Login screen/Code input Design
-
@purplevvay Hi, your designs look great!
The icons look awesome, the only thing I would keep as full text is the emergency text, because it would be more visible. Also the arrow at the bottom is inverted, in the system apps ( contacts, weather, calculator... ) the arrow is oriented the other way.Sure also the mobile landscape mode should be designed. I've put the user icon on the left of the username in my designs to fit also this need. Otherwise the keyboard might overlap the login field. Making it look the same on all screen sizes would be better for convergence. On my phone the space available is less than half of the screen height (other phones with different screen ratio might have less space).
I don't understand the function of the keyboard icon. Can't I just tap on the input field to open keyboard and swipe down to hide it?
My idea for the back button is to use a left to right swipe to go back. I've thought the login as a succession of screen displaying all users and quick app access. Swiping left/right would allow you to switch screens.

so, interesting, if we get rid of the box background completely, error text is not really visible. It is looking good replacing the text with white to match. here are screens, one no background, one with .3 opacity
Maybe we can change the way we display errors:

When you connect an external keyboard, the OSK doesn't show. If you tap on the icon, it will.
My idea for the back button is to use a left to right swipe to go back.
I think is better to use top left arrow than swipe, as is the general way to go back in the system (Camera is an exception, is ones of our divas)
-
yeah, the keyboard is for external keyboard/mouse set-up, but for some reason there is not a check to see if one is not connected, if we can fix that it should not show on touch only.
-
@cibersheep Thank you for the explaination. Now it's clear, if we can hide it when external keyboard is not detected as @mateo_salta suggested would be better.
Sure, we can use the back icon. Initially I've thought it more as a switch between screens than a button to go back, but since we currently have only 2 screens (greeter and login) and no multi-user or guest apps the back button makes more sense. I took the idea of the swipes from scopes. I liked scopes very much
-
@capsia well, the code is there for multi user, just not enabled yet, so we do want to be careful to theme/move existing things. eventually we will need some way of making a fake extra account to test.
-
Nice! @Capsia did you see the new qa - that is looking awesome! Are you merging the narrow view greeter and wide view? ultimately we are wanting the greeter to rotate
Very awesome to see your work on this with @UniSuperBox -
@capsia I love the login page with your picture, however, maybe it should be the Ubuntu Shape rather than a circle? bit more Suru styled?
-
Hello,
@mateo_salta Thank you! Having a greeter that is able to rotate would be great, so, yes, that's part of the plan. I just need to do one step at the time and I'll be there.
Working with @UniSuperBox is awesome! Thank you very much, I've learned a lot with you!
@PhoenixLandPirat Thank you for the suggestion! The accounts icon was already circular when I started, I've just used the one from the Suru theme

That icon is used through out the system such as in system settings, idk where else it's used, but I think when you have a profile picture, it should use the same shape as the people in the contact/messaging app, rather than a circle, I dont think its as big of an issue if someone doesn't set a image for there account, I think that the Ubuntu Shape would make the login screen fit with the system a bit better.
Youre welcome for the suggestion, and thank you for all your work!

@capsia cool, there was a draft pr that unblocked rotation i had - it just needs the animations applied to it - lomiri already has a layer that makes sure the apps underneath the lock screen are the proper rotation before unlocking, then @CiberSheep had some work on moving some elements too
hopefully some pieces to the puzzle to help -
Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to get multimedia controls on Lock/Login Screen. It's possible? It would be very convenient -
Hi @rocky58
You already have them in the drop down menu under the speaker icon...
There is a parameter in the settings to allow notification and quick settings... -
@rocky58 last time the old notification design on the welcome screen was brought up (i assume the media play back stuff would act as a notification bubble on the welcome screne) florian said it woud take a huge rewrite, and you might have to break thjngs beforwe they worked properly.
If its something you have the skills to do then Ill happily try and find the old canonical design documentation for you.

@capsia I just saw the latest QA. You guys are doing great work!

Just wondering how this project is doing. Being well aware devs have much on their plates, unfortunately not capable of adding anything prog involved, so not intending to push here. I am looking forward to seeing this project evolving and be implemented, especially an integrated ICE feature.
-
@3t_ed Hello! The first changes are targeting OTA20. You can check them here:
https://github.com/ubports/unity8/pull/401Currently I'm working on some new improvements for the devices website, after that I'll add more features here
-
@capsia
Thanks for the update and provided link. Your work is highly appreciated. -
@capsia really looking forward to this!! thnks for your efforts.
-
@capsia ah, forgot to ask; will the changes be included in devel-channel?
-
@messayisto It will be in the dev channel when the request for changes gets merged ( you can check on this link: https://github.com/ubports/unity8/pull/401 )
