If there was a line drawn from the center of the knob to the mouse pointer, maybe sporting arrows in the directions to move the mouse would make two things obvious for me: - - to move the mouse radially - - that there's different scaling available The display of that "helper line" could be configurable and even defaulted not to be used. Absolute values could also be displayed next to the mouse pointer. The scaling issue may be obvious for most people, but it wasn't for me until this thread.
