Title: 1.5.9-37-dev3 - new UI element: Floating Context Bar
Post by: mikeone on July 10, 2015, 08:52:09 pm

Coming soon:
Version 1.5.9-37-dev3 + New UI element, Floating Context Bar, for message actions in message list. Used in single panel mode when Floating Action Button is on. Can be turned off in app settings -> look and feel.

> very good solution!

Sometimes I fancy myself a designer :)

Google's Floating Action Button and they way it's forced upon 5.0+ users has left quite a few people unhappy, having to reach all the way top/right for message actions... and there are only two icons (on most devices) which can fit there, at least in portrait.

So I've decided to fill this gap.

mike, thanks for posting, I will now make a new topic 1) with the link and 2) mark it sticky

With pleasure.
Would it be possible to increase the number of icons ( currently 4 + overflow ) a little?

I could put more icons there, but at some point, it would start to defeat the purpose -- which is to not have to reach too high.

The overflow is still there, and the actual popup (the overflow itself) is also positioned not too far from the bottom.

For me, it has the right size at the moment. (on sgs 5).

If you would put more icons in it or make the icons bigger, it should be configurable.

I have tried it and it's very nice for bigger screens, unfortunately font shrinks for me too much on my Moto G, even after I have disabled the context bar.

"unfortunately font shrinks for me too much on my Moto G, even after I have disabled the context bar"

Which font?

The context bar has nothing to do with the size of any fonts, can you clarify?

nice

it will be perfect if it is configurable.

I need the most "move to archive" when multi select duties. but it is not here and also not in top menu.
 I can move to archive one by one by swipe function.

Hi,
The option "Move to archive" should be shown if you have specified an "Archive folder" for your account.
