I use the default style (Oxygen). I'll play around with it later today
if I get the time.

Strange, I think I tried to change it in the Properties for World. Ah.
Now I know what's wrong: I didn't put "s" after the number.
Also, there's something strange when I change the time: it doesn't
react when I click on the field again. Seems to be a common problem
with all the properties. (To reproduce: click on a property, change it
and press return (or press somewhere else. You don't even have to
change the property). Then try to change it (the same property) again
(by clicking on it)).

I was thinking about displaying the time there. In the future, maybe
the "reset time" button could be there too?
And if that's too little, you could put the zoom controls there too.
Not sure it would make sense in Step, though;

And finally, a feature request. A "vector" object. On the scene, it
appears as a arrow. You can assign a property of an object to the
vector (for example, a particle's velocity) and set it's "origin" if
you want ((0, 0) or maybe follow the particle?). This vector would
change according to the property when you press "Simulate".

I think it would be great when analyzing an experiment. Do you think
something like this would be possible?

No free time for you, is there? ;)

With best regards,
Hans Chen
