A UI in which you do a big task. There is an OK button in the lower right (no other controls are as prominent) . The meaning of OK is silently discard all the work you did.
Elsewhere in the UI there is a tiny (at least on my system) green and white thing, that once I knew what it was, I could recognize as a floppy disk icon (meaning “save”).
I’m talking about the new UI for Custom Toolbar Creator.
I’m asking whether you think it would waste as much time for ordinary new users as it wasted for me.

If it’s just me, I’ll accept that answer. Otherwise, I should move this to Development, and maybe try to write it as an issue at Github (where I haven’t yet figured out how to reuse the old login I haven’t touched in years).
Hm.. I’m not sure I understand your points, sorry.
The dialog allows to manage several presets and it is necessary to save preset before closing the dialog. Yet Ok for the button could be misleading indeed, Close is better.
Yet anyway, functionality for custom toolbar creator is under rework now and will be updated in on of subsequent updates.
As a matter of UI design, you should try to think more about what a user encountering this for the first time will understand or fail to understand.
The save icon is tiny and in an unexpected place.
Yes, half the problem is that the button you might legitimately call “close” is labeled “OK”. Fixing that is a lot better than not fixing it.
Yes, once you understand the UI, it is perfectly usable. It won’t trouble experienced users.
But if you make things hard enough for inexperienced users, you won’t accumulate experienced users.
People are used to modal controls, like that one, having the Apply equivalent button prominent at the bottom and having the OK button mean apply and close, not discard and close.
Please take this as a suggestion for that process, not criticism of the expected fact that work-in-progress is not perfect.
