I quite like 3 (you missed off one slider). I always use it landscape as my screen is wider and if I stretch it full width I get a great granularity.
However in 3 you still use up UI because the bars are not hiding but collapsing the sliders. Plus it doesn't take long to know just by looking that a set of sliders are RGB or HSV From a UI design IMHO by adding a divider between the colour wheel and the sliders you are breaking the connection between the colour wheel and the sliders. Though subtle isn't an improvement to me. Howard On 11 Apr 2013, at 04:56, Martin Constabe <[email protected]> wrote: > Whoops.
