Sketchup Fog Slider in Microsoft Windows 10

Is it just me or is anyone else not liking the sliders for the Fog tool in Sketchup for Windows? First off, and this is not too big a deal, but I’m coming from MacOS where there are two separate sliders that control the distance and density aspects of the fog whereas in Windows, there’s just the single slide with the two separate grab nodes. Where it really becomes annoying is trying to click+hold the grab nodes - they’re extremely tiny to get a hold of; and then when you finally grab hold of the nodes, trying to control the values of the fog granularly, that becomes a problem to as the slider only has so much ‘length of slide’ vs that available on the Mac version. I looked to see if there were any 3rd party extensions that had a better interface but Eneroth’s is compat. up to 2019 and I’m not going to install it on my 2020 SU install. Anyone know if there’s a numerical interface where values of the fog properties can be entered with numbers instead of manually “slid” across the scale?

Thanks in advance for comments and / or solutions!

Once you click one of the “grab nodes” you can use the arrow keys to move more precisely.

The same thing applies to the sliders for Soften Edges and Materials Edit>Opacity.

Fog controls on Mac as well, have always been poor.

I personally was always wondering where the fog sliders even are.
Never could find them.

But (based off the shadow sliders) I can agree.
