 Description   

If you try to edit a page on an iPad, it's very hard to actually hit the icons on the bars - their touch targets are too small. I'd like to increase those targets to ensure that the page editor works well on tablets as well.

I see the following options:

  • we increase both the icon sizes and the bar height for tablets
  • we only increase the touch targets by invisibly extend them beyond the actual icon size
  • a combination of the above two options.

I'd actually like to see a combination, as I only want to increase icons and bar heights up to a certain maximum (which we'll have to find). Beyond that, we should increase the targets invisibly - we'll have to separate the icons somewhat more to ensure we still have unique targets.

I'm linking this other issue, which already has the goal to increase icon sizes for desktops and tablets to make them more legible. This could already do the trick, but I actually expect we'll have to go beyond that to make for good touch targets. Nevertheless, MGNLUI-207 should be attacked first.

Here's a good article on various definitions of a "good touch target size": http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1085
