Mousewheel regression

Serengeti (Rhino WIP)
1

In V3-7 we can switch toolbar tabs with the mouse wheel.
No need to hover over the tab, it works just like in Office applications.

In V8 we have to point to the tab itself, then it works.
Not as convenient as in older versions.

In addition, it’s hard to see which tab becomes active then.
Touching the tab highlights it, and the current tab appearance is less dominant.

The hottracking on mouseover is superflous anyway.
It just says the mouse is here, and that is what the mouse pointer naturally expresses.

EDIT:
Is there a way to deactivate the hottracking?

I searched in advanced settings, didn’t find such a setting.
@Gijs (?), do you know?

Yes that’s visually confusing…

I don’t think you can, but you could change this color to match it with the background:
Rhino.UI.ThemeSettings.Frame.Tab.EnabledHover.Background
and
Rhino.UI.ThemeSettings.Frame.Tab.EnabledHover.Text

Hmm, but would be good.
IMO this hottracking stuff is only visual clutter.
Rhino 6 was clean, compare yourself.

Ok, I tried with the colors.
While at that, I had the idea to make an active tab more prominent, and I have set red.

Rhino.UI.ThemeSettings.Frame.Tab.Checked.Background = red

But now I have a red window titlebar and a red menu.
Can’t imagine that it’s intended.

What about the mousewheel cycling issue?

Still the same in (8.4.24016.19001, 2024-01-16)… :disappointed_relieved:

Very good this regression is history now!

They regressed the regression…? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
