I've been hoping for 20-ish years to find time to make a *unified* slider/numbox/knob/radio object. It probably would be hard to make such a thing perfectly compatible with all the screwy features the classical GUIs offer (like numbers with the text sticking outside the box, ugh), but, long-term, such a combined object could be the default "gui" menu offerings and we could just leave all the crufty IEM GUI code as is for back compatibility.
ALSO we need a cleaner VU meter - that would be a different object and should be resizable to much smaller than the current minimum size. That too could have a spanking new, clean implementation.
Anyway, I've been holding off on introducing yet one more ad-hoc GUI device until I (or someone :) can make a properly unified GUI for numerical controls.

Even better. Then it has been in testing for a *long* time now. ;)

I think Antoine's knob implementation is actually based on mknob, but with lots of refinements.

I agree.
There is also the mknob from moonlib which I have actually replicated for PdParty. I think both of these knob implementations fit nicely with the other IEM guis.

I strongly endorse both PRs :)
Fractional zoom levels would be a game changer! The current integer zoom levels are pretty much useless in practice because typical scaling factors are more like 125% or 150%.
A knob is such a basic UI element for audio applications. I really think this should be part of Pd vanilla and not require some external. It isn't (only) about aesthetics; knobs have clear advantages over sliders in many situations as they allow to map the same range into a much smaller space. Just think about a simple mixer strip!
