McKinley is an upcoming app for creating SF Symbols. --- ## [Add text to place in SF Symbol export](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/add-text-to-place-in-sf-symbol-export/42)
**Author:** [@BrunoScheele](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/u/BrunoScheele)\ **Replies:** 2\ **Last updated:** [October 14, 2026, 2:55pm UTC](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/add-text-to-place-in-sf-symbol-export/42 "2026-10-14T14:55:08Z")
It would be pretty neat if we could add some text that would be rendered into the SF Symbol export. Now it just says “Template 7.0” (required) and “Generated from X”. But I would like it if I could add my own text there.… --- ## [Adjacent areas still leave gaps when filled](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/adjacent-areas-still-leave-gaps-when-filled/35)
**Author:** [@BrunoScheele](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/u/BrunoScheele)\ **Replies:** 5\ **Last updated:** [October 14, 2026, 12:25pm UTC](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/adjacent-areas-still-leave-gaps-when-filled/35 "2026-10-14T12:25:58Z")
I’m assuming this is going to always be an issue, because interpolation, floating points and so on. But it would be neat if you could have areas that are completely adjacent to each other that — when filled with the same… --- ## [Quick-look preview not entirely visible](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/quick-look-preview-not-entirely-visible/37)
**Author:** [@BrunoScheele](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/u/BrunoScheele)\ **Replies:** 1\ **Last updated:** [October 13, 2026, 2:04pm UTC](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/quick-look-preview-not-entirely-visible/37 "2026-10-13T14:04:45Z")
This is likely due to the selection controls also taking up space and the preview itself being centered, but in smaller Quicklook windows, the preview isn’t showing completely. --- ## [Can't drag raster images in the Layers panel](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/cant-drag-raster-images-in-the-layers-panel/39)
**Author:** [@BrunoScheele](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/u/BrunoScheele)\ **Replies:** 1\ **Last updated:** [October 13, 2026, 1:50pm UTC](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/cant-drag-raster-images-in-the-layers-panel/39 "2026-10-13T13:50:20Z")
It appears I’m not able to drag raster images from in the Layers panel. Clicking and dragging on it has no effect whatsoever. --- ## [Changing font size sets style to regular](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/changing-font-size-sets-style-to-regular/40)

If I set a font style to other than regular and later change the font size, it changes style back to regular. --- ## [How to use gray](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/how-to-use-gray/38)

Is it possible to have gray lines/fills in a monochrome mode (circle cut in half), or is it necessary to create a custom palette with gray colors in the multicolor mode? --- ## [Heart-shaped outline causes artifacts](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/heart-shaped-outline-causes-artifacts/36)
**Author:** [@BrunoScheele](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/u/BrunoScheele)\ **Replies:** 2\ **Last updated:** [October 6, 2026, 3:20am UTC](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/heart-shaped-outline-causes-artifacts/36 "2026-10-06T03:20:42Z")
I’m making a Zelda heart container, but using a heart-shaped outlined causes Apple’s rendering to create an artifact. This is because the outer outline renders the top curve of the heart with a little bow, which sticks o… --- ## [Renaming after selecting an object doesn't move focus to text field](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/renaming-after-selecting-an-object-doesnt-move-focus-to-text-field/28)
**Author:** [@BrunoScheele](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/u/BrunoScheele)\ **Replies:** 4\ **Last updated:** [October 4, 2026, 3:20pm UTC](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/renaming-after-selecting-an-object-doesnt-move-focus-to-text-field/28 "2026-10-04T15:20:47Z")
When you select an object, and then click on it in the layer view to rename it, the focus is not moved to the text field, even though the name visually changes to indicate “Start renaming”. This causes any rename action… --- ## [Variant preview should ignore knockout for positioning](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/variant-preview-should-ignore-knockout-for-positioning/27)

I was making an icon visually the same size in both filled and not-filled version. While taking a look on how it looks smaller (without preview), I was initially confused because the variant preview jumps up and down whi… --- ## [Text alignment vs positioning text objects](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/text-alignment-vs-positioning-text-objects/22)
**Author:** [@AndyDentPerth](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/u/AndyDentPerth)\ **Replies:** 4\ **Last updated:** [October 3, 2026, 7:10pm UTC](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/text-alignment-vs-positioning-text-objects/22 "2026-10-03T19:10:26Z")
The text box possibly needs a text alignment option. Doing centred text is not possible if you want to keep it editable. Text objects don’t trigger View - Snap to Smart Guides. There’s no restriction on dragging them ar… --- ## [Idea: Icon family preview](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/idea-icon-family-preview/32)

I don’t remember where I’ve seen this, but it’s a very neat idea. In addition to the regular Preview window, it would be neat if there was a “Icon family preview” option as well. So what this looked like is basically a … --- ## [Inner radius for Black weight often very sharp](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/inner-radius-for-black-weight-often-very-sharp/31)

You can see that my van here has sharp inner corners. This also happens in other vector tools, so it’s understandable, but it would be nice if there was some kind of ‘minimum corner rounding’ that you could set, so it ne… --- ## [SOLVED: 'Export as SF Symbol' appears to remember and use an old filename by default](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/solved-export-as-sf-symbol-appears-to-remember-and-use-an-old-filename-by-default/29)

While duplicating files to make other styles (from fill to non-fill, for example), I noticed that for the non-filled version, the ‘Export as SF Symbol’ would keep suggesting van.fill as the default filename, even though … --- ## [Hide layer(s) or rearrange layers](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/hide-layer-s-or-rearrange-layers/13)
**Author:** [@talos-iconfactory](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/u/talos-iconfactory)\ **Replies:** 6\ **Last updated:** [September 22, 2026, 10:55pm UTC](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/hide-layer-s-or-rearrange-layers/13 "2026-09-22T22:55:01Z")
Say I have Layers A, B and C. I want to align or scale an object in A to match something in C. So I need to hide B in order to view C. Another work around is to able to drag and rearrange the layer orders. --- ## [Open docs are immediately dirty](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/open-docs-are-immediately-dirty/20)
**Author:** [@AndyDentPerth](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/u/AndyDentPerth)\ **Replies:** 3\ **Last updated:** [September 18, 2026, 8:19pm UTC](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/open-docs-are-immediately-dirty/20 "2026-09-18T20:19:23Z")
As soon as you open a document, it’s marked as dirty. This is very disconcerting. I wanted to close a few docs I had opened and wasn’t sure if I had intentionally made changes and forgotten to save or not. It adds stre… --- ## [Stroke options (inside/center/outside)](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/stroke-options-inside-center-outside/23)

If I understand correctly, strokes are currently always centered on the path. Would it be possible to add options to align the stroke to the inside or outside of the path? This would be particularly useful for keeping t… --- ## [Support squircle / continuous rounded rectangle corners](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/support-squircle-continuous-rounded-rectangle-corners/19)

Basically all rounded rectangles on iOS, including SF Symbols, use squircles (continuously smooth corners) instead of classic circular corners. It would be great if McKinley supported this.

First of all: Love this! I’m a Design System Designer and I have been wondering if we could use SF symbols in my teams iOS app. However, drawing them with Apple’s template in Figma or Illustrator was literally crazy-mak… --- ## [Save As dialog has bad overlap on macOS26.6.2](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/save-as-dialog-has-bad-overlap-on-macos26-6-2/21)

Unless I am missing something, there doesn’t appear to be a way to apply the “Erase Behind” option on a layer, which only erases behind the filled parts of the layer. Very useful when you want to overlap layers with some… --- ## [SF Symbol comes apart on iOS15](https://doubleandthrice.discourse.group/t/sf-symbol-comes-apart-on-ios15/25)
