Dock and Other Slight Adjustments
complete
Colby Lamothe
As useful as the dock is, it feels like it is lacking a lot. The environment switcher should be built into the dock (opposed to it being located in the default start page of a browser.) There also should be a way to "deactivate" the hand-mouse pointer thing when you don't want it used. Apps such as "Immersed" do this by having you make a certain hand sign with both hands. This would make the experience dramatically better. However it is implemented, it needs to be quick and efficient to access.
The dock could definitely use some fine-tuning design wise as well. A cleaner and more modern look would go a long way. Maybe some form of glassy theme?
It would also be nice if the keyboard passthrough feature would simply be completely disabled when passthrough is enabled. It becomes more aggravating than anything when in this mode. Alongside that, it would be nice if there was a way to hide the dock and bring it back without pressing the buttons alongside it. Maybe an alternate finger press similar to how meta makes their dock appear? It would definitely help make the software feel more consistent with the OS of the Quest.
The arrows for window adjustment are always present, it would also be nice if those would fade away when you aren't pointing at the edges of the windows.
This is the best browser app available by a long shot, though there are many small things that are bringing it down. AI and other features in that area really shouldn't be focused on until the rest of the current features are smoothed out. I am not simply complaining, this is my to-go app already, though I can't imagine I am the only one experiencing these "issues"
It would also be nice if you could easily adjust the distance of the windows while using hand controls in an easier fashion. Not a major deal, though it would be a nice ease-of-use feature in the future.

I have to say I really like the look of the dock in the Meta workrooms app, looks very slick, and I have to agree the dock in fluid looks a bit outdated for a modern app like fluid.
Also please let us lock the dock and passtrue window in a fixed position, now I always have to move them around again when starting the app, ok nog a big issue but trying to use fluid as the standard browser and then it gets a bit annoying after tig times doing that ;-)
