SUMMARY
The new interface to change custom times when night and day colors begin feels
a bit weird. I asked a few different friends and family members and here I
summarize some ideas to improve it.
First, the top bar looks super good and it's the first thing the user tries to
use. However, as it is, it only shows information, but it is not interactive.
Why not allow the user to drag the limits there directly to change the custom
times? If this is possible, perhaps it is even okay to remove the time fields
below.
Hour numbers in the bar look also a bit weird, specially the zero. Why not 24
so it's clear? Or 00, 01, 02, etc.? Or use the locale settings and use 24h or
12 am/pm format. The am/pm text can be shown on top of there is no space
together with the numbers
Finally, in the two fields to change the time, the first thing all users try to
do is to delete the numbers, but this is not possible. I think at least, the
delete key should move the position to the left. The user has to use the arrow
or click at the beginning of the number to introduce the time. I think these
fields should be more intuitive and feel more responsive. Probably this is not
a thing to improve here but on Qt or Frameworks.
