UI slider improvements - arrows

The current slider is great, but sometimes it can be hard to get a specific amount!

I would love it if this proposed dropdown was a feature. Too often have I tried to get a perfect yellow color with 15 color, 100 saturation, and 100 brightness. Sounds easy, but half the time I try to do that, it sneakily changes the number to 14 or 16 or something like that. It would definitely be much easier if I could just use a color palette dropdown to pick the perfect yellow color. I'm someone who wants to really be consistent with my color choices.

The way to fix? Arrows!

When you click the slider, or they could be there from the start, 2 arrows pop up, one at the end of the pallete and the other before the start.

Clicking these will change the colour, saturation, or brightness by 1 so you can get a perfect colour!

The only con I can think of that the colour “box” will have to be a bit bigger to fit in the arrows, which may overlap the stage or costumes. But that is very minor.

Another good idea would be restricting the slider to just integers.

That’s the way it is now. You can’t get decimals

Most people don't know that.

Something like this maybe?

This uses a simple

. This also has the nice side effect of being able to type in it.

That doesn't work in the costume editor.

Nice of you to quote from the topic about A pre-made color pallette.
I don't know if I like this solution or the other one better.

It’s not suppose to be a solution to a colour palette, this is a different feature entirely

Maybe you can click on one of the sliders and then tap the arrow key to adjust its number? Or the numbers could be enlarged and show up as input spaces to the side the the sliders and they would have arrow buttons like on the line thickness value?

I really like this! you can type and use sliders. Maybe some css can be used, but good job!

You can but they are rounded off, so you can get decimals but can't know
