Mobile interface, ver 5 vs ver 6

Post by Kent Briggs »

I've received several complaints from version 6 site owners who think the tables are displayed smaller on phones in version 6, compared to version 5. Mainly this is because the table chat appears to take up so much of the screen now that it has been moved the side. While it's true the table chat is much bigger now, that increase did not come at the expense of the table graphic. The table is the same size as it was before. Here is the version 5 interface:

The table graphic was just shifted to the left edge. All of the dead space in the control buttons was combine and placed to the right. The table chat was then moved into that area. That freed up space below the table so that all the bet buttons could be made bigger. And the checkbox options were spread apart to make them easier to tap. The limiting factor for the table size is the height of the screen, not the width. The table is already using up all of vertical space. Stretching the table horizontally without making it taller would just create a distorted look as I did in this mock-up:

A further improvement was made in version 6.06 where the lobby menu can now be toggled off. This allows the table graphic to grow to 100% of the screen height:
