Design Revisions
| Revision | Current Design | Issues | Proposed Changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Click to Slide | Clicking the numerical area of the slider does not move the slider. | Adjusting values at the top range requires careful cursor control to avoid accidentally activating the numerical input. | Remove detection of left clicking in the numerical input area. |
| 2. Click to Enter Number | Clicking the numerical area of activates the number entry. | This disrupts slider use. | Clicking the slider activates the numerical entry and allows the slider to slide |
| 3. Grab icons changed | Grabbing hand icons are used | This is obscuring and cartoon like | Use sb_up_arrow and sb_h_double_arrow, up and side-to-side. |
MR Description
This MR improving slider usability for painters, interaction is simple. It also changes the cursors from grabbing hands to sb_up_arrow and sb_h_double_arrow, up and side-to-side.
Benefit

Loss
- Left clicking the numerical input entry will cause the slider to jump to that position and the value will change.
- User has to adapt by right clicking the numerical input for a number change without slider and value jump.
