Need help testing new Transform and Presentation features

I’ve just updated Leo with two very important features.

 

First, we now have a transform tool to let you move, rotate, and scale any object. Currently it only works with Paths but I will add support for other shapes soon.  I really need feedback on the interface for the transform tool.  Currently you select a path, press Command-T, and it will put a circle with some lines and handles on top of the shape to be transformed. Drag the handles around then click somewhere else to make the change permanent.  Let me know what you think about how it works and what it should look like.

 

The other big feature is themes for the presentation mode.  Now you can create simple slide decks and switch between 4 prefab themes. Then you can export to an HTML file which contains your entire presentation styled properly, including the custom fonts.  Please test this and tell me the bugs you find.  Suggestions for good themes and fonts would be greatly appreciated as well. Is there a particular javascript presentation lib that you like to use?

 

Thanks guys!

 

As always, please send feedback to the list or to me on twitter.
