Feedback - Size Controls

Beta
#1

Outstanding update as always!

Not a bug, a workflow challenge which may have been raised in previous beta.

The controls for sizing, margin, padding, etc. which have both a slide toggle and input field.

Is it possible to either drop the slide toggle or have a global setting to hide (display: none, visibility: hidden etc.) on the slide toggle from all controls for pro users?

Happy to be corrected by community :grinning:, I do not believe pro users use the slide toggle given the keyboard centric ways of working with VS Code, etc.

The slide toggle is a hindrance to workflow as it takes up more than half of the control width, and as a input field includes the measurement unit this further reduces the visible space. When using calc, which is more and more common usecase this becomes a real challenge. I find myself forever copy/pasting the content in and out of the input to see what the field contains.

I’m all for providing multiple ways for a user to do things. I feel this is normally done when things are are in different locations; i.e. many routes to the same end. In this case however, the slide toggle and input field are right next to each other.

+1 from whom always using calc

I think my screenshot from another thread could confuse people here, as it has photoshopped simulation of tabs I was proposing, that don’t exist in reality. :slight_smile:

Hi @strobley,

This is definitely on our radar. Take a look at my update on the other thread: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/excessive-scrolling-in-the-inspector/61690

Correct @Misho , apologies its not the actual controllers, you made a good mock up it was eastier to copy/paste! :smile:
