Improve the separation between notes tiles

Open maxongshD opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

I want to suggest an improvement you need to add separators between notes on the main screen. (for both tiles and linear sorting).

Having a clear separation between notes in both tile and linear sorting views would really help with readability and organisation.

Since @maelchiotti said that he's not into Material You coloring the notes (wants to avoid a very colorful app), perhaps we could consider a subtle alternative. For example, the MI Notes app uses soft, unobtrusive colors for note backgrounds, which might be a good compromise. Another option could be an subdued outline view (maybe without shadows). This would keep the simple, elegant look while making it easy to see the difference between notes.

MI notes:

1716639094920 1716639094928

Outline example (from FossifyOrg notes):

I do like how the Mi Notes look, I will give it a try and make it optional.

@maxongshD @itsmartashub If you wish, feel free to try out the new notes tiles background option I added in #78 (an APK is built as an artifact) and tell me what you think! I designed it to be similar to Mi Notes and to be toggleable, like the separators.

Implemented in #78.

You're setting some standard with the speed of implementation of new suggestions, considering you're working alone. Thanks so much for the update 🥹 I'll give the feedback as soon as I get a moment to try out the mentioned version
