I'd like to make a case for introducing 'Fixed' options for all components affected by the global parameter 'Size, pixels'. Currently, I'm working on a filter where this would be a marvelous feature to have.

Being able to scale the whole filter via 'Size, pixels' control is certainly very convenient, but sometimes I wish I could the effect on/off on a per-component basis.

Check the image below. while everything looks nice, we want to see more of the mazes...

So we use the 'Size, pixels' slider and set it to 100. The result: The parchment look is now unsatisfactory, especially around the edges! Being able to toggle all components that contribute to the parchment to be unaffected by Size would be nice indeed, because I could then 'nail down' its look to be exactly like in the first example image.

Who claimed you were crazy? This size thing has always bugged me, but now I realize that we need it for ALL components that are effected by size, not only gradients.

This shouldn't be too hard to implement... it's already working for the frame component after all. Add in some 'proportional' options where necessary and we're set! smile:)
