Fenix 7 Pro: glance misaligned

For the Fenix 7 Pro the glance content is aligned differently than with Fenix 7S/7X Pro, and other Fenix devices. Typically the glance content is vertically center-aligned with the logo, but for the Fenix 7 Pro they align to the bottom. Maybe a simulator bug?

  • Thanks, interesting observations. You are right, it is probably the logo that is wrong, not the content. I do not have a physical Fenix 7 Pro. On all other similar devices the icon is vertically centered in the simulator, and on my physical Epix 2 Pro it is as well.

  • > it's a big square with no black or transparent pixels

    I should've said "it's seemingly a big square with no black or transparent pixels"

  • Sorry to nitpick, but it seems that the actual difference between F7pro and the other 2 F7s is the alignment of glance icon, not the glance content.

    In all 3 cases, it looks like the glance content (rectangle) is vertically centred wrt to the display. But in the case of F7pro, the glance icon is seemingly aligned with the bottom of the glance content while in the other 2 cases, the glance icon appears to be vertically centred.

    I would be curious to know if it actually works like this on a real device.

    On a real device I would expect the glance icon to be vertically centred, and that's how it seems to be on my fr955, with a sideloaded app that uses the default IQ launcher icon. Same goes for a similar app in the app/activities list.

    By eyeballing the glance icon and the original png, it looks like the original png is smaller (less tall) than the allotted vertical space for the item in the glance/activity list, as delineated by the vertical line on the left which indicates the currently selected item. Based on this, I assume that the icon is literally vertically centred, as opposed to being so big that it fills up the entire space and only "appears" to be centred.

    I also have a 3rd-party app which looks like it uses the entire "canvas" of the launcher icon for non-"blank" pixels (it's a big square with no black  or transparent pixels), and it still doesn't fill the available vertical space, so I would use this as further anecdotal evidence that these icons are probably vertically centred, at least on a real fr955.

    (But ofc the best way to test this would be to create a launcher icon of exactly the correct size and to make sure there are no black pixels on the margins, then to try it in both the sim and a real device.)

  • The code to test this is quite simple, the white rectangle just follows the edges of the dc:

    dc.drawRectangle( 0, 0, dc.getWidth(), dc.getHeight() );
