We’re really excited about the upcoming changes as they’re a big step forward in delivering on the Flow user experience, giving FxOS users seamless access to their content.<br><br>The highlights of the planned changes are included in a presentation posted here:<br><br><a href="https://mozilla.box.com/flow-UX-update">https://mozilla.box.com/flow-UX-update</a><br><br>To summarize, the changes include:<br><br><b>System Browser and Universal Search</b><div><ul><li>Browser and search are available from anywhere on the device simply by tapping on the status bar search field</li><li>Search results include web search, favourites, browsing history (new), applications, <a href="http://e.me/">e.me</a> and Marketplace results</li><li>Bookmarks now appear on the home screen instead of in the browser</li><li>Although the browser is accessible from anywhere, there will be a browser link on the home screen that launches a new start page with top sites and history</li></ul><br><b>Task Switcher</b><br><div><ul><li>With the introduction of the System Browser, the Task Switcher is also used to manage browser windows</li><li>The Task Switcher is visually refreshed and, instead of a carousel, now has a continuously horizontal scrolling UI</li><li>Task Switcher is accessed via a long tap of the home button</li><li>While on the home screen, the Task Switcher can also be accessed via a single tap of the home button. This improves accessibility to windows management features. Flywheel scrolling allows the user to access to the top of the home screen within a few quick flicks.</li></ul></div><br><b>Utility Tray</b><br><div><ul><li>The Utility Tray continues to be accessed from the top of the display as per 2.0</li><li>The visual design is updated and a new transition to allows users to peek at the most recent notifications</li></ul></div><br><b>Status Bar</b></div><div><div><ul><li>Status bar colour is customized to match app headers</li><li>Status bar indicator icons are prioritized to make better use of available space</li></ul></div><br><b>Edge Gesture / Sheets Transitions</b></div><div><br></div><div><ul class="MailOutline"><li>When using edge gestures to switch between apps, the Status Bar now moves with the sheet to accommodate multiple Status Bar states and orientations.</li></ul></div><div><br><b>Soft Home Button Support<br></b><div><ul><li>The soft home button has been enhanced to provide an alternative to a physical home button.</li><li>The home button bar supports landscape orientations and can be hidden during full screen video playback.</li></ul></div><br>For more details, a list of SFE UI and visual specs has been posted to this etherpad - <a href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/SFE-Spec-Locations">https://etherpad.mozilla.org/SFE-Spec-Locations</a>. Additional specs are available in the <a href="https://mozilla.app.box.com/files/0/f/1759289051">box.com 2.1 UI spec folders</a>. While the specs are in a stable state and have been reviewed by engineering for scope, based on implementations during the 2.1 sprints, there may be minor changes made along the way. <br><br><br><b>Feedback</b><br><br>The UX team welcomes your feedback on the proposed changes. To gather your feedback we’ve created an etherpad at <a href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/ux-2-1-feedback">https://etherpad.mozilla.org/ux-2-1-feedback</a>. The UX team will post any responses and comments to the pad.<br><br>On behalf of the team, thanks and we look forward to your comments!<br><br>Best regards,<br>Rob</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>dev-gaia mailing list<br><a href="mailto:dev-gaia@lists.mozilla.org">dev-gaia@lists.mozilla.org</a><br>https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-gaia<br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
