Since I am rewriting this widget, I can adjust it to what people want:
- Do you want the progress bar?
Yes
- If so, should it be the full height of the widget (quite a bit more
complicated)?
Yes, it helps visually and also while sliding the bar. I think the height is bigger due to dual sliers.
- Do you want to be able to drag the bar? With one/two methods?
Yes
This method is new and is really nice. It may not be something that users are used to but once you know what it is it is really helpful. The current problem is that the two sliders are not that differentiated and users who don't know about it get confused. The gimp guys have recently (in git version of gimp) put a hover effect on top and bottom part of the slider. So when you hover ab ove the top part the entire top part turns darker along with the arrow switch and vice versa. I think we can have the hover effect thus making clear the differentiation between top and bottom part.
- Any other changes?
The current text input is clunky to use . It can be simplified if we make it activate on right click on the bars. Krita has this type of sliders.
In blender it is single slick for text edit and press and hold for sliding. I would personally prefer right click to activate text input like krita.
Thank you
