| Summary | 0010010: Bottom Dock - Effect label tab updates | ||||
| Description | The new bottom dock shows things like effects, region info, etc. When these are shown each item gets a "tab" at the top of them with the name of that item. The suggestions below will all be based on these tab/names. -Currently these tabs are not aligned with the left edge of each item, they are shifted a little to the right. I imagine this was done so that the tab names are not aligned with the parameter names below. Even if this is true, to me the location of these tabs are a little visually confusing. I would consider having the left edge of the tab label aligned with the left vertical edge of each item. This way the label begins at the beginning of each item, making each one stand out more clearly where they begin (hopefully this makes sense). -To me these tabs/names look a little cramped. I imagine the reason behind this is to not take up too much more screen height but I would probably consider increasing the height and width of these tabs a little and then center the name text within these tabs, so they do not look so condensed. Increasing width of tabs should not be an issue, but if height is a concern maybe can lower the horizontal line/edge at the top of each module, which would give the tab more height. -Do not know if this will make items stand out too much but another thought. Still increasing the height as mentioned above, I wonder if it would look good replacing the tabs with darker gray rectangle headers for each item that go the entire width of each module. Name label text would still remain left justified in each of the module headers to help define where they begin. This could help define each module. Also could allow more of the blank space height between the current tab/item names and the parameter text to be used for these headers because they will be defined with darker gray color. Just some ideas to make things stand out a little more because ultimately this bottom dock might contain many items/effects with many parameters so might blend together visually. Thank you to anyone who reads this | ||||
