Hello,
Thanks. This could be handy. One thing I notice is the zoom slider has
an unusual look and feel. Is this a custom control? Instead could a
standard control be used (or simulated)?
In fact, Picasa and Qt... have similar sliders. I find them nice.
Could you describe more precisely what you don't like ?
I was never a fan of Qt/KDE. :) I will try my best to to articulate
this.
I would remove the end points (either the plus/minus or the small/big
letters). Then I would change the slide shape from a circle to a
rectangle or to a square+triangle shape.
In the case of the plus/minus endpoints, they look like buttons for
increasing or decreasing the zoom. If so, they are redundant to the
slide control.
In the case of the small/big letter endpoints, they are awkward. It is
enough to label the control with the text "page zoom" (or something like
that).
In the case of the circle for the slide control, it is also awkward. A
rectangle implies a motion across the path of the slider. A
square+triangle implies setting a precise measurement and reminds me of
some real-world device.
