That's a nice interface! Really nice!

That's something I seem to fight with a lot - it seems not very easy to 
get the current slider dialogs to switch to numeric input, and then 
accept the numeric input without somehow switching to a number I wasn't 
actually trying to type. Maybe there's a trick, but if there is I 
haven't figured it out.

No, but as I explained in my last-posted email, regarding the sliders I 
was talking about the padding around the words in any given slider 
(total slider height) rather than about the padding between the sliders. 
But I used "not very clear" terminology. Sigh.
