Icons at top are confusing #26

Open mattpardee opened 12 years ago

mattpardee commented 12 years ago

First off: awesome work guys. I'm loving using this already. Hexagons are awesome.

The list icon is relatively the same icon as what you see in Facebook et al that open a side panel (which is what I expected it to do). And I half expected the pin icon to pin me somewhere.. you know, I don't know where, it just didn't make any sense to me. A map image specifically would better communicate what it's going to show you.

you are the second person who said this about the list icon :)

@polotek said the same thing, in fact, he spent a lot of time trying to get the "menu" to pop out.

we should change this.

If the button was instead more like a tab, then the current depressed look would go away. It would be replaced with a background that extends to the bottom of the bar. Then it would appear that the button was related to the page currently being shown.
