Thanks! You are making progress, which is good :-)
However, there is a lot of things that don't work right now. Here's
my list of things that I encountered while playing with the new
features.
* The biggest problem is that glyphs in the `ftview' mode aren't
displayed with correct vertical positions. This is serious bug and
must be fixed ASAP – I think I reported this already six weeks
ago...
* I don't like that there are tabs called `Ftview' or `Ftdiff'; a new
user has no idea what this is for. Instead, if you select one of
the `modes' with the radio buttons, the tabs on the left side should
change according to the mode (having functional names that helps the
user in navigation), and/or features that don't fit should be greyed
out.
Another issue is that selecting stuff from the tab suddenly changes
the mode; for example, if I select `Grid View', then `Ftview->Render
Mode->Stroked', the display no longer is in grid mode (but the radio
button still shows it). This must not happen. As mentioned above,
options that do not fit a mode must be disabled (or not displayed).
* If a dark desktop theme gets used, the background of the main window
becomes dark, too. This is quite bad, since the various gray shades
are no longer displayed correctly. Please ensure that always a
white background gets used.
* `Segment Drawing' doesn't work correctly. Segment lines appear for
half a second, then they disappear again. Additionally, it seems
that if both horizontal and vertical auto-hinting is selected, even
the short appearance can't be triggered.
By the way, the segment lines are too thick now. If the grid line
has a thickness of 1px, I suggest that segment lines are 2px thick
(i.e., ½px + 1px + ½px).
* The `All Glyphs' mode is mostly dysfunctional. For example, the
display doesn't get updated if I select auto-hinting. Similarly,
pressing the `+10' button (and friends) only adjusts a single, red
outlined glyph that is always positioned in the center – what is
this good for?
* Another issue with the `All Glyphs' mode: If I select a large size
(say, 100px), I can't move the image around with my mouse. Ditto
for `Comparator' mode.
* If I select a large size in `All Glyphs' mode, then select `Grid
View' the size gets respected. However, selecting `All Glyphs' mode
again, the size jumps back to a default size of 20px.
* All modes except `Grid View' mode lag a lot if I change parameters,
or if I move the panel with the mouse – this indicates a problem
with the implementation. Please fix that. It must work as swift as
the `Grid View' mode.
* Please display number values on the Gamma scale (i.e., using a
different widget for the scale).
* The Gamma scale behaves strangely: selecting values at the very
left, the image be brighter again! This can't be correct.
* Gamma values should work in all modes, not only `Grid View'.
