 I stare at it, looking for the option I want before finding it. Here is what throws me off. For reference, there are the five rows of controls presented:

Here’s what’s confusing to me.

  • In row 2, the left-most button switches modes (auto, freeform), but it’s *inside* the mode that is set by row 1, confusingly in the same row as the mode modifiers. Also, the icon for this button is meaningless to me.
  • Rows 2 and 4 four directly affect each other, yet they are separated by W/H.
  • Rows 3 and 5 directly affect each other, yet they are separated by layout origin/spacing.
  • BTW I love the layout of row 4! It’s just feels like it’s in the wrong place.

 

This would make so much more sense (to me)
