MC14 and Touchscreen

<< < (2/4) > >>

MrHaugen:
This question have been raised many times before. Why not do like the android scrolling? You flick, and the scroll bar appears (only use arrows to browse and the scroll bar is hidden). After the scroll bar activation you touch the scroll bar and move down and up. The letters appear, telling you where you are. Fast, efficient and easy to read.

A simple option for using TV with touch screen and increasing the width of the scroll bar could work as an easy, but not so elegant, fix.

Uwe:
MrHaugen, sorry, but what is the meaning of "android scrolling"?
TV with an increased Scrollbar should be enough but the Scrollbar is missing at some pages of the TV and the Scrollbar is too narrow and too close to the border of the screen. I don't understand how to increase the width of the scrollbar. With a midsize Touchscreen (16 or 17 inches) the usibility is not very good. Generally it's hard to control a Touchscreen close at the border. I tried to explain that in my first post.
Sorry if this was posted before, but i didn't find answers exactly to theese questions.

If you want to check the usibiltiy of TV and a Touchscreen it is very easy: Click the left mouse botton and keep it pressed while you are moving the cursor. You can't move the curser without clicking. That's exactly the functionality of a touchscreen. The closest Click-Distance to the border of the Screen is about 5 millimeters  because of the width of the finger. With theese few rules, you can check out the usibilty for a Touchscreen.

This is the minimum condition to use my touchscreen furthermore in MC14.

Thanks

would it be enough if the scrollbar is 1 cm from the side of the screen? or must the scrollbar be bigger also.

the first would be easy and i can change obsidian touch a bit and send it to you. the second i should check out.

Uwe:
The first should be enough.
Thanks a lot for your offer, gab  :-)

Of course, a bigger scrollbar would be better. At the Moment the width of the scrollbar is about 0,5 centimeters. 1 cm would be the best. But this may be an information for developments in the future.
It is much more important to add the scrollbar on the pages in TV where it is missing.

I know, that you are very busy at the Moment with MC15, but would you please invest a few minutes in my questions.
Maybe my english is not good enough to understand or you are not interested in Touch-Screen Support any more, or i haven't found the answers in the Wiki or in the forum, or maybe MC15 will bring back the Touch-Screen features again. But please let me know. MC is making music in my living-room every day- since a few years and i just want to know if i can use my Touch or if i have to swap to a Remot-Control or something else.

Your English is very good.  We are extremely interested in Touch Screen, but we believe it works.  Try the "flick scrolling".  Touch and move immediately, so you are "throwing" the screen.

Use the Obsidian Touch skin for Theater View.
