Change size of BubbleComponent for Slider

[TheWaveWarden]

When activating Slider::setPopupDisplayEnabled(), a hovering value display appears when the Slider is being used. I’ve successfully styled and positioned it with a custom LookAndFeel_V4. However the problem remains, that I need to resize the bubble, as well as change the font and color.

I tried overriding the behaviour, but most of what is needed sits in juce::SliderPimpl as opposed to the slider itself, which I cannot override.

Hopefully I’m just missing a very basic point here?

Upon further research, I came across this feature request:

FR: make the bubble component used for the Slider::popup display customizable

Right now we can only override its “paint” function but we have almost no control over its size or layout. A simple Rectangle<int> getSliderPopupLayout (Slider&) callback in the LAF would be enough. It could return a “Rectangle” relative to its Slider. We would like to make the popup display a minimum width to make it visually more stable in case of drastic value changes. Right now the popup changes it’s width dramatically and that simply looks ugly.

So I guess I’m on my own.

+1 Having more personalisation options on the Slider’s BubbleComponent would be amazing! Currently the best option to me seems to create a custom Component from scratch that behaves like JUCE’s BubbleComponent (not too challenging but still).
