and i'll chime in with mine, which ardour "stole" from sonar: the
recent "barcontroller" widget, which is somewhat like a fader,
although it displays its numerical value. if you do the correct click
on it, or click in a certain area or type "e" into it, it converts to
a conventional in-place GTK spin button. once editing is done with the
spin button (focus changes out of it), it reverts to the bar control.

This is exactly the point I was trying to get
across. Do something
different. I've been toying lately with the idea of zoomable sliders
when you have too little real estate or pop up sliders that are larger
than their normal graphic representation when you enter their focus
area. The Soundplay approach also seems like a good way to do it. But,
when you're speaking of BeOS, wouldn't that be "took" a novel approach
Heh. I have to speak up for my favourite implementation, the one in the
Nord Modular control app. When a knob has focus a little spinbutton
appears obove it (up/down arrows and a text entry widget) and the right/up
v's radial control is ocnfigurable.
