Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Search icon seems so have super small safe area around, you really need to tap exactly on the search icon to open

What is the root cause of that problem?

No fixed height and width is assigned to PressableWithoutFeedback container.

App/src/libs/Navigation/AppNavigator/createCustomBottomTabNavigator/TopBar.tsx

Lines 62 to 71 in 98932a2

	<PressableWithoutFeedback
	accessibilityLabel={translate('sidebarScreen.buttonFind')}
	style={[styles.flexRow, styles.mr2]}
	onPress={Session.checkIfActionIsAllowed(() => Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.CHAT_FINDER))}
	>
	<Icon
	src={Expensicons.MagnifyingGlass}
	fill={theme.icon}
	/>
	</PressableWithoutFeedback>

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Add styles.touchableButtonImage to styles object and remove styles.mr2. We might also need to align the icon a bit by adding some left/right margin.

We can also add role={CONST.ROLE.BUTTON} if needed.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Result

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Search icon seems so have super small safe area around, you really need to tap exactly on the search icon to open

What is the root cause of that problem?

We don't have any padding around the Search icon, making the hitbox small.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We will add styles.p1 to the button styles here, so the hitbox is bigger.

App/src/libs/Navigation/AppNavigator/createCustomBottomTabNavigator/TopBar.tsx

Lines 62 to 66 in 98932a2

	<PressableWithoutFeedback
	accessibilityLabel={translate('sidebarScreen.buttonFind')}
	style={[styles.flexRow, styles.mr2]}
	onPress={Session.checkIfActionIsAllowed(() => Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.CHAT_FINDER))}
	>

style={[styles.flexRow, styles.mr2, styles.p1]}

Result

Before

Hitbox in red. Area is small and easy to miss

After

Hitbox in red. Added breathing space

Without hitbox highlight:

@Ollyws all yours now

[Krishna2323]

@mountiny, I agree it's an easy one, but it still required time to determine the appropriate styling. I propose using the same styling as the back button, which would maintain consistency and aligns with how we style other icons. Additionally, we invest fair amount of time recording videos for each platform. Therefore, I'd like to request an increase to $125. That's my perspective, and I'm open to hearing your thoughts.

Taking over as C+ (https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C02NK2DQWUX/p1720649616158539)

[rayane-djouah]

@Krishna2323's proposal looks good to me. I think using the same styling as the back button sounds good (we use styles.touchableButtonImage in a lot of similar icons).
