My BB10 PlayBook UI concept
Hello CrackBerry Community!
In this topic i'm going to show a concept(READ CAREFULLY, IT'S NOT THE OFFICIAL VERSION, IT'S A CONCEPT) of the PlayBook UI using the BB10 OS.
Why did i created that?
The Z10 UI is obviously designed for be operated easily with one thumb, but why the PlayBook should maintain the same UI since is designed to be used with both hands?
That's why i created this concept.
Which elements i used for develop this concept?
I followed the UI guidelines and typography suggestions on the BB10 developers site, that can be found here: https://developer.blackberry.com/dev...ypography.html
Also i used the suggestions on the PlayBook UI guidelines, that says basically: Big icons for fitting in the fingers without difficult & elements with a good distance between they.
The UI it's made to be very similar to the actual PlayBook UI.
What's the main objetive of this UI?
Being simple and fast and it's designed to be operated easily by any person with any needs.

Ok, here's what i made:

Here's the Voice Control, but why he is there?
Simple: What's the objetive of creating a separated windows for the voice control since you have all your fingers for doing an fast job?
The voice control objetive is being fast, so, an separated windows would just slow down the process, that's why he is there.
(It have an separated window too, like the Z10, that icon is just a shortcut)
(That icon would appear only pressing the hardware button)
And here's the UI information:

My BB10 PlayBook UI concept
Looks great and I like that you left out the active frames. I like my PLAYBOOK much better with as many apps as I want open and running available in showcase mode of course.
This is something I thought of honestly and I'm glad you didn't go with active frames which IMO would be a step back for the PLAYBOOK. Think about it. You go from the app or websites being open and running entirely to active frames which is the app or site "sleeping" with a tad of info available.

Re: My BB10 PlayBook UI concept
Some good thoughts here. I suggest that when the HUB active frames are in use that the baseline command strip disappear. It could either be summoned by a swipe or a button on active frames. Swipes could still work to select or disable the active frame. The look might even be similar to windows 8 but please not too close. Also the baseline has room to install a messages button and possibly user selected buttons. I wonder how far along the BB people are with the design?
