Login screen/Code input Design
-
So now we should write a qml version of the mockups and submit it
That would be optimal, but we will probably need some help to do this.
or open a new topic about feature requests, shouldn't we?
I would open an issue on github with a detailed request and mockups
I will continue to work on the QML side but that will take some time and much work for me. If someone with QML knowledge wants to help me that would be great.
-
I think it would be better to get the opinion of UBports people especially the design team before doing any serious effort on actually implementing these designs. I would be willing on helping on this
-
@kugiigi That makes sense. Do you know which is the best way to reach out to them?
-
I think we should contact these people:

If you're serious with this, I would suggest to make a proper design proposal and maybe submit them to @CiberSheep .
!!!
I guess we will also need to describe how did we create the mockups. I used there some transparent to black gradients: one 360 another from top to bottom. (in both versions)

Talking about who's doing what, how many core devs ubports has?
On the forum there is even no "Dev" title like there are ones for "moderator" or "administrator".I don't know how he found this UX design list, however deprecated.

Ok thanks.

Just go to the join-us page, click the design icon, then find Leading members and click "Find out here". You can find some more info by editing the path.

@purplevvay I was quite motivated to continue tinkering with qml and made this work. Note that this is very much a hack rather than a real code intended for real use:

A summary of this thread:
This thread discusses many different ways on how the design of the Login screen of UT screen could be improved. The whole conversation got pretty big thus, here is a small summary on Ideas, wishes and approaches.
What is to consider when redesigning the Login?
- The design needs to be convergent (usable in desktop and mobile mode)
- The design should look good in light and dark mode as there is no way to incorporate theming well.
- The design should not duplicate the look and feel of Android or iOS
- The design needs to be usable as good with a pin as with a passphrase
Which designs have been discussed so far?
@purplevvay made many mock-ups for different design Ideas, and we borrowed some from the ICE thread as well:
1.
- close to the current design
- original Keyboard is used
- slight transparency
- Input field based on login method
- Emergency is missing
2.
(my personal favorite)
- repositioned input
- bigger user Icon above the text input
- Original keyboard is used
- No design changes based on Input method
- Very universal between light and dark mode
- transparency for default user and input
- blurred background
3.
- full screen pin pad
- extra click required for keyboard
- not very convergent
- modern
- a mobile experience people are used to
I created a click dummy for this design:
https://aaron.place:8018/index.php/s/ot9SEG5FWfH2nJE4.
These designs are more or less a variation of the designs in 2. but uses a custom version of the keyboard.
How far have we come to implement this our selves?
I have been able to tweak unity/lomiri to my liking, but we are not really close to anything that could be proposed in a pull request.
To @CiberSheep and the rest of the design team:
What do you think of our Ideas and mock-ups? Do you think this is something that should be added to UT? How could we further help you to turn this into reality? Do you have other thoughts?
To anyone:
If you are interested in turning this into reality, I would be happy to give you a small gift card as a thank-you

Thanks for putting them together
Personally I like 1 as keep the Ubuntu look and 2 (even I would suggest some tweaks) because is quite simple and yet with character.Some additional thoughts:
- Emergency is required and I think it should be visible
- I think we should use UT OSK as the keyboard (which is themable)
-
I'm with number 1 too. It has the least change from the current design but makes it look a lot better.
-
I think we could make #1 happen.
- add phone icon + 'emergency' translated above keyboard
- just keep user picked theme of keyboard
-
Hi! Great to see that you like my designs!
You might not have noticed that in the design there is also a proposal to move the emergency button. I think the button fits better on the home screen, because it should be very fast to access. The user should just swipe up or tap on the label to open the emergency dialer and maybe also emergency information in the future as discussed in the ICE thread. Since UT is hugely based on gestures I've also placed a camera swipe to make pictures when the phone is locked which might be useful.
I've used two different styles for the keyboard to see if the login theme fits to different keyboard themes.
Let me know what do you think
-
The Emergency button, will it be a quick dial option for calling a preset (national/regional/personal) emergency number? Will it accomodate the (future) options as discussed in the ICE topic? Or both?

Glad to hear it! But which tweaks would you suggest? Ready to improve the mock-up asap!

It looks good! But I guess we should make the passcode/passphase bar transparent to let it be suitable for any theme.

@capsia The labels are good to know which swipe is which but I think they're too all over the place. Also personally, I still want my left/right swipe to unlock. I think it's not yet possible to open the camera in the lock screen anyway. You'd still need to unlock before seeing it.
-
yep, lets focus on what is there to theme first.
I do really like the idea of the emergancy on bottom edge, will have to see how we code thathere is a screen of progress in implementing some theme tweaks:
I think maybe it could go a bit lighter?

- Emergency button should be visible
- I would use OSK for numbers as well
- I think the top area needs a bit more air: icon and TextField could use some space around
- Size of the TextField should fit one of the text sizes in the OS, maybe «medium»
- Account icon should be system one
- On landscape, maybe you could place the clock on top of the infographic and leave place for the TextField (that would need to go up when OSK shows up

The goal is to have a full ICE page with all the information needed when tapping on the emergency button, also it would be great if we could have some predefined phone numbers to call when opening the page because typing a full number might be too slow in an emergency. So opening the dialer without any predefined number or emergency info could be ineffective.

I've tried to use transparent background, but it doesn't look well when a user sets a light background:

I think we can resize them to make them feel better, I was also thinking to show them only on the first login to introduce users that come from Android or other OSes to the unlock method. Then it would become an habit to the user so it shouldn't be needed any more.
For the camera not yet is keyword
. It will come one day, but for now we can keep the unlock gesture also for the left swipe. In the future we could offer an option in the settings. -

Great to see this implemented in system!

I think it looks very good! I guess the only one thing we need is to make the passphrase/passcode field less rounded to match the system look. (sorry for not saying that earlier)
The background in lockscreen is darker then the actual one. I put the white color background to see if that's true.
