half-line-height white/black-list buttons are difficult to tap #946

I have read: CONTRIBUTING.md and I am pretty sure this isn't a feature request, caused by a lack of understanding of rule chains, a complaint about broken sites, nor a +1 thread-bump.

I have fancy new windows tablet, and the "go red" "go green" options are quite difficult to tap with my sausage fingers. This is quite troublesome because if I miss, and I tap "go red", I then have first tap "go green" in order to cancel the first "go red" and then take a second go at the initial "go green".

It would be nice if there were some kind of option for a full-height "go green" at the start of the line:

big green easy to tap toggle button

At this point it might be clear i'm not a graphic designer.

When the green area is clicked/tapped the colours swap leaving a red button on a green background.

This will sound like flattery in an attempt to get some development attention, but since I heard of this product I've not run chrome without it. Thanks for the help wading through the sea of privacy invading malware that is the web!

What do you think?

Well, another idea to solve this is making cells be triple-state. I mean: a grey cell --[click/tap]--> white --[click/tap]--> black --[click/tap]--> grey By this, you can use entire cell to switch its state and the matrix keeps clean looking. I don't use taps, so it would be nice if this feature is provided as an option.

@guest20 Did you try to increase the font size in the Settings pane in the dashboard?

@gorhill - I feel stupid for not seeing that option as a potential solution, thanks for pointing that out.

After playing with the slider it turns out that making the text bigger makes the touch area bigger, but it also effectively makes the dialog smaller and pushes all the 3rd party stuff off the bottom of the window.

I gave it a go with the size right down, and it's much better to look at. At that size I can see more stuff there but it's nearly impossible to tap the "Yes, let me have youtube" part of the "domain" entries and even harder to just get JS from there.
