Issues with the new start screen
Some remarks on the new start screen that displays recent conversations. This is mainly so you can collect opinions and take into account. But at least one issue is a bug that needs to be fixed.
-
I think the former design was better, because then you could read the name of the selected account. Now, you're required to recognize the picture in order to know which account is selected.
-
The search action now appears too promoted IMHO. It demands a lot of space, suggesting that it's something frequently used, which I'm not so sure about.
-
The search bar behaves a bit weird when focused, it's supposed to feel like a zoom-in, but the impressions is as if it's a button that when clicked takes you to another screen.
-
Since the three dots icon is located inside the search entry, it suggests that it holds options specific to the searching. But actually it holds the main menu for the whole app. This is confusing.
-
For no reason, the screen is now always scrollable despite having only a few items in the list. When scrolling, the top components too will move out of visibility.
