New layout for advanced options #88

Open IAmJulianAcosta opened 10 years ago

IAmJulianAcosta commented 10 years ago

I want to propose this layout for the advanced options. It will improve the usability of the feature, by adding a select ratio item to select if I want to activate the feature or use a fixed ratio. If you don't show me the link, I would never have noticed that I should type "width/height" to use the feature.

Also I should put a "pick color" button. The current behavior causes confusion, because the checkbox is checked when the user opens the tool, so the user must uncheck and check again the checkbox to open the color picker, and is not clear that the feature exists and can be used.

The pick color button will show a color picker tool below of itself, helping to solve #86 and #87

Here is a visual diagram of that I propose:

Also I propose this layout for color selector:

color-picker-layout

Having "Set transparent" and "Save" buttons in the same place can cause confusion in the user.
