Google I've already been warning you and it has finally done so. And it is that the arrival of its new operating system, Android L, is imminent, and with it a new design that will guide the stylistic lines of its different services andapplications In fact, Google has already taken care of Material Design, which is what this new style is called, to applications like Google+, Google Play Newsstand and even to some sections of its app store Google Play StoreHowever, it is now when this digital content store is completely renewed to adapt to this style.
This is how the latest version of Google Play has been presented, bringing important visual changes to its updating Details that do not change its operation one iota or organization, which remains the same as in previous versions. But you can see the line of style and design in which Google is working for the new generation of terminals Android Material Design is here to stay at Google Play Store.
As leaked in test builds floating around Internet, Google has chosen to modify the colors of its top bar, as well as of the different sections of contents.Games, apps, books, movies, music, and magazines now feature stronger, more intense flat colors Colors that can be seen not only in the icons on the main screen, but also through the different sections. This is where another novelty can be seen, finding that the upper bar that shows which section the user is in, now looks the same color for the tabs of the different categoriesIn addition, you can see how when you scroll down to focus on the contents, onlythe top bar of the main section hides to leave more space on the screen .
The drop down menu on the left side of the screen has also changed. Its layout hasn't changed, but now it has small icons and a different font Something that can help new users to move more quickly. Also notable is the new animation when displaying it.Something that modifies both the menu icon located in the upper left corner of the screen (it transforms from three lines to an arrow), as well as the way to do your appearance. Much more fluent and continuous
We must also mention a minimal but highly important stylistic novelty. This is the highlighted in the What's New section In this way, the user can find what's new in an update thanks to the fact that now appears underlined in green A faster and more convenient way to find what's new on the download page of an application or game.
Closing the news other interesting details such as the icons (sections and notifications), which have been renewed to look flatter but modern and updatedIcons among which is that of the application itself, which is now represented by a bag with a square and flat handle A simpler typography has also been chosen and clear, plus a richer color to make it easy to read against contrast.
The point negative is that, although this version 5.0 of Google Play Store has already been launched, it seems that we will still have to wait a little longer for it to reach Spain A matter of days, since, as usual, Google launches its news gradually gradually
