Hi all,
First, let me thank all of those who have given feedback! I've got an updated demo taking into account as much of the feedback as possible. A few of the changes:
* Shift replaces Alt to trigger slow-mo mode. * Slow-mo updating glitches fixed. * Order of drawing bar/text changed to give cleaner text. * Improved (and more realisitic styling). * Added a pure Gtk::SpinButton widget for reference (at bottom). * Fixed build instructions.
Some work that still needs to be done:
* Custom styling. I've tried two approaches and can't get either to work (and believe me, I've tried):
* Add custom color styling to a widget (I can add an integer property but nothing else).
* Access the styling of the child widgets in the SpinButton, especially the progress bar widget. I could then use those values for styling the custom progress bar.
* A few modifications are needed to handle right-to-left layout.
From my own experience and from feedback, I am inclined to replace the
Gimp Spin Scale widget with the top-most option. This has a reasonable performance and relatively simple code (20% of the number of lines compared to gimpspinscale.c). The second from bottom is also quite nice (slow-mo mode is triggered by holding the mouse down without moving for a second; it has 10% of the number of lines compared to gimpspinscale.c).
