[Bug 1468645] Re: [sdk] Buttons and other widgets are too small for comfortable touch usage

 

** Description changed:

  [Updated description]
  
  On Ubuntu phones, buttons and other widgets are too small for
  comfortable touch usage.
  
  This is mostly about buttons like those seen in the shutdown dialog.
  They feel too small (they are in fact 5.5mm high) to be able to reliably
  hit with a finger, and that's on arale which has a large screen.
  
  But our GUI elements vary in size a lot and we got it right in the many
  menus/list views. There, each row is a nice comfortable height (10mm).
  
  Compare to Android 5.1.1 on a hammerhead where buttons/list items are
  12-15mm high, the larger size is more comfortable and faster to use.
  
  –––
  
- Desired resolution:
+ Update:
  
  The shut-down dialogue will follow new rules we are defining for button
  size and spacing which will appear with updated SDK UI items.
  
  The GUI elements should all be touch friendly and consistent in size.
