Description:
Allow using faders with a square form factor in horizontal orientation, especially when the widget's width and height are equal.
Problem:
Currently, faders placed in a perfect square container always behave vertically. This limits design flexibility, particularly when trying to create compact and symmetrical layouts where horizontal operation would be preferred.
Proposed Solution:
– Enable the option to define orientation (horizontal or vertical) independently of aspect ratio
– Alternatively, automatically set fader direction based on drag direction or allow defining direction explicitly in settings
– Allow locking direction to prevent accidental axis changes
Benefits:
– More intuitive and flexible interface design
– Better compatibility with square UI layouts
– Enables new creative control surface designs
– Aligns with user expectations from other DAWs or controller apps
