It is better now, much better! Actually it may be even a bit weak at high forces, particularly for path tweaking ;)
OK, increased it a bit again, try 16005
Some other points though: Does the fidelity value have a role for the color changing mode? I don't see any. Maybe it could be grayed out then.
Yes. Or, like I said, just separate path and color tweaking into different tools. I would do that except that I want Jon to make the vertical toolbar clippable first, otherwise it's already too tall.
For this tool I think that the brush radius as well as the forces and fidelity parameters convey more of a qualitative feel (brush big/ small, force high/low/medium, fidelity high/low etc.) and the actual values don't really matter. So maybe the spin buttons could be turned into sliders, since there is enough space on the toolbar currently. If you want to keep the quantitative information sliders similar to those used in for the snapping distance in the preferences could be used. But I really think that a simple slider, maybe with "clicks" every 10 steps or so would be sufficient and more appropriate (and it is an user of Inkscape for precision drawings who speaks!). In fact that would probably be true for many other spin buttons in other tools, in the calligraphy tool in particular, but their toolbar's are already quite full and a spin button is the most space effective widget.
Agreed, but this needs some support from Jon too. Jon, can you implement a way to optionally represent the spinbutton toolbar control as a slider?
