@stevebower Is there any documentation / reasoning about the TimeText choice for M3 appscaffold ? When scrolling stops https://github.com/androidx/androidx/blob/androidx-main/wear/compose/compose-material3/src/main/java/androidx/wear/compose/material3/Scaffold.kt#L74 the time is show again, but without any background or contrast security for what is below. This does not look normal.

Hi - I'll pass that on to our designers. Is that when the screen has been scrolled (I wouldn't expect there to be an overlap with the initial display positions)?

NB There is an issue with the letter spacing in that font, which should be fixed now (you can see the time digits are too spaced out).

[Tolriq]

Yes the screen is scrolled so the time will be displayed over whatever is at the top now at the same time the scrollbar vanish.

Thanks. I've reached out to the designers. There was a previous debate about whether to display a background behind the time text, but at that time it was felt that it might look clickable, which isn't the case because it would be smaller than accessibility limits.

[Tolriq]

In horologist the time is tied to the top of the list so scrolls out when scrolling but does not come back until scrolling to top. That looks natural.

@stevebower did you get an answer from the designers? Currently not hidding the bar at all, but need to decide what I'll implement now that the app was approved in beta.

Hi - the designers have acknowledged that the overlap is an issue, they are still discussing alternatives. One option was to put a background behind the time text in a different color, but we think that makes it look tappable (which wouldn't meet accessibility guidelines being less than 48dp in height). I'll update here when we know more.

Ok thanks, will skip the M3 scaffold for now then and use a custom solution for the hiding.
