Period Timer inconsistency between mouse and touch #127

Closed phet-steele closed 8 years ago

phet-steele commented 8 years ago

@jonathanolson @arouinfar using a mouse I can click on the little toggle/slider thing to switch between tracing mass 1 and mass 2, but on a touch screen I'm limited to having to touch the little mass images. ...why? I was super confused for awhile why I couldn't switch via touching the toggle until I learned I had to touch the images.

For clarification, I'm talking about this guy: pendtimerthing

For phetsims/tasks/issues/498

Good catch @phet-steele. I think it would be best to have consistent touch and click areas whenever possible.

jonathanolson commented 8 years ago

@arouinfar, it also seems like we should potentially make the 2nd mass look disabled when only 1 mass is shown?

arouinfar commented 8 years ago

@jonathanolson Yes, that would also be a good idea. Let's try reducing the opacity of the 2nd mass and toggle (if possible) to 50% when in 1-pendulum mode.
