Properties input

Inputs are interactive controls used to edit properties throughout PixelOver.

Basic inputs

Most inputs include a text field where you can type values directly.
For numeric fields, you can also enter simple calculations, which will be evaluated automatically (for example: 2+2, 2*2).

  • Hold left-click on the value and drag left or right to adjust it.
  • If the value is bounded on at least one side, a visible slider grabber is displayed.

Reset and animation keys

  • Inputs display a Reset button when the value differs from its default.
