Touch things to fix and keep an eye on
This is a rough brain dump of things to watch out for, will move this out onto other pages where appropriate:
- Test UI at lower resolution
- Portrait will be used more than it currently once we have touch only HW
- Need to minimise toolbar overflows and improve touch experience when it does happen
- Palette behaviours
- Hover/right click
- Clarify any primary button actions
- Keyboard shortcut usage
- Need any replacements using extra buttons/gestures?
- Screen display backlight brightness/monochrome behaviour - probably best resolved with a brightness/display device icon & palette as per the volume device
- Hiding keyboard accelerator hints when booting touch only hardware?
- Right click
- Touch and hold gesture
- Prelight effects are usually for reinforcing UI interaction during a cursor movement/hover. For touch, should it be used to indicate a widget is being held down, or remove prelight effect?
- Hover hints/tips
- Double tap interaction
- Make much more accommodating to second tap inaccuracy
- Tune cursor touch point to just below top edge of contact point (based on screen rotation)
- Maximise home view icon size layout
- Widget size usability
- Button spacing
- Palette menu spacing
- Size of hspan/vspan separator, gtk3 default looking a little better, GtkPaned
- Check boxes to on/off slider GtkSwitch
- 8-10mm diameter hit targets
- Up/down menu overflow scroll widgets too short
- Remove primary action from Neighbourhood view AP/ad-hoc widgets
- Double tap tuning to allow for errors in 2nd tap positioning
- Canvas drag scrolling
- XO 1.75 hard edge bezel?
- Screen rotation much more common/frequent on tablet format HW
- Landscape
- Portrait
- Better for long form reading/writing
- Better use of space with on screen keyboard
- Text selection touch features
- Touch friendly handles for adjusting selection
- Drag scrolling vs. text selection interaction
- Double tap and drag to initiate selection?
- Touch and hold, then drag to initiate selection?
- New pop-up palette?
- Cut/copy/paste
- Speak
- Share with friend (would require a clipboard clipping share enhancement)
