Suggestion : when using IDX, make the book header match the quick view header

Post by kenfhill84083 »

Using the IDX, @ 1Pe 2.21, Cambridge shows "Luk 6.29" as a hit. (see screenshot — after clicking on it)

When I hover over it, the quick view header reads, "Quick View - Cambridge / Luk 6:29 - 1 Peter 2:21". Note that it shows both (1) the Cambridge entry and (2) the IDX hit. (see screenshot)

But when I open Cambridge, its header reads, "Commentary - Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges - 1Pe 2:21". Note that it shows only the IDX hit without the Cambridge entry for context. (see screenshot)

I have to scroll to the top of the resource (Cambridge here) to see where I am, then scroll back to the highlighted IDX hit in the resource.

That is a misleading heading since the Cambridge entry is Lk 6:29, not 1Pe 2:21).

And to make matters a bit worse, now in IDX "Luk 6:29" no longer has a nicely-contrasting highlight. On my monitor, it is barely distinguishable from the other hits. It takes much scanning and squinting to tell the Lk 6.29 is the currently-used hit. (see screenshot - the screenshot show more contrast than my monitors)

Suggestion : (1) make the resource book header look more like the quick view header OR (2) give the IDX hit more contrast when the focus is on the resource book OR (3) both.

This has been bugging me for a long time but it finally reached the log-a-suggestion stage for me.

I'll make a note to make the highlight more noticeable.

It can be a little confusing because unlike books and dictionaries the commentaries are divided by verse references which make them the topic. Plus, there is limited space in the ref panel.

Thanks. If the highlight were a bit easier to see, that should help a lot.

One other thing — a bit off topic — it would also help if the Bible refs in IDX showed a pop up of the verse text when you hover over them. Sometimes the IDX hit takes you into the book to far to see the Bible reference link at the top of the books section.

I made it so the selected item text will be bold. Will be in the next release.
