Secondly, the 'Coarse' normal map is *so close* to being a perfect reference palette for me. It's so easy to visualise which direction each swatch points in based on the size of the swatch. However, all of the values I'd like to sample sit *in between*  swatches. If it was rotated half a swatch it would be perfect.

I want to take the normal values for the faces that point up, down, left, right, and in the 45 degree diagonals, but the values of these always fall between 2 swatches. Therefore, there are no swatches in this reference which I can use.

Screenshot of the 'Coarse' reference image, with the irrelevant parts blacked out. Note how the 0, 45 90, 135 etc. degree faces do not have swatches in this reference. The closest values are 7.5 degrees away (e.g if I wanted to sample a face that's at an angle of 0 degrees, the closest values would be for faces that are at an angle of -7.5 or +7.5 degrees)

I'll keep an eye out for any future releases which could help with these. Thanks again for your work, and I will happily donate for the above changes

Thank you for pointing that out! Here is a fixed version.

As for the UI problem your'e facing, unfortunately it will take much more time, as I need to not only come up with good solution, but also need to build it for all platforms and then, test if everything works on Win, Linux and Mac. (without access to a Mac device it is very hard for me), so please be patient :)

Thank you so much for the new reference image! That's amazing!

No worries with the UI scaling. It sounds like a difficult problem to solve. As it is, the NM Inspector app is already very useful for me, so thank you for your work. I sent another $5 as a little thank you.

All the best!
