OMG Webflow, what is going on with that really dark overlay when editing symbols!
It was bad enough that the symbol switched to a light overlay, now it is a disaster.
When editing a symbol, you still need the ability to see your design in context to the rest of the page. It was always really off-putting that when editing a symbol the rest of the page greyed out, often the edits you are making are visual, cosmetic edits, so not being able to see the rest of the page whilst doing it is absolutely frustrating.
I personally would not even have the symbol as a ‘isolation mode’ element, there is no need to double click the symbol to edit it, professional designers do not need to be in isolation mode (no current pun intended) when editing a symbol, having it show as green outlines on hover is enough.
Leaving the isolation mode part to one side, which I have learnt to live with…
What is the thinking behind the dark overlay?
The entire point of the Webflow universe is to design directly on the page, in real-time, so why would you then make a UI change that physically removes the ability to visual design an element on the page.
You guys and gals, got this one very wrong.
Thanks Graham
