We so far have been recreating the background elements for all the item throughout the shell. This merge request simplifies this by unifying these elements into a single component, making is easier to keep things at a consistent design while also being able to adjust things when needed in the future.
Per request, I tried to keep thing looking mostly the same as before.
The first picture is what the action drawer looks like now, the one after is with these changes.
General improvements to the the quick action buttons look and feel. Also, press and hold was added to activate them.
As always, any feedback on these changes is greatly appreciated.
This merge request fixes an issue with notification list scrolling and also adds a few general improvements.
To accomplish this, the notification widget was moved outside of the action drawer swipe area and lock screen swipe area, separating them from the parent-child relationship. Instead, the notification widget is now layered separately on top. This change seems to fix the conflict when both areas are accepting swipes from the same direction.
Additionally, changes were made to the notification list widget for the action drawer to make it behave similarly to the folio home screen app library. Specifically, when at the top of the list, one can swipe down over the notification area to expand the action drawer. In landscape mode, the media widget, clock, and date were also added to the notification list to provide more room for viewing notifications when scrolling.
Closes https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-mobile/-/issues/318
Adjusted the colors of the notifications and media controls to help them fit in better together.
Clock position changed so that it will always be at the top.
The login keypad will now hide when the keyboard is opened.
The current lockscreen mockups were originally from this mockup: https://phabricator.kde.org/T12717
There are some issues with it however:
- The 0 key is on the right, which is a bit strange and differs from the layouts of all other platforms
- One-handed usability is worse due to 4 columns instead of 3
- Most mobile lockscreen have the keypad toward the center for one-handed usability, our keypad is stuck to the bottom
- It makes use of a lot of shadows which makes it slower to load
- It's supposed to emulate the design of the keyboard, but it doesn't look like it so it's out of place
The new design is much simpler, with a centered 3 column approach making keys much easier to reach with one hand. It also avoids the use of shadows and layers.
TODO:
- Investigate some improvements for keyboard input
