[Android] Request: Add an option to make the three dots menu indicator (more) transparent.
Hi, I'm here on a mission. :) To get rid of the three menu dots in the top right of the android version of the emulator, as an optional setting. :)
Already read into it, and saw that devs in here were not very interested in taking this on board as a feature request, because if people turn it off - they might be stuck not being able to enter settings and then require support. (See: https://old.reddit.com/r/redream/comments/tijmqa/android_how_to_remove_the_three_dots/ )
There is an easy way around it - and its a behavioral tweak. Meaning - please add a transparency slider for the three menu dots in android. That way people know that they arent turning it off, that way they can still press the top right of the image to enter the main menu, and that way people can finally turn off those three dots if they dont need them, because their emulation device has extra buttons we mapped to open menu, for example.
Only one downside - well, two actually
One is, that so far redream doesnt often use sliders in the menu UI, so it might not be something thats met with too much enthusiasm (dropdown menu with 50% 25% and 0% visibility would work as well).
The other one is, that right now its instantly recognizable on screenshots, when someone uses redream, because of the three dots on android. so if you low key want to still have that - hide the menu icon transparency option in some submenu deep down, if you must -- but please consider adding such an option. :)
I've used reicast and dare I say flycast in the past on most devices, but on some Retroid devices (Mali GPU) there are graphical glitches when using the gl driver with flycast on some games (Shenmue). So after years, I have switched to redream on one device at least (try out something new, why not) - but now I have my OCD triggered, every two seconds (if the background of an image is darker), because of the undefeatable three dots menu icon on android.
I am a paying user btw, but stating that just feels cheap. ;)
Thank you for considering,
