Cannot stop running the game. This has happened twice. Why?

Edit: looks like I can play in this screenshot, but I literally cant.

Thank you!

But no way to remove the big padding between each button, right?

Why is there no “Manage plugins” and “Plugins folder” in the “Plugins” tab? It was pretty useful.
Now I’m forced to make a custom tab, add those two buttons and then manually add every plugin again.

Found a bug

When I try to add “Save to File” and “Save to File As” to a custom tab, it just doesn’t do anything.
It only happen with those two.

I guess my next biggest problem is the tooltips. It’s not the end of the world, but they prevent other apps from running optimally while they are shown, since my computer limits their FPS. The tooltips also do not provide me any useful information and so they block content.

Would y’all consider adding a disable tooltips button in the same area where you can hide and show labels? Thanks @MeshOfPaul

I managed to find and reproduce this issue:

Hover over a button until the hover shows, then move your mouse fast to the minimize button (works too with taskbar but it’s easier to reproduce on purpose with the minimize button)

Make sure to hover over other items too while your mouse is heading to the minimize button, and then minimize the page, reopen it and then when you go to different apps like chrome (without minimizing, just opening the app ontop of roblox studio


) the issue will be present.

Also I noticed that a lot of things are missing, especially stuff I use a lot like:

  • Snap to Parts Toggle
  • Show Orientation Indicator in the context menu

Also:

  • On the plugin list, if you have a ton of plugins like I used to, there’s no scroll wheel that appears and it just goes off the page, making it impossible to reach some plugins without going through and disabling the others.

  • I also noticed that when you playtest and exit the playtest, it resets back to the “Home” tab instead of staying on your custom tab, this isn’t great for me because everything I need is on my custom tab and it’s very annoying to have to switch back to it because I playtest a LOT

  • And for a suggestion, I’m thinking a way to maybe hide the existing pre-made tabs using a settings menu maybe if you have like no use for them, even as a scripter I never really use the script tab, and all the features that I did use in there are in the custom tab, so it’d be useful to just hide it to save space.

I’d rather we make tooltips work well and be useful! We’ve been fiddling with the timing as well as the rendering issues.

Thanks! I’ll keep sharing these with our engineers.

Those are considered “complex controls” and we don’t yet support them in the Add Tools workflow. In the meantime, you can duplicate the default tab that has the controls you want and edit the copy down from there.

We’ll be killing the overflow menu in favor of horizontal scrolling. It’s a high priority item for us.

I’m not sure I understand the playtest tab issue. If I have a custom tab selected, start a play test (client/server), and then end the test session. My original Studio instance stays on the custom tab.

You can definitely hide tabs! Just right click in the tab area (but not directly on a tab) to bring up the Manage Tabs dialog.

Is there an estimate for this? The overflow menu is really annoying for me atm.

We have not touched the vertical spacing yet. We have designs that significantly cut down the padding along with options to hide tool labels and “float” the ribbon. At a minimum, tightening up the default padding is high on our list. I’ll even share a sneak peek of the mock up (work in progress, not finalized, blah, blah).

We also have some other ideas that pull this up even more.

On the vertical tools: more complex layouts like you describe with tiny icons are technically possible. We just need to get over the hump on the default stuff first and then figure out how we can allow someone to specify these fancier layouts.

Overflow menu is going away. It will horizontal scroll. Also a high priority (but thanks for validating!)

It will be done before our next big release in early June. We will push it to the Beta Feature as soon as we can (don’t have a more accurate ETA than that for now)

Looks pretty good! However, the softness and the roundness of the previous iteration should remain, and the separators should better fit with the background. But it’s a mock-up so I’ll shut up now.

Can’t wait! The overflow menu being removed is gonna be huge.

Changes to colors, including the background, are also coming. That’s a whole other sticky wicket. :sweat_smile:
