More Native UI/UX (including simple refinements like not having the pointer cursor used on buttons/items)

Feature Request / Refinement

  • More Native UI/UX (including simple refinements like not having the pointer cursor used on buttons/items)

Feature function

  • I have something that’s just bothersome that I hope is quick to refine… something that’s effectively looking/acting as a native app should act like one rather than having a website-like UI/UX. For example, the buttons, left navigation items, individual items in lists & details, etc. that are clickable have the pointer cursor be used when a native app would have it still be the default cursor.
  • This is something that should be doable (seems adding cursor:default; to html, body [main text areas], a [left navigation], and .btn:hover:not([disabled]) [buttons at the bottom of the window] takes care of major items, but I’d imagine there’s more to it than those few items.)
  • Again, that’s how natives apps do it and it it would make sense to follow that convention as the app sees further attention.
  • Meanwhile having focus states, reasonable hover/active states, etc. for interactive items to help illustrate they’re interactive as needed rather than relying on the pointer cursor. (don’t want to abandon important UI/UX/accessibility principals… just want to make it more like a native app since it’s aiming to look like one to some degree rather than appearing like its own thing.)
  • Slack & Discord have the pointer cursor where it’s not troublesome, but the fact they totally make it appear like their own thing rather than looking anything like what might be a native app helps that… the BitWarden app is currently somewhere in an odd middle ground & should choose a direction… I see it being more native than being a fully unique UI/UX which then has it where things like the pointer cursor going away to follow that convention (among others that help make it look & act more like a native app).
  • This could potentially apply to the browser extension’s window as well.
