A Tab to control the current Property, with large font, and Preview buttons

Praxis

This is a suggestion for the DAZ Developers:

For me, the font size in the Parameters Pane is too small for comfortable use, and the controls for fine-tuning a value are a bit indirect.  I know that the "font size" issue is being worked on, but in the meantime...
It would be nice to have a "Current Property" editor tab in the TabWidget in the lower section of the Parameters Pane (next to the existing "Tips" tab), with:
  Large-size displays for the main values/controls.
  Controls for:
    Single-Click restore Initial value.
    Single-Click toggle between Initial and Current Values.
    Single-Click restore Default value.
    Single-Click toggle between Default and Current Values.
    Single-Click toggle between 2 User-specified Values.
    Single-Click specification of Nudge Size.
i.e. Instead of trying to provide large font, preview buttons, etc. for each Property, this provides them for just the currently-selected Property.
It doesn't require an upgrade of the entire Studio App to Qt v5, or whatever the issue is that has been mentioned in the various "font size" threads.
Anyone who doesn't want to see it can just hide or minimize the TabWidget, as for the existing "Tips" tab.

Here's a partial screenshot:

1) The new "Property" tab
2) Name of the selected Node, in large font.
3) Name of the selected Property of that Node, in large font.
4) Value of the Property, in large font.
5) Slider to control the Property's Value, with large "Thumb" and "Nudge" elements.
6) Single-Click Preview buttons (as described at the start of this post).
7) Single-Click specification of Nudge Size for the Slider's auto-repeating +/- Nudge buttons.

I've posted a script here that I use to sort-of get equivalent functionality, but I'd much rather have it built-in.  Please?

Looks like some kind of plugin pane class could accomplish this.  Hmm.....will look into it.....
