Status icons

(2) The status of how objects are displayed and edited in the current workspace is displayed in the form of an icon.
(3) If you place the mouse over the icon, a tool tip for the corresponding status is displayed. If there is a shortcut, it is displayed as well.

These are the status icons.
The icons are grouped for "display method" and "edit mode" respectively.

The icons on the left indicate information on the display method.
Some of the icons do not appear in the default state and only appear in special cases.

(2) This icon appears when Show Meshes is turned off and meshes are hidden.

(9) These icons indicate whether "only the selected modifier works" or "other modifiers work together".
(10) Status for Selection Lock. It means "other objects can't be selected", "other objects can be selected", and "only objects included in the modifier can be selected".

Invert the background color of the workspace

1.3.4

If the image is painted in dark colors, it may be difficult to distinguish the image from the background of the workspace.
Especially when creating meshes, these difficulties are felt.
You can solve this problem by inverting the colors in your workspace.
(1) We prepared an image that is difficult to distinguish from the workspace. The edges of the image are not clearly distinguished.
(2) Open the View Menu.
(3) Let's turn on the Invert Background Color (shortcut Alt+I ).

The background of the workspace has been changed to a light color.
You can now easily distinguish the edges of the image.
(To return to the original color, turn this option off in the View menu or press Alt+I again.)

The inverted background color can be changed in the Settings Dialog.
