Feature description

I know that this is going to have its difficulties, but is there room for small arrow indicators to show that there are more categories or sub-menus that are to the right / left of what is shown on the screen at the time?

I do understand that you have worked very hard on the layout of this space over the last few weeks for it all to look uniform.

Now it looks so uniform that for family members it is not clear to them that there is more and which sub-menus are a part of what category if that makes sense.

All options are bright white. Screenshot 2024-04-21 134617

The other idea I have had for the Detailed setting is you show a border / background highlight around the sub-menu options of the currently selected category?

Why is this feature needed? Please justify and explain.

Would show that there are more categories to pick from and show what sub-menus are a part of which category.

Screenshots and Additional Info

In the option Basic, you have greyed out what is not selected so it is clearer what is happening.

Either way, I understand this may move you too far away from what you want for this skin, so I completely understand if this is too far / much of a change. Thanks for your skin and awesome efforts. QuickSwitchLK

These are all valid and had similar thoughts myself.

Some sort of left/right more indicator is long overdue and has been sitting on my todo list for a while.

Also still trying out a few things to differentiate the submenu a little better from main menu, and also the currently selected category. When I tried the same dimmer/greyed and font weight approach it didnt work as well as with basic so still trying a few indicator light type ideas out.
