[Bug 1645602] Re: New spread shows cropped thumbnails
Thanks for your feedback! My comments to the solution proposals: 1) Add an animation... There is already a focus animation in place when selecting an item from the spread. It's very subtle and quick scale animation for the selected item to bring a bit smoothness to the selection. We made it very subtle (and not animate for example the whole movement from spread to the final position) for a reason that the same spread and animation is used in every device and both in windowed and staged mode. For example on a large screen in windowed mode the selected spread item might need to travel across the whole screen. And changing between app windows via the spread is something the user is very likely to do a lot. 2) Don't crop the thumbnail... Not cropping the surface doesn't really solve your problem. To move the items to the spread from their original positions we would still need to scale the surface down and translate it to have windows somewhat vertically aligned in the spread. Scaling and translating are the reasons for particular app item position not matching, not cropping. This problem already existed in the previous version. 3) Add some visual feature... To keep the view as simple as possible I would not add any additional visual elements to it. One thing that comes to my mind is to round the corners just a tiny bit to give the spread items more thumbnail feeling. We might explore that option in the future. ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645602 Title: New spread shows cropped thumbnails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1645602/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

A few suggestions for possible solutions: 1) Add an animation when activating the app (but this has the drawback or making the UI slower) 2) Don't crop the thumbnail, but respect the aspect ratio of the window: in this way the thumbail will be smaller, and the user will be able to predict where the restored controls will be found 3) Add some visual features to make it clear that this is a thumbnail, so that the user will not be tempted to interact with it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645602 Title: New spread shows cropped thumbnails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1645602/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
