Windows 8 Design Principles
What are they?
Windows 8 Design Principles
• Do more with less
  – Content before chrome
• Pride in craftsmanship
  – Styling, layout, typography – The details matter
• Be fast and fluid
  – Design for touch with motion and ergonomics in mind
• Authentically digital
  – Remember that user is interacting with computerized device
• Win as one
  – Use contracts to work with other apps
That’s awful designer-like
What about us developer types?
Approach Your UI Differently
• Design for Touch
• Put Content Before Chrome
  – Full Screen Content
• Leverage Adaptive Layout
• Be Authentically Digital
  – Don’t try to mimic the real world
Design for Touch
Windows 8 Touch Language
• Design your app to be touch first




                   Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh464920.aspx
How Does Touch Change Things?
• Targets must be bigger




                 Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465415.aspx


• 40 x 40px – Recommended minimum size
  – IF a wrong touch can be fixed in 1-2 gestures or within 5 seconds
• 50 x 50px – Recommended for actions with severe consequences
  – Close, Delete
  – Requires 2 gestures, 5 seconds, or major context change to correct
What Doesn’t Work With Touch?
• Listbox and ComboBox
  – Don’t have a good form factor for touch UI
  – Still available, but their use is discouraged
Content Before Chrome
Content Before Chrome




       Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh868264.aspx
Content Before Chrome
• What is Chrome?
  – Chrome is anything that isn’t CONTENT
  – Chrome is clutter
• Drop the clutter
  – Focus on what is important
  – Let the rest fade away


• Example:
  – Commands don’t have to take up screen real estate
     • Get rid of menu bars
     • Swipe from edge for system commands
     • Swipe from bottom for your app commands in AppBar
Adaptive Layout
Adaptive Layout
• What is Adaptive Layout?
  – A layout that adapts to the available screen real estate




                        Source: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx
Adaptive Layout
[Demo]
Adaptive Layout
• Snap View
• GridView
• ListView
Snap View




            Source: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx
Snap View
• 320px Fixed Width
• Matches Height of Screen
• Allows for multitasking
GridView
• First thing you see with Start Screen
• Primary way to display data
• Scrolls Horizontally
• Uses Rows and Columns
• Can display grouped content
  – Using CollectionViewSource
GridView
[Demo]
ListView
• Exactly the same as GridView EXCEPT:
  – Scrolls Vertically
  – Uses Rows


• Works great for Snap View
ListView
[Demo]
Authentically Digital
Don’t try to mimic the real world
Semantic Zoom
• Lets user quickly navigate large amounts of data with touch gestures


• 2 Levels
  – Zoomed Out
     • The Forest
  – Zoomed In
     • The Trees
Semantic Zoom
[Demo]
FlipView
• ItemsControl to view a single item at a time from a collection
• Navigate between items with swipe gesture
• Good for a small number of items
FlipView
[Demo]
AppBar
More Content Before Chrome
AppBar
• Menu Bars are clutter
  – Not CONTENT
  – Commands aren’t needed constantly


• Only show when needed
  – Swipe from edge for system commands
  – Swipe from bottom for your app commands in AppBar
AppBar
[Demo]
Recap
• Design for Touch
• Utilize Content Before Chrome
  – Full Screen Content
• Leverage Adaptive Layout
• Be Authentically Digital
  – Don’t try to mimic the real world


• Developers can make good looking apps too
