[REQ] Larger playback controls for easier interaction
Posted: Sat May 13, 2023 4:16 am
Version: MMA 2.0.0.1080
With the update from MMA 1.x to 2.x the playback buttons seem to have gotten smaller.
The rewind/previous, play/pause and fast-forward/next buttons are smaller. Consequently, if your fingers are big or if one has trouble keeping the fingers absolutely still, mispresses are more frequent and it is harder to reliably hold down a button (e.g. when rewinding a track).
The new design wastes a lot of space placing small round buttons where larger square ones would fit just as well. Even just changing the activation areas and not changing the appearance or size of the icons would be helpful. Please increase the activation areas of these and similar buttons so that they are as large as possible (without changing the visual layout, if that is important to avoid).
The star rating controls on the playback screen have also gotten smaller, to a point where I can never reliably set the correct rating without fudging around a few times. Increasing the size of the star rating controls WILL impact the visual design. Please at least offer an option to enlarge them, or make them larger in one of the themes.
In general please consider more diverse use cases such as small screens (I am running on 4.7 inches), shaky environments like riding on a bus and touch-attenuating cases like using the phone through an activity arm band.
