Contextual Task Bar in Illustrator 2023, Understanding How it Works | Beginner’s Guide

[@shubhamtripathi4819]

Hello @Elias Thanks for the wonderful explanation showcasing the use of Contextual Task Bar. I was curious enough to understand from you that if you were to improve it further how/what functionalities would you have expected to be part of the taskbar for the following object types:- 1. Closed/Open Paths 2. Grouped Objects 3. Mixed Selection 4. Raster Image Selection 5. Text

How do I pin the Contextual Task Bar? It always appears in the middle of the screen and is quite annoying.

[@EliasSarantopoulos]

Just drag it around. Personally, I turn it on/off depending the project. 😀

[@amdival1823]

​@@EliasSarantopoulos Yeah, but it doesn't stay pinned. Everytime I open a new document it appears right in the middle of the screen and the portion I have to click to drag it is super small. I'll likely just turn it off. It doesn't offer anything I already don't know how to find otherwise.

[@EliasSarantopoulos]

@@amdival1823 That is true but or has its usage for sure, again depending your tasks. 😀👋

Another annoying "upgrade" by adobe that no one wants. Fix the bugs instead of adding new features.

[@EliasSarantopoulos]

In all honesty it has been buggy lately, hopefully they will iron out those.
