I say kudos if they can pull it off. Ignoring the possible meddling of the various device manufacturers, they have their work cut out for them.
I want to be optimistic here; it is just I've never seen such re-engineering done before for any OS.
- buster 16y agoUI redesign will most certainly take place on the homescreen, the launcher, the dialer, etc. In other words: in it's own seperate applications, this wouldn't conflict somewhere because it's done quite frequently. Android is themeable quite nicely, so even changing the standard dialogs from one style to another _should_ work. My own concern here is that some developers probably have written their own UI code and some custom hacks. But we'll see about that.
- eelco 16y agoUI is about how things work first, about styling second. Themes are not going to help you with the former.
- buster 16y agoCorrect. And i don't think they want to change how things work. The mechanisms how to operate android are fine. Or do you have an example what fundamental functionality should change?
