Notices

There's no need for a horizontal swipe. Just tap on the aya to display its options.

If we make the navbar always visible then we lose some space for the aya icons...

yep you are right.. i thought for the full surah and page recitation and came up the the function button.. ( this can clean up the dockbar i.e. R,T, full surah recite, page recite, and stop buttons can be pushed there in icon formats...

tell me your view about it...

thanks

Why don't we move R and T to the menu then ? The bottom row can be used for icons.

or as in Kasvopus v1.2, Toolbar can be extended to show two lines of icons.

the priority has to be given to functions the user use the most.

it could be (in my case):
1. Translation1
2. Translation2
3. Recitation (continuous, surah)
4. Recitation (single ayah multiple times)
5. bookmark

So in the settings page, if we can choose which all icons to be displayed in the bottom permanent/second row; it will be good as different users have different priorities

We don't have a second row but the bottom row of the menu can host icons.

We can put there any extras we need.

We just have to decide which icons go where

I hate to refuse features but changing the placement of the toolbar icons will not happen. It's a large task for very little value.

Most of the stuff you want is already easily accessible.

i got a new plan of ribbon dockbar, it will contain all icons in one row and wont mess with anything and look cleaner...even the menu items can accomodate in the dockbar... i'm not on PC right now.. so i'll show you the mock-ups later...

EDIT
Here is the new Ribbon Dockbar... (T icon moved to Main menu Dock in order to remove 'F'unction button)

[Explaination] When main menu is pressed the dockbar changes to the top most dock bar in the mock-up (containing back to default, change translation, settings, information/about, and exit buttons) and when pressed back button it to turns back to default dockbar (i.e middle dockbar in mock-up (this contains page number/index, favorites, recitation dock, fullscreen toggle, and main menu dock) )



To get access to Recitation functions press on 'R' button on default dockbar and get access to those functions (this dock contains back to default, Change recitation, page recitation, surah recitation, and stop recitation buttons)

Edit2: (Some Icons Fixed)



hope this solves all the confusions and cleans the dockbar with only 5 buttons on each (p.s. increasing buttons on present dockbar increases accidental tap on other buttons so i dont prefer that one.)

p.s. all icons are ready, i can send upon request, (only if this idea is good)..

Sorry for the late reply. I had an accident with my server and had to fix it. I was sick too but I'm back

Why don't we make the menu bar with 2 rows ?
Pressing the menu button will bring 2 extra rows on top with the icons you are suggesting ?

1 for extra functionality and the other for recitation functionality ?

We can also keep 6 icons per row instead of 5 in portrait mode and maybe more in landscape ?

Sura recitation cannot be 1 button because we can have multiple suras per page. It could invoke a selection dialog however.

We can make the only 2 rows (in total, as the same will follow for landscape) same as it is in Kasvopus and not total of 3 rows, as it would look bad.. (lengthy, cover most of the screen), i have a solution for that one, that is can we make 2nd row sliding for more functions, like slide and tap (i saw it somewhere in android launcher )
(p.s. 1st row is for recitation function and the 2nd row is for main menu buttons, so both are not required at the same time and we can have only one at a time (i.e. 2rows in total))

We can have only 2 rows at a time that is default and recitation or default and main menu. so three rows is not needed.

Keeping 6 icons in portrait will make it conjusted i think, and the present 5 icons looks good and easy

For the multiple surah per page problem i have an idea, can we add a feature to select a particular surah by selecting its heading and then pressing surah recite button, it would be easy then.
EDIT: Alternately a surah recite button in the index itself beside the the surah name..( it would be more easier now)..

thanks

p.s. i'll attach the new icons in a couple of hours..

New Docks Icons.. >>> (7 New Icons )

OK. I have to face the reality. I have a bad flu and I'm not working as I should.

The priority is to get recitation in a good shape.

The 2 rows menu is a nice to have feature but it's not a priority given the time constrains I have.

I could simply keep the R button in the toolbar (Sorry but we will end up with 6 icons).

The R button will invoke the recitation selection dialog. The recitation selection dialog will have all the controls needed for recitation.

I'm proposing we get it done that way for now. Maybe you all will like it

Later on the UI can be fixed as we see fit.

I hope that's fine by everyone
