Trook menu re-arrangement? #17

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I found the trook menu items are too large and them are across one screen 
page. Every time to stop the trook, I have to scroll to the click "Stop 
application"

1.If they are re-arranged so that all menu items could be shown on one 
screen page, unnecessary scrolling would be avoided. For example, menu 
items could be arranged as mXn grid.

2. Currently, one short click on the gear icon shows the virtual keyboard 
for "Open feed URL"; one long click shows the menu. I think it better to 
also make "Open feed URL" a menu item.

3. Since webpages are not optimized for nook. For example, sometimes, the 
right part of a  webpage would not be shown in E-link screen. Is it 
possible to add some logic so that users can move (left and right) the 
content shown in E-link screen for a better view?

#1 & #2 -- good idea; I'm hoping to redo that area over the next few releases,
roughly the hope is that I can "flip" the screen so you have all the settings 
on the
back side, but we'll see how that goes.

#3 -- probably the simplest thing at the moment would be to spawn the 
nookBrowser
when it's also installed (which it typically is, for the current set of 
softroots)

rev 53 replaces menu with a flip-around screen that scrolls horizontally like 
the
rest of trook -- hopefully this addresses some of the clumsy menu.

About spawning off nookBrowser -- it looks like hari did add this, but removed 
it
because some trook users preferred to load the page in the background (this 
trick
would just bring the browser in the background.) So, let me open a new issue 
about
better browsing, and close out this one.
