OK, I’ve been using bottom nav even before enabling it “recently” and I love it!
I do wonder if it would be possible to improve slightly the customization. Right now you can only select visible and hidden elements/section. If you want to have clutter-free bottom navigation (in my case it’s Queue and Subscriptions) then you loose the access to the remaining views.
Would it be possible to have 3 possibilities: shown in bottom navigation pane, listed in overflow hamburger-menu (not visible by default but still easily accessible) and hidden (for all the screens/section that we don’t care about?
(not sure if this should be in new thread/other section…)
Moved it to a dedicated thread, not to clutter the one about the release notes
Not 100% what you’re asking here, but it does address the issue to de-clutter the bottom nav: we decided to remove the possibility to completely remove screens from navigation, but at the same time allow you to determine which two, three or four items you want to display (with the rest going to the ‘overflow’).
Yes, this is what I was thinking - instead of hiding them completely show them only in the overflow menu so if I decide to not have them in bottom panel I would still be able to quickly access them via overflow menu.
However, I would argue that instead of replacing “hidden” with “In overflow menu” it would be better to keep “hidden” and add “In overflow menu”.
Rationale: there are still some sections I don’t care at all about like “start page”, “history”, which I would still gladly kept hidden.
(should I include the commet in the linked github issue?)
I understand. We (@ByteHamster and I) concluded though that we want to prevent completely hiding pages. If not we could have, for example, a situation where a user hides all screens to add a new podcast, forgets, and then complains that they can’t add a podcast (we’ve had similar cases in the past).
