First, please let me know if you’d rather these be elsewhere—new to Arctic but really liking it.
I’m on a quest to find the perfect Apollo replacement since leaving ‘that place’. Arctic is so nice and close I know this is nit-picking now. But the image view was practically perfect in Apollo and just a couple of tweaks if they’re possible would bring that joy back.
First off, hiding the phone status bar and action buttons on first open—just the image, scaled to fit.
For zooming, double tap to zoom in is great, but Apollo had single tap to zoom out again which combined with swipe to dismiss made getting back to the feed almost a single action—effectively a double tap with drag on the second tap. It was so slick.
The action buttons don’t currently show / hide on single tap when zoomed in so I don’t think that change would break any existing functionality.
Yeh, there is room for improvement with hiding bars, and navigation that I just haven’t figured out how I want to address yet.
I did manage to fix hiding the status bar in the media viewer for non-notched devices. I tested on an SE (gen 3) and it seems to be working well. I originally had disabled hiding the status bar on non-notched devices due to an ugly transition when the status bar hides, but I managed to fix that yesterday.
Thank you so much for all the feedback lately, it’s been a big help in finally going through and addressing some long standing bugs and annoyances!
No problem at all—it’s great to see the rough edges all disappearing :). Status bar works nicely now.
