Icons & other display issues #171

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'm loving the app, but there a few small tweaks that I would like to see.
-It would be great to have the option to have app icons displayed for 
notifications that don't have a contact photo  associated with them (Screenshot 
#1&2)or just to show app icons for all notifications instead of the contact 
photos.
-Since the update GMail notifications have changed in a couple of ways that I 
don't like. First, when there is a single email the delete/reply options are 
not shown by default(Screenshot #2)as they are in the notification tray 
(Screenshot #1). Having to click the contact icon and having it show all the 
settings and not just these options is somewhat annoying. Second, when there 
are multiple emails the GMail icon seems to be lower resolution(Screenshot #3) 
than it was before the update. Please bring back the old icon that is displayed 
in the notification tray or better yet the color app icon.

Thanks!

Thanks for your ideas, here my comments:
1. you didn't attach any screenshots.
2. the notification icon will always popup action bar to allow set app specific 
settings, pin notification or clear notification. this is not going to change.
3. if you just want to see icons without full photos, use compact style with 2 
lines of text, it will look almost like what you want.
4. the gmail icon is provided by the gmail app. if the notification contains 
hi-res photo - it will be used, if the notification contains low-res - it will 
be used. I have no control of what do I get from gmail. (actually there is no 
specific code for gmail, it's all generic notifications handling)

Thanks for the clarifications on the issues I brought up. Let me know if my 
related requests below are possible.

RE: #2 Before the update the expanded notification in the widget was exactly 
like that shown in the notification tray including the delete & reply buttons 
shown without needing to click on the notification icon, now this is no longer 
the case so the widget isn't really displaying the expanded notification 
despite this being selected in the settings. You can see this illustrated in 
the attached screenshots for both Gmail and Phone (no call back or message 
option without clicking on the icon). I have also noticed that with multiple 
emails the notification tray shows just the subject and first few words of up 
to 7 messages while the widget changes this behavior by showing up to 6 lines 
as specified in the settings but 2 lines per message so you can only see the 
subject of the first 3 messages. It would be great to just have the widget 
display what's in the notification tray for both of these situations.

So you actually suggesting two features:
1. Always show action bar option. 
2. Increase max lines options to 10 so you can see 7 emails.

1. Not exactly, by default I would want to see only the app specific actions 
(delete/reply, callback/message) that are shown in the expanded notification 
not the widget settings, pin, and clear button. That's how it appeared before 
the update.
2. Possibly, but I think the key is that the widget notification is showing 2 
lines per email, while the notification tray notification only shows 1 line per 
email.

I'll accept the action buttons feature. I'll show the settings/pin also but the 
app action buttons will be bigger with text just like in the previous version.

#186 should solve the action bar
