Re: Face Contact - New Contact App w/ Today Plugin
@ CareTake
Thanks for your positive feedback. This has been widely discussed on XDA-developers (you can find the link on the very first post on this thread). When selected (active) Face Contact display the solid color for a SELECTED PLUGIN as defined by the current "theme". This is what all plugins are supposed to do to signal their "active" status. Unfortunately it appears that many themes with a kind of "blackish" background (and the so-called "baseHue" parameter lacking any color) end up showing the selection with an extremely DULL grey, which is probably also your case.
We believe that having some kind of feedback of when the plugin is active is important because:
- when active you can interact with keys instead than stylus/finger
- when active you can dial by simply pressing the START CALL key, without having to perform any further tap/hold operation.
We plan to add an option with the following settings:
Selected background:
- solid selection
- half transparent
- transparent
Hopefully the half-transparent setting will reduce the "grey dullness" for those of you who have a theme lacking colors, while at the same time providing some kind of feedback about the active/inactive status of the plugin.
As for changing the image size, of course we already handle different dimensions to support devices with different screen resolutions/orientations, so it would be just a matter of exposing a reasonable UI to let the user select the preferred image size.
The first option will probably be available pretty soon. The second option may require more analysis and time to come, simply because we will have to ensure that changing the image size won't affect the size of the Face Contact preview that's shown in most of the dialog boxes.
Thanks again for your feedback.
