There are few usability issues in OpenTTD Android port that can be fixed with a simple changes to the GUI system.

  1. Ability to drag windows with right mouse click, by clicking anywhere in window. Not all devices have 640x480 screen, so many big windows, such as Settings window, cannot fit the screen. Although not really a fix, this hack will make the game usable.

  2. Drop-down menus should be accessed with two mouse clicks. Currently if you click for example the Save button there will be drop-down "Save", "Load", "Abort game", "Quit" - you have to drag the mouse to the menu option without releasing the button, it's almost impossible to do on a small touch screen. Also would be nice if the items in the menu won't be packed tightly, if you'll put an empty line between them it will be easier to click.

Reported version: 1.0.5
Operating system: All

OpenTTD is developed/designed/implemented to be used on 640x480 or higher with a mouse. Usability on small display devices isn't and hasn't been something we are bothered with. Yes, there are some things that work reasonably on small display devices, such as the toolbar, but those were developed by the (then) NDS porter.

  1. some windows (e.g. depot and smallmap) use right click for other purposes, so it won't work on all windows.

  2. that breaks the quick access to the most common features for basically all those buttons, which makes OpenTTD less usable for most people. Also quite some of the dropdowns are quite long, so doubling their length might, pretty easily, overflow the amount of vertical pixels the device has.

  1. It might be a good idea to only allow this for screens that don't fit the screen to prevent conflicting right mouse click logic.

  2. It seems to me like it would be best to only make this a possibility for very small (sub-640x480, in either direction) resolutions, or to make this a compile/config flag.

Not relevant anymore - phones became bigger, and Android port went through GUI redesign, more info here: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=49867&p=1115210# p1115210
