These widgets are *very* nicely usable. To be honest, I think opensource lacks a little in the widget-department. For example, there are STILL input fields for INTs from 0 to 100 that have up-and-down-arrows. How useless is that?

It would make sense if one could hold the field and then move the mouose to adjust the value, but who actually taps these two buttons?

Honestly, there's a lot of stuff, especially annoying in krita, karbon14 etc.

I know this sounds harsh, and we all know that I won't commit any coolSliderThingy.{h,cpp} to svn myself, but please, try these widgets first! You'll see, training is not needed!

The Adobe widget looks like a subclassed QLabel with the mouseMove/mousePress/mouseRelease events overriden. It shouldn't be too hard to override. The difficult part would be to get the context menu working right IMHO.
