[WikimediaMobile] Thoughts on using different wikifont icon for TOC (Wikipedia App)

2014-08-23 Thread Monte Hurd
When the TOC is closed it would use the one on the left, and when open the one 
on the right (see attachment). (Reversed for RTL langs of course)

I think this would really help distinguish it from just being a "hamburger" 
type settings icon.___

Today's beta includes the following newness:

- Fix for table of contents sometimes causing the article to jump around

- Networking crash fix.

- More responsive article touch event handling.

- Fix for reference panel sometimes flickering to blank.

- Better table of contents swipe gesture responsiveness.

- Slight increase in size of Nearby item distance label for better
readability.
