Add hole in middle of color slider handle

Open cassidyjames opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Problem

The color slider handle is solid, meaning you can't see the precise color being picked

Proposal

Add a hole, like our old one. It could be an even smaller hole to be more precise, too.

Prior Art

Our old stylesheet (above). Adwaita does a pointed slider, instead.

I think the slider with the "loupe" style handle (as in your first example) works best for sliders like these. I drew these based on the requirements above – hope they're useful reference;

... and for bigger controls ...

I think @almonk is on to something! These are sliders; they should look like something thick enough to grab. I'd also like to point out that sliders are far easier to position when you can see where they are pointing, hence why adwaita uses the arrow style So there may be some advantage in making the inner gap wide enough to have a small arrow at the bottom (literally even the slightest point would help) Edit: ...Or maybe even make a custom widget that magnifies the single colour the louper is pointing at?
