Can I completely disable nav ball and floating toolbar in V2.3?
Can anyone tell me whether it's possible to completely disable the navigation ball and the floating toolbar in V2.3 (preferably specifically on the Nova Pro)? I don't mean minimize them: I mean turn them off so they're not visible at all. I'm loathe to upgrade to V2.3 because I don't want to end up with (even minimized) widgets distracting me from the wonderfully pure reading experience which I currently enjoy so much!

Many thanks in advance,

Mike

The Navball can be switched off - call and switch to the left.
I do not know about the toolbar, it does not appear to me - I should have disabled it without knowing it

There's a setting in "General settings" which lets you completely hide the floating toolbar. It doesn't disable the toolbar, in that it will still appear if you swipe in from either side. But the setting completely hides the small wedge that you usually see when the toolbar is minimised.

As far as the navigation ball goes, there is a setting is in a separate 'navigation ball' app (accessible from the 'app' tab) which lets you disable the ball completely.

My experience is on the Max 2, but my understanding is that these elements of the interface function identically across all devices.

I haven't upgraded to this FW yet. Is the upgrade worth it? Is the floating toobar useful or annoying? Can it be turned off. I already have the nav ball in my FW.
