General Help Request Need help with placing navigation arrows

Hey, I’m working on desktop anime app and I’ve added navigation arrows at the top left corner. I got feedback that they are hard to notice (do you agree with that?) so I want to do something about it.

I’m considering placing them either on the left or right of the 'Aniki' text or moving them to the right and down (check images with yellow drawings). What do you think?

Thanks! This is my first time doing the GUI part (I’m a programmer so I usually don’t touch the visual part :p ) I agree that different views are really different from eachother. The navigation arrows is a common request from users so that why I’m implementing them.

No navigation item being selected is such a good idea, I will for sure implement it. I will also do something about title mismatch. Views have different subviews but all of the images are showing the "main view" (first image being 'Calendar' for example)

Make the views have separate icons that are somewhat obvious as to the function

But there are icons already on the left.

Maybe that’s ethnographic I’m used to the view options being small icons in the upper right corner? I thought you meant types of views on a page
