IOS 7, gradients, and usability
- planetjones 13y ago>> Many lines, no gradients, light shadows on the slider handles. What is interactive? What’s not? Disclaimer: I'm not a designer. But as a user, from the screenshot given I would expect: - downward arrow collapses it / maybe can slide from that point - circular buttons are enabled when highlighted in white - sliders drag left and right - rewind, play and fast forwards are clickable - rest of buttons (airdrop, airplay, safari and camera) do something e.g. launch an app Personally I'd say this flat design looks clear to me. I don't think yesterday's presentation was revolutionary (rather a catch up to Android) but as a user I do find some of the criticism harsh.
- bbx 13y agoYou're right. Maybe I wasn't clear in that paragraph but I was saying that the Control Center is probably the most usable element in iOS 7. The questions "What is interactive? What's not?" is probably what a user will ask himself the first time he launches it, but as I say further down "I guess such a heavily used feature as the Control Center will only require a few minutes to get accustomed to".
