[Klonan] [2.0.34] Combinator UI resize self and hide scroll bar

Post by gGeorg »

1. Input section could resize self to one line even when RED and GREEN signals are present.
FIX : in case both colors signals are incoming keep two lines always. If number if signals overflow UI spacee, apply horizontal scrollbar.
2. Input section has no scroll bar to see all signals.
FIX : make sure it has
3. Consider auto-resize the window to show more lines. See the short scroll bar of condition area, in fallowing example, it means lots of scrolling up and down. Not very comfortable UI design.
4. Consider auto-resize section Description area which takes a lot of space to show ... lots of gray. Not very efficient usage of precious space.
5. Consider some efficient picture of a combinator, current takes massive space to show tiny combinator in the middle.
6. Consider added control element which shrink picture of combinator to zero vertical pixels, to make more space for showing actual signals. As far as I understand this UI screen should be for showing signals. Or is it ?

when you add more conditions, scroll bar dissapear for good.
Whole UI design is unfortunate.
Wube has a company policy that :
- all windows are fixed size
- one information per line : which means there are three full lines on windows top to show three information
- all windows use same design

After applying all the rules, you find out that there is no space for wanted information. Majortiy of window is covered by gray colour and static picture which duplicates the same picture as you see on the status in screen right edge info bar.
I think this design is a bug as whole.

Hi, Klonan.
"Input signals" and "Output signals" blocks not being the same height triggers my OCD.
