This 1st design appeals to me the most. Simple, clean, not too overwhelming. Will there be a mark or label where the default "10" value would be, so that once you move it, you know what the original default was? Am I right in assuming that just the font size is being adjusted (the other designs suggest that the font may also change).

For the "restart button", other control panels reveal an alert if you try to exit with a changed value (and show a small warning triangle and message at the bottom of the canvas once you change from the current value).
