Mockup of compact slider. (10.46 KB, image/png)
2006-07-07 10:46 UTC, Roman Frołow 		Details

Description Roman Frołow 2006-07-07 10:44:58 UTC 
I wish GIMP had compact sliders widgets (as an option maybe). It is slider widget without slider, but when you move mouse over name of slider, i.e. Opacity, pinter icon is changing to hand with two arrows. This icon informs that you can click and move move mouse adjusting value. There is also no selectable option to change unit. To increase value with keyboard, click inside input form and use arrows.

Other information:
I will atach mockup.

Yes, that's on the wishlist for quite a while already. Someone just needs to implement it.
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2006-07-07 11:37:31 UTC 
The widget should probably look like a spinbutton but when the mouse is pressed, a slider pops up that allows to conveniently adjust the value. This would result in a nice replacement for a GimpScaleEntry (which is the combination of a GtkHScale and a GtkSpinButton that we are using quite a bit).
Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2006-08-15 16:47:08 UTC 
It would be nice if there was also a widget derived from this compact number entry  that includes a unit. Having the unit in the text entry looks nice and it is a lot more compact than adding a unit combo-box next to it.

This widget could also implement simple math as suggested in bug #76616.

GimpSpinScale in git master is much smaller than what we had before,
closing as FIXED.
