Listen button is hard to reach for mobile phones

I think it would be great to have an improved mobile layout with bigger buttons, because this will be a perfect Shazam alternative for mobile Linux phones.

Mousai already follows GNOME's standards for mobile applications. I don't think we can do much here. Editing the style sheet to modify size is not a very good idea.

You may want to increase your scaling to increase the button size globally.

I was actually thinking of a big round Mousai logo button in the middle or a slider at the bottom. The upper left corner is really the worst of all places for a mobile phone. I know Gnome is very limited in that regard. Maybe a Qt widget would be more suitable. I am actually starting to tinker with Qt Designer atm. Maybe I will build something when I find the time next year.

Ah, that makes sense, although moving the button at the buttom would require design, and not pretty easy to make it well. Making use of Qt is not an option for me too because I made this app specifically for Gnome. Of course, it would still work well with other DEs and WMs.

Something like this is probably possible with libadwaita also. When the screen size is small, the listen button can go to the bottom, so that it would be easily accessible with the thumb.

Good idea, but I don't like it much since both bottom and top bar by that will be very much too "empty".

A big round button in the center (instead of an almost empty bottom bar) would be nice. Here is Deepin voice recorder.
