(Scripting)Creating Brush Size Slider?

coreyart · Post by **coreyart** » Sat Jan 11, 2014 10:37 pm

I like to leave the brush preset window open because I can select my brush and resize my brush all very quickly. The problem is I only use a few brushes and the brush preset window has all this extra empty space I wish I could get rid of at the bottom.Normally you would scale the window down but Photoshop wont let you scale down the window but to a certain extent and its wasting space. Ive grown so tired of this I decided its time to see if I could learn to script and fix this problem so my question is...

1.) Is it possible to script or hack photoshop UI to scale windows down to any size?

or if thats not possible

2.) Is it possible to recreate the brush slider in a standalone window?

(Here's an image to help clarify my point)

Is ctrl-alt pressing and moving left and right not good enough for resizing the brush?
Or ctrl-clicking to raise a size dialog?

Thanks for your reply but thats why Im making this thread because i prefer using the slider, its just a lot faster for me.
But since there are no replies Im assuming its impossible to script a brush slider?

If thats the case then is it possible to shrink the Brush Preset window "DOWN" through scipting? It doesnt seem like it would be that hard for such a small thing thats why im here.
I hope its possible because I would also like to shrink the Brush Properties window down too because its too big to dock on the side for me without sacrificing work space. Please let me know someone.

Brush ctrl-clicking on the canvas one does get a slider, does one not?

So no one has any idea on how to do script UI.
My goal is to scale down UI like Brush properties and Brush Preset

Firstly so far only I have replied to your thread so conclusions about what others know or don’t know do not seem justified.
Secondly I consider a Scripting solution for something that pretty much seems to be part of the default Photoshop behaviour a bit redundant.

If you want to look into ScriptUI please consult »JavaScript Tools Guide CS6.pdf« for example.
If you want to create a proper Panel you may have to look into Flash Builder or whatever the currently valid tool for the task is.
