Probably been said many a time before, but I'd like more control over the display of the timeline.
At the moment the overlaid information is too messy. The text to the left or right of a task has a huge gap and is therefore easily confused with the task before or after it. The text inside a task is most useful, but would be good if it could be more than one element. The text inside a group bridge bar is so thin it's unreadable.
As a user, I really wanted the chart to be zoomable/stretchable vertically as well as horizontally to control the thickness of the task bars so I could read text in it and make the charts much more "immediate" to my dreary head. This would presumably be some kind of zoom function, which currently desperately needs to be much more user friendly than as implemented. This simply means much more standard. Ideally rip off Final Cut Pro's stretchy zoom tool, or in the least the Photoshop method with hot keys.
So really 2 things:
- Better control of the location of the overlaid information
- Control the size of the task bars via some sort of zoom stretching in horizontal and vertical
