Bug Description
Original feature request and discussion: https:/
Has it been considered to make the display of numerical information in the bottom toolbar interactive? For instance, I feel it would be a lot more intuitive and comfortable if the time/date dialog was integrated with the time/date display in the toolbar, i.e. if you could change the time/date right where it is displayed. As for the other displayed values, it might make sense if
* clicking the location display in the toolbar opened the location dialog;
* clicking the FoV value display in the toolbar allowed to set a specific FoV value;
* clicking the FPS value display in the toolbar allowed to set max and min FPS.
Location&Time: Maybe.
I would like to have the time panel always in bottom-right, not screen centered. It could also be smaller then. maybe similar to the Ocular plugin panel? Or also a permanently available slide-out? Maybe combine this slide-out with the speed buttons? And add buttons for solar/sidereal day forward/backward, or "next day at same solar/lunar/ selected- object altitude". Or maybe an advanced time control panel (maybe also with display of, or even moving inside, a few other calendars?) can be added as plugin. Any volunteers?
FoV: information. zoom in/out directly is even easier than opening another dialog.
FpS: Information. How often do you really want to change this setting, on an average evening? I guess >85% (or rather >97%?) of users have never touched this. And how often would you misclick here if this becomes alive? This makes more trouble than it solves, IMHO.
