It would be better really if CL dropped the dial images altogether. Come on, by now we all know what a dial looks like don't we? So why waste all that precious real-estate showing us dozens of pictures of thumbwheels? That space could be used for larger fonts, narrower parameter palette (leading to wider document window), and better contrast - I hear black or blue text on white has been used before in other applications with some degree of acceptance :-) How to adjust without wheels? Adobe After Effects came up with the solution in v5.5 I think (about this time last year). They place the label on the left ending with a colon and the number on the right, down the screen in just the typical format of a standard list - 1 line per parameter. The number by default is in blue on the white background with an underscore (a la a browser link) just so that you know it's adjustable. The font is generously sized. You can click on it and edit or overtype the number OR you slide the mouse cursor over the number right or left: right increases the value, left movement decreases it. In other words it works just like Poser's parameter wheels in P3/P4/P5 in every way but... without the silly pictures wasting space, just a label and the value. It is SO much easier to find and read a value that there really is no comparison. I haven't tested it, but I'd guess a 30-40% percent REDUCTION in parameter PANEL size vertically and horizontally, while at the same time DOUBLING the parameter NUMERIC VALUE font size and increasing the LABEL font size by 50% might easily be attained.
