Visual Improvement to GUI

Post by daveb0360 »

Hi Guys,
I love Flowcode though I am a newbie and having (needing) loads of help from the forum.
I have a suggestion though.
When going through the flowcode workspace, to see any annotations to elements fully, you have to double click on each one to inspect it in full, particularly if any text or arguments, calculations etc. are lengthy.

Could the GUI have a feature where floating the mouse over an element would open a sort of 'tool tip' floating window or 'zoom' feature so the contents of the elements could be inspected 'on the fly'.

I think this would be a huge benefit to me and I can't believe I'm on my own.

Dave

Hello. There should already be a tooltip for elements in v4.

In v5 annotations are resizable and movable, and shift-double clicking the annotation sizes it to its maximum to see all the code.

Cheers,

Hi Dave,
This page maybe useful as it shows you how to have all the text permanently displayed outside each icon:
