UI Suggestions [Proposal] #231

Open StereogramStudios opened 2 weeks ago

First off, amazing project! Microsoft finally pulled the plug on me being allowed to switch back to the original Mail App. I had Wino on standby.

My first UI suggestion is to add a single line mode to the mail list. In the Mail app, when you drag the mail list into a wider view, the list changes to a single line like so:

My second UI suggestion is about the background. The Mail app has a setting to turn off the "fill" entire background with an image. This allows the left side bar and mail list to remain in dark mode with a flat grey background with no transparency (like the image above). The image then centers within the confines of the right side area.

Thanks for giving Wino a try.

Both suggestions are valid and yes I'd like to have them implemented as well. However, 'fill entire window' is technically a challenge at this point due to how Wino's UI has been implemented so far. Adding that feature may require days of XAML work that may bring regression, therefore I'd like to avoid it for now.

Single liner mail template is a must have though. I think it'll be a good fit here

That makes sense. And I agree, having the single line option available under the mail spacing setting would make sense.
