The new preview enhancements are really helpful. I especially like the experimental feature allowing users to resize the widget vertically. Please make this a permanent function. Thanks, Rob!

Great work, Rob! Thanks for these improvements — like Em42, looking at some of my older work with the new preview makes me realize that I have to get in there and set the space width!

Great work Rob. My latest was looking rather anemic and unsettled in the preview but now it really gets a chance to spread its wings and fly. Suggestion: The new preview controls make it super easy to create basic samples. Could the comment section be reconfigured to accept an image upload that’s the same (approx.) width as a screen capture from the preview window?

I just realized that new widget forced me to update and improve some older sets (that really looked ugly in Sample Text or User Input mode) with spacing control.

That’s great!

@geneus1 Glad you like it. I hope you get use to the vertical scrolling. Although I can see DeTrayne rolled better the old way ;-)

Really nice improvement, Rob. Much faster preview with the vertical scrolling. Although I kinda wish that the new preview had been augmented to the previous one, instead of supplanting it. I miss the horizontal scrolling already. I really like the bigger previews on the homepages too. Thanks!

@Magic Sam. As Loman says, you may need to clear your browsers cache if you can’t see the new features.

I figured it out, if you can’t see the new features, try clearing your browser’s cache, it worked for me :D

I really like the new preview window, it looks great with large fonts. I don’t see the pxl button, sliders, or view menu, either, although they sound like they will be nice, too :)
