Hi,

When I play audio and accidentally pull the headphones wire out, it keeps playing at the same volume, but from external speaker.

I think it's supposed to stop the audio or set different volume (the volume set for external speaker before inserting headphones), isn't it?.

Is that a bug, or I am doing something wrong?
Any config files or logs I should check?
Maybe I need to setup something like a sound server (like JACK)?
My device (jasmine_sprout) doesn't have a headphones input.

Thanks for the reply
Best Regards

Cool setups!

This is mine:

@purplevvay I like the icon only idea looking nice

I think we don't need a "go back", or if we want just the arrow to the left of the login?

I have tried doing that, but if I just place the "Back" icon to the left (near the text field), some people may think that this button allows to change the user. If I place that below, it won't be that visible as the forward button is.
I haven't got any other ideas (maybe yet).

@mateo_salta said in Login screen/Code input Design:

@purplevvay yes, this is implemented as a background could be white in places making the text there in unreadable, if we come up with a better option, this could be removed
possibilities?

• adapt color with calculating brightness(could lead to just grey text, or partially disappearing text)
• drop shadow(difficult to get right)
• more complicated text overlay blend mode( more difficult, resource intensive, might not exist in a simple command)

I don't think so. Also the time and the day showing widget are white. So we don't need to worry about that.

@capsia said in Login screen/Code input Design:

Hi, I have a few updates. I've managed to make the white text more visible on light backgrounds using a bit bigger text and I made a design for the emergency screen.

Looks so good! Also I really like the landscape mode. But I think we should scale the items differently. Ubuntu Touch supports convergence and gives us ability to use our smartphone like a computer. But this system is developed for mobile devices (smartphones, tablets) so it should be optimized primarily for them.
I mean we should make the items a little bit bigger.

Hi, I apologize for not replying for long time.

I have tried to match all the needs in these mockups.
The problem is that emergency and unlock instructions make the screen look overdetailed. So I have tried to use Suru icons (system default icons). But some of them are made by me, so it would be cool if someone, who knows more in design, will make them.

So basically when you turn on the screen you just see clocks and day showing widget. But when you tap, the unlock and emergency swipes instructions appear.

I have also an idea about the passphrase/pin section (screen):

The size of text field should match the current one.

@mateo_salta said in Login screen/Code input Design:

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 that

here is a screen of progress in implementing some theme tweaks:

I think maybe it could go a bit lighter?

Great to see this implemented in system!

@capsia said in Login screen/Code input Design:

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

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.

(even I would suggest some tweaks) because is quite simple and yet with character

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

capsia said in Login screen/Code input Design:

Let me know what do you think

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

@cibersheep said in Login screen/Code input Design:

Feel free to ping me and I can pass to the rest of the team

Ok thanks.

@keneda said in Login screen/Code input Design:

I don't know how he found this UX design list

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.

I think we should contact these people:
https://ubports.com/members/contributors/ux-design-3

@kugiigi said in Login screen/Code input Design:

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)

Glad to hear that my mockups are useful

So now we should write a qml version of the mockups and submit it, or open a new topic about feature requests, shouldn't we?

But later, I guess right now everyone is focused on preparing ut for focal.

@kugiigi said in Login screen/Code input Design:

But all the theme switcher apps on the store uses the config file ~/.config/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/theme.ini

Is there a way to create a passphrase/pin bar using the elements that support theming?

like this:

Also I edited a little bit the horizontal view:

Ive been doing some tinkering and start to understand how things work in Lomiri. I was able to tweak some things to get dark mode.
(configured manually)

Great! Respect.

So maybe, the design should be neutral to light and dark theme.

That's what I tried:

Swiping is still the best for emergency (I think).
Will make a vertical one too soon.

As far as I know there is no way to fix it. Sad

@kugiigi said in Login screen/Code input Design:

If you have a test device that you can reflash easily, you can install an IDE or text editor (i.e. Geany) in your root and use X-forwarding so that you can modify QML files directly and restart Lomiri. Just make sure your device automatically starts ssh upon boot so you can still connect to it and fix in case something goes wrong. Also, of course, backup first the original QML files.

Unfortunately I don't have test device, but thanks anyway.

@aarontheissueguy said in Login screen/Code input Design:

@purplevvay do you have time to create mock-ups for the different orientations and desktop? Maby an emergency button could sit in the top left corner.
I will try to get a design working in unity/lomiri in the meantime.

Yes, of course!!!

Ok... so don't get too high hopes, but I think I might be able to make tweak the login screen the way we imagine. Probably in a hacky way though.

as I said I'm not a QML dev and might not be an option to be merged into master, but I will try my best.

No, you are very good! Best of luck. I have never tried qml. I have been always using HTML & CSS.

I think this is what we need to look at https://github.com/ubports/unity8/blob/xenial/qml/Components/Lockscreen.qml

Okay, I'll compile it and run on my phone. I'll let you know how good/not good it is as soon as possible.

@kugiigi said in Login screen/Code input Design:

If you're serious with this, I would suggest to make a proper design proposal and maybe submit them to @CiberSheep .

It would be great if the design is convergent so it'll work in portrait and landscape. Currently, the lockscreen has separate layout for portrait and landscape and no rotation support so if ever we redesign it, it's better to include the rotation support as well

I guess we need to try. Worst they can say is no.

Regarding the keyboard design, I'm not sure if we can include it in the total design of the lockscreen since it's a separate component which has its own theme.

Yes, I think so.

theme 'emergancy' in a better way, bottom bar buttons are an artifact from old designs, word buttkns could be better as icons

I have tried that, but I didn't get a good result. Probably because I made the emergency button from scratch. And I'm not sure where to place that.
@Capsia 's emergency templates are the best solution. (In my opinion)

I have tried to get rid of fullscreen dialer and remove space between the passphrase bar and keyboard.

I guess keyboard shouldn't be transparent, otherwise it may cause bugs in using applications.

Sorry for the long delay.

@mateo_salta said in Login screen/Code input Design:

I think we can improve just by removing the background behind the keyboard and allowing the password box to theme, maybe transparancy on that a bit.
I disagree with going back to the fullscreen dialer:

• harder to type with one hand
• too much like 'other os', we want to be diffrent, but also consistant and more usable, making things look like another os just for familiarity is not good
• showing password length isnt good for security (true we only have 4pin right now, but hopefully will change)

Current notes:

• matches system keyboard
• nice to type with one hand
• needs transparancy( i have wip pull request)
• needs theme and removal of hardcoded background color
• do we need 'cancel', user can back out other ways
• theme 'emergancy' in a better way, bottom bar buttons are an artifact from old designs, word buttkns could be better as icons

That's true. I'm trying to create a new mockup based on what you have said.

@aarontheissueguy said in Login screen/Code input Design:

@purplevvay
Here is a link to a click dummy i made, I will add the keyboard functionality in the next days. Some proportions may be different and it would be great if you could send me the assets you used to design this.

https://aaron.place:8018/index.php/s/ot9SEG5FWfH2nJE

Great job!!!

@capsia said in Login screen/Code input Design:

Hi, I've made some designs previously for the ICE topic and I've added some also for the login screen. Let me know what do you think. The image is too big to upload so I'll share the direct link
https://www.figma.com/file/qmsxA1Ep7YPxAXHX9ELkcc/ICE-LockScreen-Design?node-id=491%3A1

WOW! This is really good!
Would be really cool having that in later updates!

@aarontheissueguy said in Login screen/Code input Design:

Ive started working on a dummy for such a design in QML it will be done tomorrow. With the dummy we will be able to feel it in our hands and adjust things before someone actually starts making something

Okay. Will be glad to know how is that going. Best of luck!

@aarontheissueguy I feel so bad... Unfortunately I don't have any ideas how to do that.
But I'll keep learning new stuff...

This looks great!

Thank you!

If I may add, the sim unlock screen is actually the old design of the lock screen

I think so.

As already mentioned, the current design is better for convergence and it's easier to use as well since the keypad is at the bottom.

I guess editing the passphrase bar is enough to get the same look the mockup has. The only one problem is the blur.

@keneda No, it's a mockup. Ok I'll make it same.

I think you should put the user in the same distance from left as the pin keyboard (1st picture).

Well, I have tried to do that and it didn't look good,

So I think the user icon should be centered everywhere:
