tOLJY 15 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Not significantly, like I said it's just a little off. The spacing is 2px where it may have been 3 or 4px before. I think the green border really helps to seperate them in tv mode to show you what's highlighted, given you're likely to be navigating through the menu with a remote/keyboard and not just clicking the item you want like all the other platforms.

tOLJY 15 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 The headings are just a little too big. When highlighting an episode, the poster gets bigger and gets right up against th continue watching heading. There is no margin here at all. On the android tv version there is still a larger margin. I think the headings should be made slightly smaller, extra margin around those headers, a slightly bigger padding between episodes and bring back the green border. I think just some small changes like this will go a very long way towards making the app look much more polished on the tv version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 @arrbee99 didn't you say they were too small compared to android tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37116 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I think it's just a thicker font weight. I don't think it's actually a larger font size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1561 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Did I say the headings are too small ? Got a memory like a sieve, but I doubt it. I think I've thought (maybe mentioned) when you select something it can get too close to a heading, as suggested above, but more thought thats because they expand too much, not because of the heading size. Mind you, Looking at those pictures, especially the Continue Watching text in the second image (the new app), does look a bit bigger / bolder. Generally I think everything looks to big, hence my use of the 'smaller' size option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrbee99 1561 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 True. Although if you try the latest version they don't expand at all any more. Unless I'm talking about something different of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5052 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Those pictures really should be screen shots to be effective because you're debating pixels. Hard to tell with photos. I've been looking at most threads and I got to say for every person that says something is too large in one app, there are just as many who say things are too small. People have different sized TVs, sit different lengths away from the TVs, etc which effect their opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tOLJY 15 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 If I could provide actual screenshots I would. Is it really that difficult to gauge though? I'm mostly talking about relative sizes and the fact that the episode posters when selected bumps right up to the heading. Screenshot or not, that is quite visible. Adding the green border to highlight selection as the android tv app does would also not be shown better in a screenshot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5052 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 The green is another topic discussed a lot (not a whole lot of people like it), but the white tends to blend in with a lot of thumbs. I think it should honor the accent color from settings myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any border would really help highlight which item is selected in addition to the image being expanded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5052 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I think it was in the latest update 3.2.84, probably changed partly because of your input It's there now though, just wish it would change with the setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5052 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 BTW: there is a big thread in the testing area if you have more ideas. I guess the goal is to eventually have just one Android app some day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bring this up in the other thread. I've tried changing it to blue and other colors and it never changes from white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still quite like to see borders round everything in whitish with a nice highlight colour when in use - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't mind green myself. I can definitely tell which poster I'm focusing on with green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
