Could be just poor implementation for those apps of material design - which you'd hope is fundamentally good at heart.
It does seem fairly casual. Even the Google designers in the video weren't unified in a definition, so it sounds open and unconstrained. Although I wouldn't put it past Google to hide an on-brand agenda right there in the colour theories. One thing I'd move away from is the obsession/requirement of bright colours. Muted earthy colours would work well too in the right combinations for maximum emotional effect on unsuspecting visitors!
- mattmanser 11y agoNot really, like mentioned elsewhere in the thread the add button in the bottom right is supposed to be a menu instead of an action. That means in Material there is no way to do the most common actions if you use that as designed. Like the mail app I am using at the moment has made that button both "reply" and "fwd" when you're in an email, which is frustrating as hell when 95% of the time I want to reply. But if they just made it reply, where do they put fwd?
- voyou 11y ago"the add button in the bottom right is supposed to be a menu instead of an action." Not according to Google's Material Design "spec", it isn't: "A floating action button represents the primary action in an application." (http://www.google.com/design/spec/components/buttons-floating-action-button.html#buttons-floating-action-button-floating-action-button http://www.google.com/design/spec/components/buttons-floatin...) Additional actions should go on the action bar.
