Idea: Reduced mode for disconnected/muted watches

Open v6ak opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

In order to have fully operating smartwatch, you need to (1) have night mode off and (2) have your watches connected to the phone. My idea is that this situation is special and should be shown in a noticable way – maybe using a different theme. This should be noticable enough.

I am not sure about the configuration of the UI. The simplest way is to just allow to configure a second theme for such situation. That is, the same theme for disconnected watch and muted watch.

We could go further, e.g. we could allow a different theme for disconnected watch and a different theme for muted watch. However, what theme should be used when both happens at the same time, i.e. watches are disconnected and muted at the same time? How to make configuration easy enough?

And we can go for even more complex situation. We could distinguish between disconnected watches with BT on and BT off. But this is probably too complex and not worth of doing this way.

I have started implementing this. If you are interested in this feature, I hope I can polish it and create a pull request…
