Over a two-month period, contributed to the aseprite/aseprite repository by developing user interface enhancements focused on brush preview visibility. Built a toggle feature in C++ that allows users to show or hide the brush preview within the preview window, reducing visual clutter and aligning with user expectations. Subsequently refactored this functionality into a global preference, ensuring consistent behavior across all documents and simplifying the user experience. The work involved configuration management and UI development, with careful attention to maintainability and traceability through targeted commits. These changes addressed multiple user-reported issues and improved the scalability of the preferences architecture within the project.
