Ah yes, with a little bit of experimenting I found a 3 sticker definition, and soon afterwards I found a nice one. However, I fully intend to stick with quick macro apply from now on. I see what you mean about the highlighting not following the piece when the piece is highlighted with a right click, but I was only interested in using it for the "Highligh by Colours" anyway, so I’m happy, and nobody seems to have requested the same implementation for right click highlighting. I’m personally pretty happy with this version, I can’t think of anything which urgently needs added or changed, so I would like to send a huge thanks for all your hard work in making this program (as if you didn’t already know how much I appreciate it). Now back to solving, and hopefully I will get better at solving it without getting distracted, I’m still solving the 3C pieces! And I’m meant to be a speedsolver …

For the highlighting during twists, I’ve fixed that situation when you use "Highlight by Colors", but not for the single piece. I’ll take a look on it, but not very soon.

Especially given that it seems to require quite a few stickers to define a position (6 is the fewest I could find easily). I preferred the MC5D system where I just had to select the macro and if it was backwards or forwards, so a similar system here should be great. I don’t think speed to change between 2-click and 3-click is much of a problem personally, but maybe that’s just me. I mainly use 3-click but every so often 2-click is much better, but not often. I would also like to second a request made a few days ago, can’t remember who made it, about highlighting pieces. I also like to make twists when I have a certain piece highlighted, and it is a little cumbersome to reset the search after every move or two in order to see the piece again. Since I know a fairly quick workaround it isn’t a huge problem, but it can still be annoying. Nice work on these updates though, I will be trying them out soon.
