Things like Frame/Table titles, the new iFrame features, timelines, etc all have this annoying scaling name or button attached to them that scales up as I zoom out on my board. For things like frames I normally just made the name empty to hide this effect, but these scaling buttons on some things like timelines or the new iFrames are unable to be removed.
I find this annoying for a few reasons:
- I zoom out to get an overview of my board and everything on it. The scaling items cover up a lot of other items and reduce board visibility.
- It’s distracting, it’s something moving/changing size on my screen, which is really distracting to me.
- It feels like it’s yelling: “Hey!! Did you know there is a Timeline here?!!!” But I already know there is a timeline there, why does it need to stand out? It’s so big and covering up other items and I know where things are on my board, I don’t need to be reminded.
- The new iFrame feature adds these new kinds of scaling buttons to links I paste onto the board. When I’m researching something, I normally paste everything I find onto the board in case I need to reference it later. I don’t need 50+ buttons scaling out really large, showing there are some YouTube video’s there. I really prefer those ‘old’ cards that just showed the thumbnail and title, without that extra large button covering up the other videos.
Some solutions I think would work best:
- Add a setting to enable/disable scaling. This would toggle scaling on everything, from table titles to iFrames and focus mode buttons.
- Add a setting to enable/disable the whole banner with name & focus mode button. I never use focus mode, so I don’t want it covering up a large part of my screen.
- Add a setting, so the user can choose between iFrames and the ‘old’ frame for things like YouTube videos. A board default should be able to be set, there should also be an option per item/card.
- Related to the previous points, be able to hide the focus mode button on specific items. Maybe someone does want it on one, but not the other.
Thanks for reading all my point, I hope a good solution will be used to solve this problem. Feel free to ask me if you need any other info, ideas or elaboration!
