Make application scale to fit the 10'' screens
There are black bars on the large screens now. Seems that application knows only about 7'' screen width max. It seems to be great for visually impaired people to have fonts, buttons and coloured rectangle scale to fit screens of 9'' and 10.1'' width.
There is a black, inactive margin added to both sides and the bottom of the screen. I have added it intentionally to provide a bigger area for holding the device (especially useful on devices with thin frame around the screen). I think this is what you may be seeing.
I guess that, depending on the device and the user, the frame width may or may not be a problem. Also, I don't have a 10" device to test so maybe I made the margins too wide.
Perhaps the additional margin should be optional or its width configurable.
I have tested on a 10" device and on an emulator with a number of size and resolution settings. The fonts look right. Can you send me a screenshot?
Attaching the image. From my point of view (I've tested on my granny). Black bars should be twice narrower and then letters can be 1,5x larger so as start\stop and rewind\fforward buttons.
Thanks. I'll try to come up with a solution. I'll probably make the black bars configurable somehow.
Hey, is the plan still to make the black bars configurable? I noticed they still aren't. Thanks
How would you change the bars if they were configurable?
This is an old issue and since then I have introduced an additional "high contrast" color theme. The theme has a black background so there's no way to tell where the touch-insensitive area ends and the touch-sensitive area starts. Therefore I am considering removing the black bars on the sides next time I do some changes to the UI.
Hey,
I'm aware it's an old issue which is why I was asking about it. If I had the ability to make the bars narrower it would make the rest of the screen and text slightly larger yes? On the 10" tablet the bars are really wide...
Thanks
