Thumbs down for Pauli's bug and for the task switcher usability issue.

I think there a several usability issues. These should be fixed before this application goes to extras.

  1. It's very unintuitive to remember how to turn on the LED.
  2. There is no icon to switch to other applications. Here should be the same button in the left upper corner as in other maemo apps.
  3. Please consider to move the colour selection bar to the bottom of the application to avoid conflicts with the task switching button (upper left) and the close button upper right.
  4. The flash light icon is too close to the close button at the moment. It could be pressed accidentally. To avoid this see point 3.
  5. As already commented by others the LED is not turned off if I close the camera cover.

Thanks, Uwe

This app suffers from the same camera-breaking issue as Flashlight:

1) Turn the LED light from moodlight 2) Take a picture with the camera (pressing the camera button)

Taking the picture fails, and afterwards the camera application does not start. A reboot is required to fix this.

Vote down because of this; end-users shouldn't have to deal with this.

Otherwise, the app seems to be OK and do what is promised.

I also suggest that led is turned off when cover is closed.

  • also, it would be nice to turn off the LED automatically when the lens cover is closed.

  • it would be nice to have the app suspend when the keypad is locked while the app is running in fullscreen. The app does seem to suspend when task-switcher is activated. A keypad-lock could emulate the behavior to save resources.

  • Selecting 'desired color' from the left side of the spectrum triggers task-switcher. The only way to get the color is to quickly select it before full-screen is triggerred - quite unintuitive. IMO, it is not necessary to enable a hidden task-switcher button.
  • novel app.
    thanks
