GUI improvement - xman - 06-10-2018 Hello developers! UAPP is cool player, but GUI is not perfect. I propose some tweaks: 1. Artists/Albums/... tab - icons at the top are all in different styles and different colors, EQ icon is not recognizable - text (album name, artist) is not aligned (by left edge) with album picture - it would be great to move the text closer to corresponding picture: it will be easier to understand is it caption for top picture or bottom, it will add additional spacing between rows - some icons are in low resolution result: 2. Album view - same problems with icons - vertical spacing between tracks is too small and inconsistent, it is hard to visually identify individual items (tracks) - second text line of track item has format: <artist> / <album name> - it makes no sense, album name already shown at the top and it is the same for all items, plus it almost always the text is trimmed. Please show <artist> only on this line - time text has awkward font size, and it is not aligned vertically with other text, I recommend to align it by baseline with first line (track name) and use same font size - as delimiter for time it is better to use "ratio" symbol (U+2236) rather than colon - 12∶34 vs 12:34 - it would be cool if you'll make indents for track numbers, plus align track numbers by right side (dot) if there is more than 9 tracks - I recommend to make all text gray, except actual track names - it is most important info in the list, plus it will help to visually separate track items in the list result: 3. Playback view - "Hi-Res" mark has extra white border, plus it has "3D" effect - better to use "flat" icon without borders - progress slider need to be aligned/resized to left and right edge - time text on left need to be aligned to left edge, time text on right ... - it would be nice to move <album name> line up to cover art, like in Album view - it will be consistent, plus while you are playing album this caption will remain static and only changeable text (track name and artist) will be shown lower - track name is main info in the view, it would be great to highlight it (make the text bright white) - same idea: all text is gray except track name - <track name> by <artist> is not great format, most of the time artist name is trimmed, plus it is visually merged with track name, I propose to move <artist name> to next line like in Album view - long line with technical info: there is too many zeros, use kHz instead (there is cool char "SQUARE HZ" U+3390 ㎐); you are missing spaces between number and unit (use "192 k㎐" instead of "192k㎐"); "1234 kbps" instead of "1234 Kbps" ("k" in lower case); I believe "File: " text is redundant; it looks good if info for source "192 k㎐  24 bits  5539 kbps" aligned to left edge and info for output "android 48 k㎐" aligned to right edge - "previous" and "next" buttons are too close to "play" button result: 4. Icons - most of the icons look "bold", take a look at my version...   Icons.zip (Size: 832.48 KB / Downloads: 1)             RE: GUI improvement - xman - 06-11-2018             RE: GUI improvement - xman - 06-11-2018             RE: GUI improvement - Tolik - 07-10-2018 And please don't forget for users with landscape orientation (e.g. TV)! Currently album art is too small, and a lot of space occupied on top and bottom in vain. RE: GUI improvement - xman - 02-17-2019 I thought it is "eXtream Software DEVELOPMENT" forum.. But it seems developers don't give a .. to propositions for development of UAPP. Zero response in months! :-((((((((((
