Option to go full screen without the ringing bell animation

Open KhaaL opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

There's a option for segments (notify, normal etc) to go full screen.

When the app goes full screen, it also has an animation of a bell, even when it's full screen for a normal step. I'd prefer a plain full-screen mode in normal mode without the distractions of a animated bell.

My usercase is that when I am coaching a group, I put down my phone and let it loop the segments. This way, I need to keep an eye on it from a distance to see how much time is left, and what "mode" it is in.

(I might do a few other issues related for the usercase "using app for coaching while keeping an eye on it from a distance", I'll think of a more concise name 😉 )

I can think of two ways to improve the situation:

  1. A new screen for the running timer where the remaining time is more prominent.
  2. New options to configure the full-screen reminder.

By the way, you can increase the text size of the remaining time of the running timer in the app's "Customize Screen" setting.

I think the second alternative is the most feasible.

Intuitively, I'd expect that an animated alarm bell should only be present in a notifier step and not in a normal step. But that change might cause confusion to those who are already using the app :-)

It is the "Screen" reminder that is available for any step that triggers an animated alarm bell. The type of step doesn't require any reminders.
