog with paraStyle.rename; they now
name the dialog, its sections and its tests.
The target-app-parity entry said each section has a Reset Panel. Reset
Panel is unavailable in General, and the entry now states that.
learn.skills {} shows the Learn panel on its Skills tab with the list of
skills, with no skill and no tutorial open, and returns what learn.list
returns. Back to skills after a skill's last tutorial and the Quick skill
guide card on the For you tab now run it, so the control channel and MCP
can reach the same view.
- The command is listed in both UI command catalogs, and its label has a
row in every catalog.
- Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md.
Under a tutorial's steps, View more opens the tutorial's practice sample
as a new untitled document, which becomes the active one; open documents
stay as they are, and Save asks where to save the copy. Each of the 12
tutorials has its own small SVG drawing in panels/learn/samples.rs, read
only when View more is pressed.
Once the sample is open, Finish tutorial marks the tutorial finished.
A finished tutorial shows Next Up with the next tutorial's title in the
same skill, and Next Up shows that tutorial without opening its sample.
After a skill's last tutorial the panel says so and shows Back to
skills; Next Up never moves to another skill. Finished tutorials are
kept while the app runs; the skill rings and counts do not show them
yet. The help page's short video is not part of this change.
- learn.openSample, learn.finish and learn.next run the three controls
and are listed in the UI command catalogs; a missing, non-string or
unknown tutorial id, or a step out of order, is an error and changes
nothing.
- New labels and messages have rows in every catalog.
- Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md and
the ASSETS.md line for art generated in code.
With art selected, the Edit tab shows a Prominent Colors bar under the
wheel: a part for each row in its new color, as wide as the row's share
of the art, the largest first. Dragging the edge between two parts moves
width from one to the other; when the drag ends, the rows' current
colors move toward the new widths and the art previews the result. OK
keeps the recolor as one undo step.
- recolor.weigh {map, weights?, ids?} returns each row's share of the
uses of the art's colors and, with weights, the rows with their
current colors moved: one color at a time between rows that have a
new color, while a move brings the shares nearer the weights, the
color nearest in Lab to the row it goes to first. A row keeps its
first color, the tints of one global swatch move together, colors
that stay keep their order, and the command changes nothing. A use
counts for the row recolor.apply recolors it with, and the work is
bounded at 50,000,000 color-by-row comparisons.
- The New Color Group menu beside the link button has Save All Colors
(the new colors in row order) and Save Prominent Colors (the bar's
colors in its order); each saves a color group as its own undo step.
- The dialog's weights field drives the bar from ui.dialog.set. A new
Colors count drops it.
#5748 moved the Pencil's and the Paintbrush's Fidelity to screen pixels, but
docs/ui-parity.md still gave it in points. The Pencil row now gives the
slider's rail, the field and the key steps in px, and says the tool sends
path.freehand the value in points at the current zoom.
The Pencil row also appeared twice, the second copy without the Fidelity
text. The two rows are merged into one.
The comments on FIDELITY_MAX, fidelity_step, fidelity_at and fidelity_from
in the Tool Options dialog name the tool's unit, since the slider is shared
with Smooth and Blob Brush, which stay in points.
Enable Rubber Band now hides only the preview segment in the Pen, the
Curvature tool and the Smart Pen. With it off and Measurement Labels on,
the three tools still show the D / Angle / dX / dY readout at the pointer
while a path is drawn, and the Curvature tool also shows it when
going on from the current end of a selected path. With Measurement Labels
off, no readout shows either way. The click places the same anchor as
before.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (penRubberBand, curvatureRubberBand), docs/ui-parity.md,
docs/target-app-parity.md.
docs/ui-parity.md and docs/target-app-parity.md listed the distance and
angle readouts while drawing as missing. With Smart Guides > Measurement
Labels on, the Line Segment tool labels the segment being drawn with its
distance, angle and X and Y offsets, and the Pen, Curvature and Smart Pen
tools label their rubber band the same way (#2983). The Measurement
labels row is marked done, the two dimension rows drop the gap, and the
Drawing aids entry describes the labels.
The Color Theme Picker button beside the Assign and Edit tabs turns on
picking from the canvas. A click takes the color palette of the object a
Selection tool click takes there, a drag takes the palette of the art
inside its marquee, and Shift adds more picks. The rows that are not
excluded take the palette as their new colors and the art previews them;
OK keeps the recolor as one undo step.
- recolor.pickTheme {picks, colors?} returns the palette of the art
picked: visible fills and strokes, gradient stops, text, mesh points,
pattern tiles, symbol art, colorize colors and image pixels. Clip
groups, clipping opacity masks and isolation mode limit it to what
shows, and it changes nothing.
- Each object read weighs the same; similar colors merge (k-means in Lab)
into at most `colors`, most used first. Image reads are bounded (65,536
pixels a pick, 1,048,576 pixels and 64 images in all), and past 4,096
distinct colors, close colors merge before clustering.
- The dialog's themePicker and themePicks fields drive it from
ui.dialog.set. A new Colors count keeps the picks.
Pin craft-ui to c4b8405d, which adds a top edge and the canvas-side top
corner to icon-strip flyouts and saves the moved top per group. Accept
its new MoveFlyoutTop docking action, and restore the saved top when a
group returns to its place. A docking regression checks the cursors, an
upward top-edge and free-corner drag with the bottom and icon-column edge
fixed, and the top after reopening and in a saved layout.

A tool step in the Learn panel now draws the tool's name as a link. Clicking
it, or pressing Enter or Space on it, runs the new learn.locateTool command,
which marks the tool where the current layout shows it without choosing it
(the help page:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/learn-skills-quick-skill-guide.html).
- A tool shown on its toolbar button has the button marked, and a toolbar
that has scrolled it out of view scrolls it back.
- A tool in a collapsed group opens the group's flyout with its row marked;
the group keeps the tool it shows.
- A group torn off into a strip comes to the front with the tool marked.
- Toolbars made with New Toolbar are searched after the Tools panel.
- A tool that no shown toolbar holds is marked in the All Tools drawer.
- A Tools panel hidden with Window › Tools shows again. In Presentation
Mode, or while Tab hides the toolbars, the reply is "unavailable" with a
reason.
- The mark is a 2 pt outline in the selection color. It lasts 3 seconds,
until Escape (also when Escape closes the All Tools drawer), or until the
next link replaces it. These are VectorCraft's own rules.
The command takes a tool id and rejects a missing, non-string or unknown id.
Catalog steps mark the linked name in brackets, and the catalog test checks
that each one names its tool. Rows for the command and the link's hover text
are added to every complete catalog.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md.
With the Artboard tool chosen, the Align panel's Align Objects,
Distribute Objects and Distribute Spacing buttons, their UI commands and
the Control bar's Align and Distribute buttons act on the artboards the
tool has selected, as the public page describes:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/organize-manage-artboards/align-and-distribute-artboards.html
- artboard.align, artboard.distribute and artboard.distributeSpacing
move whole artboards with their guides, and with the art inside them
when Move Artwork with Artboard is on, in one undo step. No undo step
is recorded when no artboard moves.
- Align To offers Align to Selection and Align to Artboard. Align to
Artboard keeps the active artboard in place, and the Distribute
buttons then send the Distribute Spacing value. A locked artboard
stays where it is. These rules are VectorCraft's own.
- The Control bar shows the Align buttons, the Align To menu and the
Distribute buttons after the artboard controls while it has room.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/ui-parity.md.
The AppKit cursor delivery's evidence in docs/ui-parity.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md says the host sets its cursor again on every
pass while it owns it, so the tool's cursor stays when the pointer moves
(#6362). Status lines and history updated; scores and estimates
unchanged.
A selected image offers Remove Background in the Contextual Task Bar, Properties'
Quick Actions and the Control bar, as the reference app does. A click runs it at
once with its defaults, as one undo step; Object > Plug-ins > Image Tools keeps
the dialog with Preview.
