Results Panel appearance #10

When last I could get the Results Panel to display, the controls were present, but were not aligned, grouped, or sized so a user could readily understand the structure and function of the various options.

Added new layouts and panels to re-organize the Result panel.

The Range Column seems to affect the Heat Threshold slider ... the fact that they're so far away confuses both the understanding of this relationship and the natural workflow of using this panel. It's also unclear that default / size-rank is a style. Can we add some fixed text to clarify that ... and probably to clarify the workflow. This panel exists to seduce a neophyte user, but remains confusing. We need a much kinder touch with our easily confused and frustrated users. The entry field is synced with the slider (good!) but is outsized relative to the slider ... and it's not clear that it connects to the slider. More panel layout is necessary. Also, can slider update entry field and visual selection while slider is moving?? ... requiring a mouse-up is much less obvious and convenient to a floundering user.

I'll do some minor tweaks to the UI again.

Updated to use two groups instead of three.

bdemchak commented 7 years ago

Layout has drifted from the agreed upon format ... both grouping boxes have inappropriate bottom spacing.

keiono commented 7 years ago

@bdemchak This is unclear to me. Just removed space between boxes and fixed the sub-panel sizes. Is this what you mean?

Your picture is good. This is not what I see on Windows ... too much space on the upper group baseline, Too little on the lower group. Placement of groups is fine.

Fixed in v1.2.3.

bdemchak commented 7 years ago

This is not fixed in Windows 10 version ... moving it to a later release.
