The DR800 has status indicators in the lower right. Although I haven't tried the 2.0 beta, I am assuming that there is a new pen icon to the left of the download indicator. Would it be possible to have a "fly-up" from that pen icon? Clicking on the pen icon would pop up a vertical row of icons for the various pen options. When the user selects an option, the pen indicator would change to that icon until the user clicked it again to select a different option from the fly-up.
This approach tells the user at a glance what state the pen is currently in. It requires only two taps to change the pen options. Also, by using icons rather than text menus, there is no need to translate for different languages. |
I think a pop up vertical row of icons is a great idea.
However, they need to be responsive.
Matthijs, please try your best to get this include in the 2.0 final release. Thanks!!!
