The System Settings design uses deep page stacks -- for example, five levels deep when setting a background picture. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Appearance#Phone> Discoverability of "Back" is my biggest concern with System Settings right now. In a couple of cases I've specified that the toolbar should be visible all the time: for example, the screen for choosing an area of the background picture. But that's only because the toolbar contains other buttons on those particular screens. > In any case, with gestures we need to be very mindful of how apps > are going to operate.

A gesture might be more efficient than revealing the toolbar then tapping Back. But I doubt it would be more discoverable. - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlG57TEACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecoGzwCgo4vTTmdYlcLHYGnl0LQz71HC eckAoI1i56T817vHSEfYS/WGBaHTkfV5 =s1ad -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
