Monero GUI (Android) UI Bugs #3493

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

I was pleasantly surprised at how well the GUI wallet works on an Android phone, and I would say it's 95% of the way to being really quite usable for an intermediate Monero user (at least when the phone is in landscape mode).

UI Bugs that were spotted:

Bug 1: Everything in the 'Advanced' section is too wide for the screen and doesn't wrap correctly including the section buttons at the top (Mining, Prove/Check' etc). It should look and behave more like the 'Settings' section. image

What it should look like: image

Bug 2: Hostname/Port input fields have cutoff text, maybe could be more responsive or stack? image

Bug 3: Sidebar scrolling. The only 'scrollable' spot in the sidebar on a small screen is the tiny little sliver where the 'Accounts' text is in the photo below- the node area and account info really take up a ton of space and it would be cool to see these shrink to a 'minified' version on smaller screens that allows more visibility and scrollability of sidebar items.

Bug 4: If at all possible, it would be great to see 'custom decorations' unchecked by default for the Android build. It takes up a lot of screen area and is just an awkward experience as no other Android apps have desktop-style close buttons/title bars.

Bug 5: There is a white pixelish-wide border that sporadically happens on different sides of the app- usually on the right and bottom sides. Full length.

Bug 6: Text Centering/Wrapping Bug in Portrait Mode image

Bug 7: Portrait mode. I'm adding this as a bug, but it's probably more of a feature request. The Monero GUI is basically impossible to use in portrait mode on an Android phone because the sidebar doesn't collapse or have a minified mode. Adding a responsive sidebar (or just a total rethink) that can collapse and look something like MyMonero would be beneficial for the desktop wallet and it would definitely help make portrait mode 'more possible' on Android. image
