The developer's choice of 7 Nov 2026 (the mockup's variant E): a tap on
another destination sends a radial glow in the app's colour over the bar
from that destination's centre, solid to 35 % of its radius and gone at
70 %, growing to cover the bar (cubic(.2, .7, .2, 1)) while it fades from
half its strength in dark mode and a third in light, over 1.2 s, behind
the destinations and clipped to the bar. None for the destination already
chosen, none with animations off, and none for a tab changed without a
tap (a link, back): the wave answers the finger. The destination chosen
takes the app's colour, its indicator tinted 22 % with it, without
Material's ripple or the indicator growing; the bar's top corners are
rounded, 20 dp, the screen showing through them.
Each app gives the frame its colour (NavigationFrame's accent, from
PaletteColor): Learn's purple, its icon's last colour, Todo's strawberry,
Train's carrot and Meditate's fern, their screens' wash.
For trying it on a phone, a debug build's Settings has a section
Navigation bar (debug), halkyon_ui's NavigationBarDebugSection, switching
live, in memory alone: the variant (A Material only, C the wave with
Material's fill, E without it, F without the indicator too), the wave's
time (0.7 to 2 s) and the corners (0 to 28 dp). Release builds never read
it and show shippingNavigationBarStyle, the debug section's start: to
remove it, delete the section from the four Settings screens and
debugNavigationBarStyle, and let effectiveNavigationBarStyle return the
shipping style.
Whats-New: Tapping a tab sends a soft wave in the app's colour across the navigation bar, now with rounded corners.
Whats-New-De: Ein Tipp auf einen Tab schickt eine sanfte Welle in der Farbe der App über die Navigationsleiste, jetzt mit abgerundeten Ecken.
