Description Nicolas Christener 2019-01-08 20:02:44 UTC
Description:
Notebook (TabControl (it seems Apple calls them "Segmented Controls") should be big enough to be able to use them with a finger.

LibreOffice has dialogs with quite many tabs and I'm therefore not sure, if a solution as described in the Apple HIG can be implemented. Apple prefers to have only one row with "tabs", please check their HIG guideline.

https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/controls/segmented-controls/

However I saw a possible solution in the "LibreOffice Design EN" telegram channel and will attached a screenshot (I think it was shared by @htietze)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a writer document in the iOS app, mark text
2. Open the dialog to edit the paragraph style
3. See the tabs/notebook widget on top

Actual Results:
The tabs are quite small and differ from the widget which is used in iOS (see iOS HIG).


Expected Results:
Bigger tabs and maybe move the tabs to the left side (see attached picture)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additionally: it's also quite hard to figure out, which tab is currently active. This sould be improved as well.

Ah yes, Heiko Tietze is the UX mentor at TDF. That tab arrangement looks rather nice, and LO dialogs are probably prime for a revamp, which is the route how they could end up in the iOS application, since the dialogs are tunnelled from the desktop version. How much work it would be, I don't know, probably a lot.

Fixed in 0.1 (22)

Thanks @Collabora!
