Saturn Zoom on Phones
Posted: 19 Jan 21, 03:34
 
Is there a way to apply Zoom on Phones without displaying the magnifying glass icon?

Thanks...and hope you're safe and well.

It's just a matter of hiding the magnifying glass icon, which is simple, with some custom CSS:
.fbx .fbResizer {display:none;}
ETA: The catch, of course, is that without that little icon, there's nothing to tell a visitor that he can zoom on the image. Accidentally tapping or pinch-zooming instead of swiping will reveal that fact - that might be good enough.

In fact, upon reflection, I might remove the Zoom on phones checkbox entirely, and just have that always active, and in keeping with my "get rid of screen clutter" approach, never show the magnifier icon. Opinions?

Decided I liked the idea, and implemented it in a bunch of my skins. So, no customizing needed - just install Saturn 50, and hit Make Album.

Jeff,

Sorry I just now saw your response.

My response: Your "always" fix is exactly what I was thinking...
The user will become aware of the (very nice) feature as soon as its discovered.

Thanks!

Yes, I concluded that, from what I've observed, phone users instinctively try to pinch-zoom an image. They're genuinely puzzled when that doesn't produce the expected result.
