  • paletteId should use QSpinBox instead of QSlider. QSlider functions sluggishly and is completely unlabelled, making it difficult to choose a specific palette Id.
    • Code location (I could probably write a patch myself, but I'm unfamiliar with Qt and don't have the necessary programs installed.)
  • Map view width should be an option somewhere. Specifically what I have in mind is the ability to match the tiles to 2D tile mapping mode.
    • Perhaps more sophisticated would be to check bit 6 of DISPCNT for the mapping mode and then adjust the UI accordingly if 2D tile mapping is enabled.
    • And it doesn't even have to make the window default wider; one could just add a scrollbar.
  • For a more advanced experimental feature, a "palette map" might be useful. This would be a way of mapping a specific range of tiles to a specific palette, and then saving it to a file. Then one could view all tiles in the preferred palette without. This is kind of niche, and of limited use though, but it is an interesting idea.
