Hypershade tab toolbar

 
 
 
View As Icons

Displays the swatches as icons with text.

When viewing swatches as icons, you can select the size: Small, Medium, Large or Extra Large.

View As List

Displays the swatches as text only (a much more compact display). In large scenes with many shading elements (materials, textures, lights, for example), this option improves the performance of Hypershade.

When viewing swatches as a list, you can select the size: Small, Medium, Large or Extra Large.

Groups swatches together by type (Blinn, or Phong, for example), and sorts the groups alphabetically (A-Z).
