Feature request: Spacer widget to allow blank pages (including for top / bottom widgets)

[mikehgentry]

Describe the idea (required)

If you had a 'spacer' widget that didn't do anything (except take up a token amount of space), and allowed people to put it on a page on its own, you'd effectively allow people to swipe widget panels to a minimised state, saving screen space when you don't really need the information displayed on the other pages.

If you allowed pages for top / bottom widgets this would be especially useful, because the Elevation Profile widget is useful but very big.

Tell us about the expected behaviour (required)

Add a 'spacer' widget which doesn't do anything except take up space. Putting this widget between two other widgets could pad them out. Putting it on a page on its own would mean the widget panel shrinks to a minimal size - still large enough to swipe back to another page, but taking up much less screen space.

The Elevation Profile widget used to respond to horizontal swipes, now it seemingly doesn't (it only responds to taps). If that isn't intended behaviour, you could perhaps use vertical swipes to change widget pages for top / bottom panels.

Tell us about alternatives you've considered (required)

You can use other profiles, but that's less convenient.

A smaller Elevation Profile widget would also make things easier for small screens: #16139

Another idea would be a widget button that would bring up a screen full of widgets.

@Sonwon1 you can try Fullscreen mode:

• go to menu > settings > your profile > general settings > and enable fullscreen mode When this mode is on, you can tap on empty space on the map and all widgets and controls will disappear

Thank you for the suggestion.

I don't think I explain the idea very well. I think a nice to have is a (master) widget, when you select the (master) widget it would open a screen full of widgets that were predetermined by the user. Maybe you do not need to see some of the widgets showing all of the time so you could have them show when you wanted by tapping the (master) widget. You may want some widgets to always show and others available at a single tap. The (master) widget would be a toggle widget.

On a side note, full screen doesn't really do what I would expect the name full screen to do. Full screen to me means all of the screen is used by the app. I would look at renaming full screen to reflect it's true function. Something like "Tap screen to hide all widgets." This is the reason why I never enabled that feature. I'll leave it on for a bite and see if I like it.
