I would like to propose a feature enhancement for UI/UX customization in Detail View.
Current Limitation:
Currently, when a Background Image is set for a view, the system’s data panel (white in Light Mode, black in Dark Mode) completely covers the background. This limits creators from achieving modern, layered, or immersive designs.
Proposed Feature:
Add an Optional Opacity/Transparency slider (from 0 to 100) specifically for the Detail View data container.
Key Implementation Idea:
This feature can be kept disabled by default to maintain the standard AppSheet look for regular users. However, for “Power Users” or those who want a custom look, they can enable it to reveal the background image behind the data.
Key Benefits:
Full Background Visibility: By setting opacity to 0%, the background (including Animated SVG backgrounds) becomes fully visible, creating a “native-app” feel.
Glassmorphism & Neumorphism Design: This enables modern design trends natively without complex workarounds.
Advanced Branding: Businesses can show their brand identity/watermarks subtly behind the data interaction layer.
Enhanced Animation: If a background is an Animated SVG, it can stay alive and visible while users scroll through data.
This small, optional setting would significantly upgrade the design capabilities for all AppSheet creators who prioritize professional UI/UX.
I have a simple idea for the Detail View. Right now, we only have two choices: Light Panel and Dark Panel.
Can we get a third option? “No Panel” (Custom/Transparent).
Why I ask for this:
Sometimes I want my app to look clean and seamless. The current panels (the box) always lock our design. If we have a “No Panel” option, we can make our own custom background or use SVGs without being blocked by the default box.
It would be great if users can choose:
With Panel (Default Light/Dark)
Without Panel (Clean/Custom)
If you agree that more freedom for design is good, please give your support. AppSheet works better when we all ask for what we need!
Thank you @Steve for the information. I would like to speak on behalf of those who want to have custom-designed interfaces. We realize that creating custom buttons requires Base64 (Long Text - HTML), which currently cannot be integrated into our overall designs (SVG). The layout is broken due to the constraints between columns.
If the panel could be removed, we would be able to place our designs in the background, making the visual experience seamless and complete, exactly as we envisioned it. Therefore, I hope the AppSheet team provides two options for the Detail View: with the panel or without the panel.
