- 6. Windows 8 Design Principles What are they?
- 7. Windows 8 Design Principles • Do more with less – Content before chrome • Pride in craftsmanship – Styling, layout, typography – The details matter • Be fast and fluid – Design for touch with motion and ergonomics in mind • Authentically digital – Remember that user is interacting with computerized device • Win as one – Use contracts to work with other apps
- 8. That’s awful designer-like What about us developer types?
- 9. Approach Your UI Differently • Design for Touch • Put Content Before Chrome – Full Screen Content • Leverage Adaptive Layout • Be Authentically Digital – Don’t try to mimic the real world
- 10. Design for Touch
- 11. Windows 8 Touch Language • Design your app to be touch first Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh464920.aspx
- 12. How Does Touch Change Things? • Targets must be bigger Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465415.aspx • 40 x 40px – Recommended minimum size – IF a wrong touch can be fixed in 1-2 gestures or within 5 seconds • 50 x 50px – Recommended for actions with severe consequences – Close, Delete – Requires 2 gestures, 5 seconds, or major context change to correct
- 13. What Doesn’t Work With Touch? • Listbox and ComboBox – Don’t have a good form factor for touch UI – Still available, but their use is discouraged
- 15. Content Before Chrome Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh868264.aspx
- 16. Content Before Chrome • What is Chrome? – Chrome is anything that isn’t CONTENT – Chrome is clutter • Drop the clutter – Focus on what is important – Let the rest fade away • Example: – Commands don’t have to take up screen real estate • Get rid of menu bars • Swipe from edge for system commands • Swipe from bottom for your app commands in AppBar
- 17. Adaptive Layout
- 18. Adaptive Layout • What is Adaptive Layout? – A layout that adapts to the available screen real estate Source: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx
- 20. Adaptive Layout • Snap View • GridView • ListView
- 21. Snap View Source: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx
- 22. Snap View • 320px Fixed Width • Matches Height of Screen • Allows for multitasking
- 23. GridView • First thing you see with Start Screen • Primary way to display data • Scrolls Horizontally • Uses Rows and Columns • Can display grouped content – Using CollectionViewSource
- 24. GridView [Demo]
- 25. ListView • Exactly the same as GridView EXCEPT: – Scrolls Vertically – Uses Rows • Works great for Snap View
- 26. ListView [Demo]
- 27. Authentically Digital Don’t try to mimic the real world
- 28. Semantic Zoom • Lets user quickly navigate large amounts of data with touch gestures • 2 Levels – Zoomed Out • The Forest – Zoomed In • The Trees
- 30. FlipView • ItemsControl to view a single item at a time from a collection • Navigate between items with swipe gesture • Good for a small number of items
- 31. FlipView [Demo]
- 32. AppBar More Content Before Chrome
- 33. AppBar • Menu Bars are clutter – Not CONTENT – Commands aren’t needed constantly • Only show when needed – Swipe from edge for system commands – Swipe from bottom for your app commands in AppBar
- 34. AppBar [Demo]
- 35. Recap • Design for Touch • Utilize Content Before Chrome – Full Screen Content • Leverage Adaptive Layout • Be Authentically Digital – Don’t try to mimic the real world • Developers can make good looking apps too
