Balance slider not instantaneous
Last modified: 2009-02-18 09:32:15 UTC
Just like bug 564313 is about the volume, I think it would be a better experience if the balance slider changes were instantaneous.
Right. This is actually very bad IMHO: I had the sound turned to about 20%, went to the volume control and played with the slider, all the time keeping it pressed, so it did not actually change the volume. I concluded that the control was broken... and ended the click while pointing to 100%... Let's just say I could be dead right now if I had a faint heart ;)

Created attachment 128394 [details] [review] gvc-instant-balance.patch Patch for the above. Doesn't behave great though. The slider seems to lag a bit, which makes it hard to use the resistance in the slider to get back to the middle value.
We'll see how people like it. 2009-02-18 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * src/gvc-balance-bar.c (_scale_box_new), (on_scale_button_press_event), (on_scale_button_release_event), (on_scale_scroll_event): Make the balance bar instant-apply (Closes: #566423)
