[Added] New handle style "Round dots in system accent color" + Renamed other handle styles more descriptively

Post by porg »

Preferences > General > Selection > Appearance

Display no handles | Display normal handles | Display large handles

What's normal? Normal in size? Normal in shape?

I recommend these more descriptive names:
• Display no handles
• Display small squared handles
• Display large squared handles

And as we are at it, could you add an additional contemporary handle look like the one Preview.app has:
• Display round dots in system accent color

And please don't get me wrong.
- The classical black&white squared ones are good, as they are content neutral.
- The more modern handle look would just be an additional look, maybe sexy for some of your advertising screenshots.

Tested in build 5517:
• Has issue Selection significantly slower (ca 3 FPS) but that resolved itself after the next GC restart. Hope it doesn't happen again.
• Options are renamed properly.
• New option "Display round dots in system accent color" works as expected:
• Dot shape
• Indeed colored in system accent color
• Color updates on the fly! While System Preferences in foreground, Graphic Converter in background. Not on next selection, not on next app start. No! Immediately! Nice!
