Description Daniel Rolls 2005-01-09 21:15:31 UTC

Version:           3.3.1 (using KDE 3.3.1,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-3)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-1-k7

Currently to increase or decrease the font size in a web page involves repeatedly clicking on the relevant button. Why not have a single "Adjust Font Size" button instead that causes a slider to pop up below the button (like the Kmix icon in the task tray).

Why do this?
1. Quicker and easier to adjust the font size.
2. One less button on the toolbar without taking any features off the toolbar.
3. For those of us that use small fonts the increase/decrease font size icons are hard to distinguise and their role is not obvious. Sometimes I get confused between the find and font size buttons. This feature might the job easier for the icon artists.
4. If done well this feature would be useful in other applications too.

Totally agree. And I hope this is going into 3.4. The state of toolbars in KDE is just terrible. Way too many pointless options. Toolbars are for the most used options only!

THIS AT LEAST SAVES SOME SPACE!

I've just discovered that Umbrello has a zoom button with a slider popup. Maybe some of the code could come from there?

Please don't. This would require more than one click to achieve the desired action which would be very annoying.
