First Look at the ArtRage 5 Beta Interface

This is the beta. There may be changes in the final release.

I wonder if the new panels vanish automatically when you draw on that areas where they are on top of the image, like the old panels do?

By the way, there should be a shortcut for hidding the new panels too, when you are in the 'old' mode. It would be nice to hide only the
old panels with Tab or both types together with another keyboard shortcut.

Yes, the upper menu bar and side docking panels disappear when you paint under them. And 'tab' still closes all the menus/pods in Classic mode, the same way it always did. It just doesn't clear the screen completely (different interfaces for different workstyles).

The disappearing panels are one of my favorite ArtRage features.

Since I wasn't really drawing, I did not get to demonstrate that in the video.
