@shawnborton Yes I think that’s correct.

@aliabbasmalik8 I’m liking the direction you’re heading, but you’ll need to verify that your proposed solution works for iOS AND Android (with screenshots). If you can do that, please resubmit a proposal with those included, and a summary of exactly what you’re going to change, links to those files, and any resources you’ll need (like a new font for example). Please use links to our actual codebase (example), and markdown code blocks rather than screenshots of your IDE. Generally speaking, I’m looking for a very clean proposal that has everything we need, all in one comment.

@thierrysantos I’m not quite following your last two comments, but I ask that you please only comment when you have a solution ready and have a proposal to resubmit. Posting investigation steps is making this thread noisy and hard to follow.
