Re: [Rosegarden-devel] Matrix zoom

[Julie S <msj...@ya...>]

Hello All,

Concerning Jani's thoughts about the visibility of the large scroll widget.

I don't think the limits have to change, just the perception of where we are reading the values.

In Jani's photo he showed the zoom at it's max (or min) with full blue across the top.

The current version of the widget read from the center of the wheel in either direction full blue bar / full white bar.

We can limit it like was mentioned--on both ends, or we could just pretend we are reading from the top of the wheel.

In this scenario, the full blue on the top would be one extreme, and no bars visible on the widget would be the other.  So one click off this limit would show a small blue bar on the top of the widget.

This, in effect, is like taking the read from the top visible section of the widget.

Another alternative is to not alter the widget movement.  Instead put some small indicators on either side of the widget in the center to illustrate what value to read from the widget.  That way people using the widget understand a little better what they are seeing.

Sincerely,
Julie S.
