Things you can do with corners in Sketch: - Round them on the Canvas (or in the Inspector) - Choose how smooth they are - Round them on boolean shapes - Set their radius to MAX (which sticks at any shape size) - Set them to Auto for perfect concentricity with their parent shape

Did you know you can copy a color from Sketch in your favorite format? Hex, RGB, HSL, SwiftUI, NSColor and UIColor (in their respective Obj-C and Swift flavors). We got ’em all covered. And we’ll remember what you picked for next time.

Overlapping stack items is nice but have you ever wanted to decide which order they overlap in? Well do we have an Inspector control for you!

Depending on how the design crit is going, you can take one of two approaches in Sketch: 1. Filter for unread comments, detach the comments panel, click each comment to go to the relevant layer, make changes, hit resolve, respond politely. 2. Mark all as read.

When we shipped stacks last year, the most common request was “but what about overlapping cards or avatars?” Well, you can do those now! Give your stacks a negative gap and your items will overlap. You can even choose the order they overlap.

“When I add borders to my stack items it messes up my layout!” We got you. You can exclude them from the layout now.

Sketch @sketch.com · 18/09/2026
You can give your items in your stacks a minimum and maximum size, so if they grow or shrink they stop at a sensible point. Naturally this only applies to items with a non-fixed size. If you fixed their size we’re going to assume you got that just right.

Two color picker tips for you: 1. Hold shift to select a color variable instead of a raw value. You have to be using a color variable to start with, of course. And you are, right?? 2. Scroll to make the loupe bigger so it’s easier to grab the right color in tight spaces.

Things you can do with a FREE Sketch dev seat in any web browser: - View designs (the whole thing, on a proper web canvas, yes, really) - Leave comments, get replies, “passionately discuss” implementation details - Measure between layers in designs, toggle grid and layout views 🧵 1/3

You can just… multi-paste things. (It works with Paste, Paste Over, and Paste and Replace.)

Oklab and Oklch gradients? Yeah, we got ’em. That’s it. That’s the post.

Sometimes you just want to paste a shadow, or a fill, or a border, or an effect… Luckily, you can! Use Option-Command-C to copy a layer’s properties, right-click another layer and choose what you want to paste. Also, holding Option while you paste replaces existing styles.

Connect your Sketch Workspace to Slack, paste a link to a document (or page, or frame, or preview…), and get a nice big preview right where you’re chatting. We’ve saved you a click, and possibly 2 minutes of your day. You can have that time back. You’ve earned it, champ.

I was going to write some joke about wrapping in stacks and wrapping presents for Christmas but I can’t bring myself to do it. Stacks can wrap in Sketch now, even if they’re vertical stacks. Go check it out. That’s it. That’s the post.

ICYMI we just shipped a big redesign — and an all-new Inspector. It’s a complete write that we started earlier in the year. It meant we could do things like break out the color picker into its own panel and give color variables a much more prominent home. But there’s more! 🧵
