Suggestions for navigating v5 dashboards

Some remarks about the navigation button at the bottom of the screen on mobile.

Here it is:

  • On the one hand, I think this large button would deserve a slightly more pronounced shadow in its upper part, as I sometimes have trouble distinguishing it from what is below
  • On the other hand, I would have loved to be able to slide laterally to scroll through the list of dashboards, because there the behavior is a bit shaky to my taste:

A click on my living room icon gives:

A click on my bedroom icon (right next to it) gives:

So already we have lost the icon with the « … » it looks weird.
And when I click on the caret icon, I get this list which I find quite unattractive:

Especially since I have to scroll in this list.

Maybe it’s my abusive use of dashboards that leads to this behavior and that I don’t represent a classic use, but I wanted to raise this point :wink:

I’m adding a point about the navigation bar: on mobile, when I switch from landscape view to portrait view, the navigation bar is broken until a refresh.

I pretty much agree with you. I have a few dashboards, and the ability to scroll horizontally instead of opening a list and scrolling vertically saves an action ^^ (to be seen on PC for those who abuse dashboards even more ahah)

It is possible, doesn’t it work for you?

You have to slide in the middle of the screen!

Oh good to know :smiley:

Oh sorry, I didn’t express myself well!

That I’ve tried, it works very well and it’s practical! But let me tell you that if I want to go from one of my dashboards to the last one, the « global » slide will quickly slow me down ^^

I meant a slide gesture ON the dashboard menu to scroll through the list horizontally, like for this banner in the integrations:

I confirm, I also need a slide for this bar that lists the dashboard icons, so I can comfortably navigate among my 20 dashboards :blush:

Hi everyone!

This topic is now in development.

A PR has been opened to make the dock’s pill bar scrollable (many dashboards, long names):

Feel free to follow the PR, test (optional, especially for small requests) and share your feedback here if needed.

Proposal for a Fable: https://claude-gladys-dashboard-navi.gladys-plus.pages.dev/, what do you think? :slight_smile:

That’s exactly what I was imagining :ok_hand:

I made a few fixes to make it cleaner, and I merged it :slight_smile:

I like it a lot too! Thanks :wink:
