Theme Example #41

Closed JohnnyKITT closed 2 years ago

JohnnyKITT commented 5 years ago

This is related to the Theme UI switching item in Projects. i'm kinda new to Git, so i'm just dropping this here. i threw together an idea, but wanted to pitch it before i go too far down the rabbit hole. How does everyone feel about this direction for a theme?

I like the icons, not sure about the background and how the active element is being highlighted. What license the icons come with?

JohnnyKITT commented 5 years ago

i haven't dug into the code to see how you guys wired everything, i just put together the idea in Photoshop.

Google also has a number of nice icons that could be used, include a Navigation one if we can't use the Android Auto icon for some reason. https://material.io/tools/icons/?style=baseline

The “Android Auto app” launcher icon should only be used in the context of a UI screen, or in marketing collateral promoting or referring explicitly to the Android Auto app on mobile devices. https://partnermarketinghub.withgoogle.com/#/brands/1fSUpZEKQJQHg77aw5ppyKX5lpFR4bOeX/1TIgcW9AH3Z7z15s9bXBHxIotiTQdFasbT29g0m7-tsQ

@JohnnyKITT Yes, this is the reason I haven't used the Android Auto icon and used the droid instead.

I have updated the backgrounds with a folder of images that can be found here : https://github.com/viktorgino/headunit-gui/tree/master/qml/theme/backgrounds but the background could be anything as it can be changed the from the gui. I think its a good idea to pick an image with darker colors and one with brighter colors and create visuals for the menu using these images instead.

I like the icons in general and its a good idea to update the menu bar with something a bit more slick looking once we find something that looks good, happy to brainstrom about possible ideas.

Why didn't you want to use the AA icon? It seems to fit exactly what is allowed, "in the context of a UI screen... referring explicitly to the Android Auto app on mobile devices."

JohnnyKITT commented 5 years ago

They also very clearly state "DON’T. Don’t use the Android Robot." in reference to associating the robot with Android Auto.

viktorgino commented 5 years ago

the "Android Auto app on mobile devices" seems very ambiguous, but having read the page again its clear that they dont want to use the robot for AA, so we can go with the app logo
