UX - zoom controls can be improved.
Hi Rui,
I think the zoom controls could be improved in their appearance. It's hard to distinguish them, specially when they are grouped so near to each other.
I noticed that you are using .png files for icons. With QT 6, I think you could easily use SVG, which would give you much more responsiveness and better looking icons.
how could a svg make it any better when rendered to a 16x16 pixmap? mind you, the original icon is indeed a svg alright, just that it's distributed on source tree as a png. cheers
Maybe play with colours or the icons should have less stroke, so you have more room to see the "-" and "+" signs? Anyway, just some ideas here.
Yeah..on my laptop they are quite hard to see too. Any updates on this issue?

if you can hardly see them, use ctrl+mouse-wheel instead ;)
ps. i know this is going like forever, yes, the zoom-icons have been there from day-zero, when the largest screen resolution you had was, yes again, HDready (720p); even FHD was still far away then, let alone UHD (and beyond;)...
not a remedy whatsoever, there are (always been) some other means to zoom in and out--take the menus (View > Zoom) for instance...
ps. but I still believe that the mouse-wheel is the best way overall \o/
Sure. I understand, and I appreciate that there are more than one way of doing this. I just agreed with OP that the icons could look better. Anyway, thanks for making Qtractor.
