It's hard to quote these patches as they are not attached as text :-( And I'd love to be able to actually discuss them

This is certainly a way to do this but I don't think it's THE way to do it. No one is currently really "designing" the mobile app as we are all learning what we are doing. And of course as Devide has long since explained, emails are really a bad way to discuss design work. I realize that many apps have menues and that Android even has this design pattern to some extend, but if I look at apps that I find easy to use then the menu pattern is used for things that you usually don't need. And at least the "Load dives" button in the current implementation is something you need frequently. Of course one could make the argument that once the preferences are set you should simply show the dives when you open the app and then this change would make more sense. Hmm, I think discussing your change and telling you why it's wrong convinced me that maybe it isn't wrong after all :-) > 0002: Change the background to the same blue as in the icon. > 0003: Add the name to the top row of the UI. Nice. We do lose that top row as we show details, but I guess "one step at a time" is the right answer here. > 0004: Style the menu button to fit the theme. Thanks Jocke, this is really cool. I'll talk to Grace about this but I think I might take these changes. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
