Does the text color change on hover?

rajitha-manamperi commented 7 years ago

It seems we have to put all details within font box for better ux experience... I need little more time to finalize this. But for now changes are

preview option toggle
apply to all
font name (this stays visible)
add button sits next to name , not right aligned
ABC will change to a phrase (take more space)
font style
size (may be a slider or something) all options except name appears only on hover, name stay visible all the time. this is where it is now..

Having multiple words is a better option from my side, :-) because of the font spacing I have to push more effort to get them in one line. :-D font_box_view

@DenzelRajitha Cannot put a slider in a bottom corner of a font box. Once we resize the text size, slider goes away from the mouse pointer. And it becomes a mess. slider

I strongly feel that we should try the rubberband slider thingy from metapolator! :)

I like it too. But for now, I'm suggesting to halt it, until other things get cool thus it doesn't work like "copy, paste" as I saw it. Or else I would like to have help from any, buddy fellow to work on that thing. :-)

About this design, when you change size or preview, buttons and options go down. Isn't it bothering a bit, coz the user have to move the mouse to the bottom again to change the size or preview option?

fntmn-fontbox -font name moves up little on hover giving space to style,etc menu -preview text expands downwards (install,etc move down)
