Version 5.0 - circles displayed along the top and bottom of the reader pane

Hi Jim,

thanks for the explanation!

Yes, I do have custom actions on those. I set them to previous/next page. I have now removed the next-page options and those circles are gone. And then tried to also remove the previous page options and okay, yes, the edges work reasonably well on default. Originally, I only had the top edge and the bottom edge configured for navigating back and forth. Not sure if the edge-option is new and why I didn't set the middle area of the screen, I just had those settings for the past ten or so years like that. For now, I'm good, though. Thanks!

I do think it would be great to have the option to disable those circles while still having the tap-gestures wired up. The reason is that I use almost all the screen space for showing the book's text and the circles run into the text. They also distract a bit. And if the edge default wouldn't work as well as it does, I would now be stuck.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for the answer.  I agree it would be good to make it a user choice whether to show all the little circles and icons around the edge of the screen.  For some users they could be helpful, but for others they'll be a distraction and an intrusion.  I will add a new optional setting in the next app release (some time in the next foour weeks I would expect).
