Thanks Rachel. Some things I can think of that will need including in a full spec:
- Is the hint shown even when the call is in the foreground? The wireframe and video suggest so, but it's not clear why. - Does the call icon temporarily replace any of the existing indicators, or is it additional? - If the call icon is leftmost, as shown in the wireframe and video, what happens if there isn't enough room for it? The current overflow design assumes that the leftmost indicators are hidden, so this would need to be an exception. (The transitions video assumes no SEARCH label and therefore no overflow, which would be excellent.) - Can you dismiss the expanded hint without returning to the call, or is it like a notification bubble in that you need to wait for it to go away? - What happens if the call fails while it is in the background? Does the hint stick around, so you can call back? If so, for how long? - Is it possible to be in two calls at once, for example a phone call and a Skype call, or a Skype call and a Google Hangout? If so, how is that shown in the hint? And if not, what prevents it API-wise? - Should the same kind of hint be used for indicating that a background app is using the microphone (bug 1224756) as is used for a call? If so, presumably it should have a different icon. And if not, we'll need a different design for that, which would be tricky because you might be recording the call as well. Incidentally, I find the transition in the video rather disorienting, mostly because tapping the status bar causes it to move down while stuff appears both above *and* below it. It would be easy for it to do just one or the other. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to Messaging Menu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1259896 Title: [indicators] add active call hint in indicators Status in The Messaging Menu: Opinion Status in Phone App: New Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Confirmed Status in The Unity 8 shell: Triaged Bug description: Current situation No active call hint available Design solution Introduce active call hint in the indicators Refer to slide 4 on https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/presentation/d/1RevYZ6bODa6uRiHuMsmVfMoXGwdZ73qwkYJIb_3B6EI/edit#slide=id.g255f49779_0721 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-messages/+bug/1259896/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
