Description Andres Betts 2020-11-17 16:14:54 UTC
SUMMARY
The progress bar in the status bar contains no labels. There are no initial indications as to the purpose of this slider. When users drag the slider they will see icon sizes change. The icon size is shown only through a popup message as the user slides across.

I suggest providing more information to the user as to the use of this progress bar. For example, add the current size of icons:

Icon Size ----------- 64px

Or,

64px -------------

Add explanatory label to status bar's icon size slider

Right now the slider has no label. Let's add one so it's clear what it
does.
