Well the cursor change in shape so I think that there is plenty of space in those without possibility of mistaking the rate. Anyway I may suggest a better handling? Why not use all the area for the coarse setting and changing to fine setting via a key modifier like Shift that is not used in that context? You can even think of a different modifier like Ctrl for fixed 10 steps settings, with the cursor shape change to signal this behaviour of corse... What do you think about it? -- Marco Ciampa I know a joke about UDP, but you might not get it. +--------------------+ | Linux User #78271 | | FSFE fellow #364 | +--------------------+ _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
