This also fixes some issues in the default startup.blend (triangulated cube…).An application template is a special zip folder to tweak the UI, change the theme colors, customize shortcut keys and you can even launch custom addon presets based on your theme.

User preferences are shared between these templates though. Since these are application templates, users can save a separate startup.blend for each. These can now be acessed from the File > New, Ctrl+N, or the splash screen. Workspaces: move 2D Animation, VFX and Video workspaces into own templates. I’veĭisabled this, to me it seems it was unintentional, or at least notĬlear at all that saving user preferences also makes the current Previously Save User Preferences would save the current app templateĪnd then Blender would start using that template by default. Useful in general, not all app templates need their own keymaps for The template includes a custom userpref.blend. User preferences are now fully shared between app templates, unless Workspaces can now be added from any of the template startup.blendįiles when clicking the (+) button in the topbar. The “Default” template was renamed to “General”.

The goal here is to make app templates usable for default templates Application Templates: make templates more prominent in the UI.
