I have to admit that I like the toolbar without its background image. What do you think all ?

Thanks for renaming them. Really helped

If you guys can generate multiple resolutions from the app icon, why can't you provide me with the original ? It can be any format. I can deal with it.

There's a problem with the icons: The next icon is used for the back button in pages. It's a blue icon on top of the blue bar which makes it hardly noticeable.

At the same time, we cannot make it bright because it's used for the "floating" navigation bar.

I'm attaching 2 screenshots

I'm yet to work on the settings page and buttons but that will take a while.

I see 2 problems with arranging the icons as the mockups:
1) Which one is used more ? The full screen icon or the menu icon ? Which one should be on the right hand side ?
2) When we add the recitation icon, the page number label will not be in the middle anymore

I have sent you the original 512x522 app icon in png format that one is only the original...

i forgot to make an icon for the back button, i'll post here in an hour or so, [see next post]

about the settings page buttons, i just wanted to tell you that I change that (button backgrounds) one according to the new clear dockbar.

now about the rearranging thing, both menu and full screen is used more, so i have 3 options i.e.[4th option in next post]

1. the fullscreen icon on right and menu icon on left because the fulscreen button will be pressed always when the app is opened. whereas the menu button is pressed at the time of closing the app and also the menu buttons options are left aligned and its hard to press the menu button on right and and tap on the options on left.

2. alternately the fullscreen button on right and menu beside it, and when the fullscreen button is pressed it goes to the left, pushing the menu icon on right.

3. i have one more idea to make the fullscreen icon floating , and rearrange the icons (like in mockup), this will give a space for the recitation button (i.e. in place of favorite button and favorite button on right)..

[further more... see next post]

BTW Are you adding multiple recitation with a button to cycle between them, if yes can we be able to add audio of translation, tafsir, different type of reciters, and can we be able to put the files manually(outside of the app)? thanks..

The number of icons is not constant.

We have 4:
Favorites, menu, full screen and page number.
Enabling translations adds an extra 1. Recitations will add an extra 1.

You can have 4, 5 or 6. How would you center the page number when you have 4 or 6 icons ?

You also don't have to go to normal view to exit. You can select quit from the menu.

I believe that the place for the icons should be fixed. We shouldn't change it depending on whether full screen mode is enabled or not. It becomes confusing to the user.

I tried the new icon and it's having the same problems

Recitations will be put in /home/user/MyDocs/.n900-quran/recitations hopefully with 1 file per aya. If you can generate such files then nothing will prevent you from adding it

But initially, I'll use a list of hardcoded recitations just to ease the implementation (Same as the translations)

i have the translation files (urdu translation), 1 ayat per file, its about 600mb

, all of them are in .wav format. but i'll try to find the recitation per ayat per file.

i think all 6 icons must appear but when its function is disabled it should show an error message to enable it from the settings. by this way we can centerize the page number.

i'll also show you a mock-up containing all the six icons later..

I also found that we can exit without exiting from the fullscreen mode after i posted that one..

what was the problems with the icons ? anyway its solved now....

i created a complete dockbar with six icons and page number, and in order to centerize the page numbers i think we need to add a index icon, i also created index icon and placed it.. see below...
