@arunmani and myself worked a bit on making Wi-Fi networks easier to select in 's quick setting status page by giving the Wi-Fi list more vertical space and making each list box row a bit wider thus making it easier to select via touch (the same applies to other status pages like Bluetooth device selection):

@agx
I wish that clicking on the button itself in the quick settings would toggle wifi state and the little arrow would bring up the menu. It already confused me when i saw the bluetooth video. What are the UX designers thoughts on this?

@chfkch This is not about UX design but about having status pages early or wait for other things to land. We opted for early and iterating on it. You're free to not use that feature and totally ignore it.

@agx
Sorry if it came out wrong. I like the general direction all of this is going, i just wanted to start a discussion about my thoughts.

@chfkch No worries. If you look into the related MRs you'll already see mentions about future widgetry that will improve on this (or just wait until it materializes 😃).

It's as so often in sw development: cut the problem into parts that can progress independently (here: the actual status pages and their content (bluetooth, wifi, …) and the quick settings widgetry.

We could have waited until everything is ready but opted to get the ready parts out to easy some workflows.

@chfkch This looks like the right approach to me until we're in more feature complete waters. Alternative would be to only release 1-3 times a year.

@agx
That is reasonable. I was just confused. 👍

@agx
I thought the old design - which of course may be subject to change - was toggle in the quick settings and maybe i got used to it haha. I will just wait a bit, phosh did not disappoint me so far.
