I take that to represent a menu with 3 options (List, Icon, Compact) and a vertical slider. Wasn't there talk about getting rid of compact view? A marking menu could rock, using one direction for a slider. With a rather low number of zoom levels, the levels and modes could be the 2 axes of a grid, allowing to represent and change the state with a single marker. There could be an in-place preview of the effect before actual selection. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
