Status Icons Return?

New postby CollinF on Fri Aug 14, 2009 3:27 pm

I would REALLY like to see the return of the status icons on the home screen (downloading, waiting to download, finished, etc.) Any plans to bring them back?

Hi Collin,

While I'm not entirely opposed to it, the icons for that took up a good chunk of PodTrapper's install size. You can get the same display back in text form, will that work?

Yeah, I just figured that would be a lot of screen real estate (especially on smaller devices)? I could also just not understand the solution you're presenting. :? The other option could be colored numbers to represent each category, maybe something like below?
1 Undownloaded
2 Waiting to Download
3 Downloaded
4 Ready
5 Started
6 Finished
But remembering what each color stood for could be a pain... I have enough trouble remembering which status bar at the top is which! lol

EDIT: nevermind, that would look like crap without some way to frame them, and then you might as well do images again!!

Have you checked out the advanced option in beta?

It does kind of that, but with text postfixes. Check out this page for details:
