Easier UI for changing Fontsize
The font-size-dropdown really bugs me.
I want to change the fontsize of an inputfield from the default 13pt to 32pt.
- I have to move the mouse over the floating UI to see the 13pt.
- Only after that I can properly focus the fontsize-dropdown
- I have to click it
- Click the arrow down for about 3 times
- Then finally I can choose 32.
That clearly can be optimized from a GOMS point of view (http://humanized.com/weblog/2006/05/1... > GOMS).
First and easy idea: Add to button next to the font-element like MS Word has them on windows: A "+" and a "-" (acutally the icons are an "A" with a arrow up an down).
If you clickt the button the next font-size from the dropdown is choosen.
Note that this is different from a numeric steper, since a stepper should step in 1pt steps. The A-Icon uses the default pt steps...

Inappropriate?Hello Tobias, good point. I'll make the droppdown longer. Also, try using CTRL++ and CTRL+- to increase/decrease the font size!
