The Selected style indicator is extremaly useful. Any chance to have it act as a slider to set opacity? And ctrl/shift drag could affect contour width.
Slider for opacity would take too much space, while spinbox would be twice as small and even show amount of opacity in figures.
It could look exactly like it looks now: the rectangle with 'the slider' invisible, but there may be no such a gtk widget? I find slider more comfortable than spinbox, but that may be just my own preference.
If the slider is not acceptable, you still sound like controlling opacity/stroke width via spinbox on the status bar is worth of consideration? Those are often used menu operations, so it would be handy to have them fast/easily accessible.
BTW, just curious: what makes ctrl+shift+f load relatively slow?
Displaying width of a stroke in a slider isn't a good idea, I'm afraid. See, a slider is used for variables that have a known minimum and maximum values. While minimum here would be 0, what would be maximum? ;-)
Hmmm, that's a fact ;)
