Making Sections Resizable: A User-Friendly Approach
Currently, the sizes of the image preview, main background, properties pane, and information pane are fixed. To enhance user experience, we can implement a resizable interface inspired by VS Code.
Intuitive Resizing:
-Hover and Identify: Users can simply hover their mouse over the split between the sections they want to resize.
-Visual Feedback: As the user hovers, the cursor will transform into a double-headed arrow, providing a clear indication that resizing is possible.
-Effortless Adjustment: By clicking and holding the mouse button, users can then drag the splitter left, right, up, or down to adjust the size of the desired section. This intuitive approach mirrors the functionality found in VS Code.
Benefits:
-Increased Flexibility: Users can personalize their workspace layout based on their preferences and task requirements.
-Improved Efficiency: By customizing section sizes, users can optimize their workflow and focus on specific areas of interest.
-Enhanced User Experience: The familiar resizing behavior borrowed from VS Code promotes a smooth learning curve and intuitive interaction.
Next Steps:
We can explore incorporating visual cues, such as subtle highlights on the splitters, to further enhance user guidance during the resizing process.
User testing can be conducted to validate the effectiveness of this resizing feature and gather valuable feedback for further refinement.
