UI tidy up #47

Open hmcc opened 9 years ago

Nice pictures in the background, maybe a more modern theme for newer clients that can support it, anything and everything to make it look good.

Partly what I was working on. Was planning to update the various fragments using translation matrices, possibly actually dropping Gingerbread so we don't have to write the compatibility methods for the animations and have ICS as a baseline.

A good codebase to look at for designs would be the Google I/O app, which has source code on Github.

Apologies for the two months off, not been great from a medical perspective, though now hopeful I can manage things more.

In summary, the main things that I think should be covered:

Layered imagery - a good example would be background aurorae for the numbers (possibly by time of day as a nice design aesthetic)? A consistent overview and feel from the UI. Anything froma design perspective should be resolved cleanly. Following Material Design where possible. A good example of this is the BBC news Articles that move the images at a different speed to the scrolling text, for instance, which is something we could do for the 24 hour view mentioned in #8). Transparent buttons and user fragments might be nice to look in to having (possibly Lollipop only, because we want to make sure we don't slow devices down too much).

Couple more, but they can wait.

I've added #50, #51, #52 and #53 for some of the more specific UI tasks, leaving this one mainly for "A consistent overview and feel from the UI.
