Code: Select all

      scrollbar. Font size range now from 0 to 128. 

hmm atually, I think I liked it better before. I dont really use it so often, but what was pretty cool (for me) was to be able to change the size very easilly using the mouse wheel
Can't be done with the scroll now, you gotta click & hold down, really not as easy/natural to me...

before actually seing it, I kinda thought you went crazy

I only use font preview rarely, but I will say that having a dropdown was a bit more obvious as to what that option did...the unmarked/untitled scrollbar could leave a new user unaware of what it does...so I'd suggest putting some sort of a heading/title on both it and the text box.

My wheel does it, sorry for you.

The impulse to change it came from the sucking "speed" of the VB ComboBox. I don't know what's happening there but whoever programmed this must have had a very bad day. It takes about 1 ms per item to add (yes, I use the API trick -- otherwise it's even slower) ... this is madness! In 1 ms I could do thousands of things... Sooner or later I'll make my own Combo.

I agree that the combo was more obvious, especially since we add the size shown there. But not sure about adding a label though, esp. for the textbox (pretty obvious it is the text used in the preview IMHO)

It does! Damn, stupid wheel of mine
But why wouldn't it work for me there, works fine to scroll when hovering Catalog, List, Tree, LM or even in Config (Previewed formats). Why not just there??

jacky: I was only suggesting labeling textbox for consistency...yes, it may be pretty obvious, but one never knows with a new user!

Check your mouse settings. I believe to recall I had some inconsistencies with scrolling myself, but since I got rid of the setting "universal scroll" for my middle mouse button (which is the wheel actually) it works.
