Toggle maximize video button is rather confused #67

Closed adam-jones-net closed 3 years ago

adam-jones-net commented 3 years ago

If you are in full screen mode with none of your browser interface visible then there is a button bottom right called "Toggle maximize video" which when pressed enables the top/left interface of UI3 whilst keeping the browser in full screen mode.

The problem is that once you've clicked it the button disappears and there isn't a button to go back to just full screen video feed. This is confusing and means its much slower and more clicks to go back to the mode you were in previously. Please keep this button constantly on the screen and change it's icon so that it can switch back to just the video feed.

The button I am referring to is below, second from right. image

You're right. I can do better with this. I've never been very happy with the icon I chose for that button either.

Do you have an opinion about these?

Those first two, I would probably mirror horizontally since that better illustrates the direction of expansion.

I couldn't find a reverse version of that last one but I could probably modify the existing one to create it with arrows pointing the opposite way.

I get nearly all of UI3's icons from material.io since the original graphic designer ruppmeister disappeared. If you have any better suggestions, I'm all ears.

Thanks so much for looking into this.... Just for general reference, I use http://thenounproject.com/. Their collection is just massive. I'm personally ok with the current icon but modified in some form for the reverse scenario.

Implemented in UI3-144.
