How to make scrollbars huge? #21

Closed ViktorNova closed 9 years ago

ViktorNova commented 9 years ago

One of the things I love the most about Bespin was being able to make the scrollbars ridiculously oversized, which makes using QT4 on a touchscreen very doable. Is there any way to accomplish this for Virtuality, even if it's not in the gui yet?

luebking commented 9 years ago

No, there isn't - it's atm. hardcoded to (dpi aware) 11px

Before I add a key and because of your usecase: have you seen the "hack" to "Allow panning of some viewports"? It's what I use on a touch device (see the info for the item, tl;dr: if you want to perform a "normal" dragging, you got to tap once first, then you can start a selection within the next 333ms.

I'll also promote https://github.com/luebking/piQtureGLide - though it works much better w/ Qt5 (multitouch)

Thank you for your reply - I did not know about that. Is this a hack of yours, or that feature just part of QT4/5? I'm assuming it is something in the code level and not a feature provided by the QT theme, correct?

Resizable scrollbars would be really great, although I should be able to just adjust it in the code and build my own for the time being. Thanks!

"Hack" The mouse movements are intercepted and translated into an adjustment of the current value of the scrollarea.

It works great, thanks a bunch! I now know what you're talking about, it's in the Hacks section in virtuality, I somehow didn't notice it before.. the touch scrolling works very well =D I had no idea this was possible, so thank you again for sharing

I love it!
