The ideal would be 7-8mm if I rememeber correctly. But we don't have a *reliable* way to detect that in our platform, as far as I know. Our universal unit is the GU, so that's what we're basing on.
If you know of an API that our platform already offers, please comment on the MR, having the physical size would be awesome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1468645 Title: [sdk] Buttons and other widgets are too small for comfortable touch usage Status in Ubuntu UX: In Progress Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: [Updated description] On Ubuntu phones, buttons and other widgets are too small for comfortable touch usage. This is mostly about buttons like those seen in the shutdown dialog. They feel too small (they are in fact 5.5mm high) to be able to reliably hit with a finger, and that's on arale which has a large screen. But our GUI elements vary in size a lot and we got it right in the many menus/list views. There, each row is a nice comfortable height (10mm). Compare to Android 5.1.1 on a hammerhead where buttons/list items are 12-15mm high, the larger size is more comfortable and faster to use. ––– Update: The shut-down dialogue will follow new rules we are defining for button size and spacing which will appear with updated SDK UI items. The GUI elements should all be touch friendly and consistent in size.
