Text Entry template - remove status bar
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:24:55 UTC
With added soft keys for Baby and Jive we need to remove the status bar from the bottom of the screen to align the elements properly. This will apply to all text entry screens.
Noah, we've currently dumped the soft keys...do we still need to dump the status bar? IMO the answer is probably no...
This bug is dependent on whether the soft key feature is present or not. With the decision to remove the soft keys for MPQ/MP the status bar should remain at the bottom. The larger question is when and if we are adding back the soft key feature?
I would love to get soft keys in for MP (something to the level of one, maybe two tops, shortcut buttons that toggle between standard characters and "special" phrases (.com etc) that would be contextual to what's being entered. If I had to guess right now, this won't make it into MP, unfortunately, but we can/should go ahead and work on a design over the next few days so that we can at least see what we're dealing with.
Since soft keys aren't making it into MP, I am retargeting for CXR.
Matt-I think the ball is in your court on this.
Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code. Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the single original product.
Reset priority before triage.
Soft keys won't make 7.4. Retargeting.
Noah, is this still a relevant bug?
Matt, (see comment #5) the soft keys WAS dependent on removing the status bar to allow for more characters (vertical bar) on screen. So no, this bug is not relevant until the soft key design has been finalized/implemented.
