Google Play starts updating to show the Material Design style
If a week ago they began to leak images of the design changes that Google was preparing for its store of applications and digital content, today the first user versions of Google Play begin to be received with the styleMaterial Design A change that little by little will renew the appearance of the services and applications of this company preparing for Android L , the new version of its operating system for mobiles and tablets
Thus, many users from different parts of the globe are beginning to enjoy the new lines of what Google has come to callMaterial Design A style that opts for an even more exaggerated minimalism, but with a different concept to what has been seen so far. And the idea is to give a third dimension to the pixel, creating all kinds of layers that move and interact to create dynamism but without losing clarity by focusing on the basics. All this translated into practice means having layers that move and snap when you switch between menus, new layouts of buttons and icons, bright colors and removal of superfluous elements such as lines and boxes.
According to users who have received the update of Google Play, this version reaches number 4 .9.13 A new version as a transition of what is to come. In this way it changes several of its screens and menus, but without completely adapting the philosophy Material Design And it is that its operation remains the same, showing an initial screen practically identical as seen to date. However, things change quite a bit when accessing the detail page of a specific content.
Thus, when entering the page of an application, book, movie or game, the usual elements change their position and even their shape and size. A good example is that now content that has a demo video on your profile page is no longer displayed next to the images, but instead is placed at the bottom top of the screen to see it at first. Something like the profile picture. Also, the application icon is now not as big as in previous versions, fitting in with the rest of the page content.
Other changes is the repositioning of elements. Something that has affected from the top bar of this screen where the icon for search, add to wish list or share, to the bottom with statistics and comments from other users. In this regard, the new icons that are presented before the content description stand out. Some images that show in a large size the evaluation of the users, the category to which they belong, the contacts of Google+ who have given +1 (I like ) or the option to access similar content.
The description itself is now displayed as a card that expands pushing aside the rest of the elements on the screen (typical dynamism of Material Design ) and without being left justified text. The images have been placed just below, and not above as was the case in previous versions.Further down, after the detailed comments, buttons like share, rate+1 are displayed.or add to wish list
This new version will soon be available to all Android users progressive For now, users in Spain will have to wait several days until automatically receive this version 4.9.13 from Google Play
