Yes… that's my plan… all I have to do is shrink the rows by 15 pixels
vertically and the 4th one will pull up at the bottom of the screen. A bit
tedious, but can do this with some toolbox scripts… so , not too hard.
Actually now that I have 24 objects = 3 each for 8 rows (each one has a bkgrnd
grc, text label and small photo, kinda like the news articles toc style)
instead of 8 groups with 3 child objects each… it's simpler to deal with…
only thing being you can't code against a subgroup.
I'm trying to fix as much of the "bloopers" as I can because we are doing zero
promotion until the android bug is fixed, just confirmed yesterday by HQ…
Accelerated rendering, again, is a problem on Android.
So, though the initial app was accepted on iOS I'm treating it like a "beta
test"
We also made some other bad decisions about navigation, leaving users with
"where am I?" in some contexts.. which are easily fixed… which also leads to:
those SVG icon widgets do not respond to touch unless the finger is exactly on
the visible pixels…a big "house" or "journal" icon works.. but slim forward
back arrows… not so much… users think the app is unresponsive, but it's just
their finger didn’t "hit it exactly" so they keep punching at the icon (like a
right arrow, or back arrow) until they do… nuisance.
So where we use them for navigation I have to create a small group with a
background graphic with a blend level of 99 or so and put the script into the
group. I guess this would be expected since the non-drawn areas of a SVG rect
are be default transparent but we I see this everywhere: Spotify uses some
really small icons, but I deliberately tapped just to the side of them and they
still fire… so I guess the SOP is to increase the response region rect for any
navigation where you don't need that area to do anything else… may as well give
the user a lot of touch responsive area… Would be super if we could build this
into the widget.. so you could, e.g set the width to 100 pixels height to 20
align the SVG to the left, center or right but the whole 100X20 region would be
reactive, even if the SVG only occupied 20 X 20. Is that worth an enhancement
request?

I agree with J. The simplest visual cue that there is something in the box

Doors that are mostly but not completely closed are the same way. Lists
should carry the same cue.
