Option to hide progress circles while keeping text numbers visible in long scrollable list on diary
A recent update has changed the appearance of the N/T items on the diary page for desktop. Please note this makes for a very BAD user experience. Previously, users complained that they couldn't tell the difference between a nutrient they hadn't eaten yet and a nutrient that simply didn't have a target. The developers added the dots to act as a visual separator:
- Light grey dots mean 0mg/0g has been logged.
- Dark grey dots change to show you have logged an amount, but the app has no target to compare it against.
While intended to provide clarity, the execution resulted in a busy, high-contrast grid that distracts from your primary macronutrients. Now the most highlighted items on the Diary page are the nutrients that you DO NOT WANT to track. I just want to see the numeric amount of these N/T items in my diet for items like soluble fiber, DHA, EPA, saturated fat, and other items with no RDA. But now these are highlighted with large dark gray circles making it very difficult to quickly view the other items I am tracking.
Can we get this changed back to the previous less obtrusive look or at least provide an option to turn off the annoying large dark gray circles that mean nothing.
Anyone else with similar issues with this new visual?
A VERY BAD USER EXPERIENCE.

My work around for now is to is to "Use custom values instead of DRIs" and then set the Maximum Threshold to some extremely high value. This will remove the large dark gray circles from the tracking bar and just show an unobtrusive light gray bar. The N/T is replaced with 0% so it is a little misleading but at least it cleans up the display so you can see the nutrients that you are actually tracking. This is much better than the proposed soltion to just remove these items from your diary. I still want to quickly see the amount of I consume for theses N/T items and removing them would eliminate this ability. I still think it would be greate for the developers to fix this as it makes using the app on a Desktop very user unfriendly.
