Playing for an hour or two making a thermostatically inspired dial as everyone seems to make dials on Dribbble... even though they are the most unusable UI element of them all ;)
This is nice, I like the glow and subtle gloss :) but you're right, dials are definitely the most unusable UI element of all time, I never understood why people design them.
@Prekesh Chavda Thanks Prekesh, hope you're well :) I think people design them as they offer a lot of scope for creative experimentation, also because they are more often than not large (as in pixels) they command more'wow' factor, but I'm glad to hear you agree with my overall opinion :)
I've been considering creating more ironically 'over-the-top' dials/knobs to see how far they can be pushed (just for fun and as a bit of an experiment you understand). Perhaps you fancy joining in?
