Filter- und Arbeitsebenen-Dialoge: Können nun mit Farbaufnehmer auch Bereich auslesen (mit Strg)
Filter and working level dialogs: Can now read out areas with color pickups (with Ctrl or Command on macOS)
So this thing seems also work as manual area for normal Color Picker. So it is possible to pick manually any rectangle and not rely on "invisible" fixed (1 by 1, 5 by 5, 11 by 11...) area in Color Picker Settings. Very nice option!
Also really love realtime preview in R G B curves!
There is a problem with some icons invert when UI switched to dark mode. They just became near invisible and don't inverted in dark mode. Seems problem in not in icon itself but somewhere in PhotoLine code. Seems problem because they use some special (+) sign.
"Border Matting" icon (icon layer 15162 +). Also some other similar icons in custom Toolbar that don't inverted in dark UI mode: Context Help (57669 +), Animate Layers (12419 +), Show Ruler (12221 +), Outline List (12260 + Outlines/Umrisse), Slideshow (12006 +), and some other icons layers: 12451 +, 20007 +, 20121 +, 20096 +

I had a look on our pictures.pld file and see, that the "+" have been removed from all mentioned icons in the past.
So you should do the same on your icon file.
I see, that we didn't change this in PicturesSimple.pld, so I will do the same

I agree, these are excellent improvements to the already excellent Curves.

I attempt to remove (+) from icon name but this just disables icon and instead read other icon from color icons pld. So yes, please change this in PicturesSimple.pld and PicturesSimpleUser.pld and adjust PhotoLine code to read icons with new names.
Seems another part of this problem is that even Pictures.pld still use some legacy raster icons. Some icons where replaced by vector versions but still use (+) sign in the name. In my custom icons set i replaced all those icons by vector versions but seems due (+) mark in name PhotoLine attempt to invert them as raster images.

Small conflict in Selection tool. When i press "Shift" to quickly "Add to Lasso" it also always turns on "Proportional" and it impossible to turn it off. Both use Shift as modifier. This cause conflict.
Currently the solution is do not use Shift but turn "Add to Lasso" manually by clicking on icon. This slows down things sometimes.

Press Shift and click into the picture to start "Add". Then release Shift and drag your lasso as you want.

I just removed the "+" and no problem here. No adjustment in code was necessary.

It doesn't matter if an icon is raster or vector.
I just removed all "+" in the names and see no problem here at the moment.
Ok, i see where is the problem now!
I can remove (+) from layers names in file /Applications/PhotoLine.app/Contents/Resources/PicturesSimple.pld and things work well, as you described.
But if remove (+) from names in custom icons file located in /Users/username/Library/Preferences/PhotoLine/Help/PicturesSimpleUser.pld PhotoLine just ignore those renamed icon layers and instead use default backup icons from /Applications/PhotoLine.app/Contents/Resources/Pictures.pld

P.S. Too bad that users can't delete posts in forum threads and so make them more compact and easier to read for developers. It is also unknown who moderates "Beta Betatester unter sich" forum and whom ask to delete posts marked with "..."
