Modernflyouts: Enable smooth scroll in Settings app

[Cyberdroid1]

Please enable smooth scrolling in the settings app of Modern-Flyouts. Currently, its jaggy and not smooth. Or you can redesign it to reduce the need for scrolling.

[Cyberdroid1]

I have drawn an example.

[ShankarBUS]

It's a WPF app. UWP apps are much smoother. But this is WPF's default behaviour. I will see what I can do.

[Cyberdroid1]

You can also redesign the settings page to reduce need for scrolling, like the design above given by me.

[ShankarBUS]

But what if the window is resized to be small. If controls are stacked horizontally we will need to show a horizontal scrollbar. Having a horizontal scrollbar will be ugly and people are used to vertical scrolling. So stacking controls vertically is a good option.

And also changing controls orientation with respect to available space is possible. But it's just a single window no one will use the settings once the app's settings has been set.

I can do like what you suggested. That looks nice too.

It's not a primary priority for now.

When the window's width is reduced, the menu bar on the left can be reduced by clicking on the 3-line button.

You can also make it dynamic, change it according to width of window. (as you said)

[Cyberdroid1]

@ShankarBUS Are you planning to redesign the settings page as discussed above?

[ShankarBUS]

@Cyberdroid1,

I think we should go with smooth scrolling instead of changing the layout (may cause unwanted issues).
Also I'm adding some new options to the settings. So I think Vertical Smooth Scrolling will be the best method.

[Cyberdroid1]

New options, i see. Nice.

Ok. Can you rename the Module names to remove the "-flyout" text? It doesnt look that good with this text. And we know what Audio module, brightness module, etc. mean. Just a consideration.

😁 Sorry. They didn't have the -flyout suffix originally but I added them later for convenience of new users

[Cyberdroid1]

Oh, didnt know that. Now I know.

[ShankarBUS]

@Cyberdroid1, Done!

Note : GIF may not be smooth and won't represent the real performance. It will be stuttering and laggy. But I assure you that there is some improvement.

[ShankarBUS]

@Cyberdroid1, Thank you so much my friend. You have opened some feature requests and gave some suggestions for improvements. Feel free to open new feature requests/proposals 😄🙏

[Cyberdroid1]

@ShankarBUS, Is it as smooth as UWP? I dont expect it to be that smooth. Hope to see this version soon.

BTW, I am your country-mate. 😄 Didnt tell you.

TBH even I didn't expect it to be that smooth 😂

I know it. I saw it on your GitHub profile when you opened your first issue. Namaste!👋

[Cyberdroid1]

Namaste! 🙏

BTW, when will v0.5 be out?

[ShankarBUS]

BTW, when will v0.5 be out?

Next week probably 😉

Where are you from?

[Cyberdroid1]

Lets meet on Telegram.

[ShankarBUS]

Implemented in 7d11d27fa1dd8fa91fa0d8e7e05842f95e7a28bb.

And will be available in v0.5.0

hey is there a wpf issue about this?

[ShankarBUS]

hey is there a wpf issue about this?

No I guess. We can't expect new features in WPF anymore. So I had to do a stupid workaround (not original copied from HandyControls lol 😁)

[Poopooracoocoo]

The scrolling is much nicer! :D

It feels slow however and trying to overscroll looks like this:

[ShankarBUS]

The scrolling will be so slow when done with a trackpad/touchpad. But for a mouse wheel it will be much better than the default behaviour. There is a minor issue with this impl, you have to scroll the wheel too fast and too much to move by a relatively small distance.

There are space for improvements on this specific feature. Didn't spend time on this because it must supported by WPF or some UI library out-of-the-box not ourself.

I'm planning to request this feature either on ModernWpf or WPF.

Edit : UWP increases the scroll speed when you scroll again while it is already animating. But ours just stutter in this case. And no inertial scroll yet :(

[Cyberdroid1]

It is actually too smooth now! 😂
Yeah, there is some difficulty in scrolling with touchpad. When scrolling slowly with touchpad, it goes very slow but with speed, it is fine.

[Poopooracoocoo]

hey @ShankarBUS. could you chime in on that WPF issue :)

[ShankarBUS]

What am I supposed to do? 😂
