Cascades Development

[pixle]

Hi,

It's not exactly for developers but I can't find better section on BB Forum.

Here is Photoshop PSD file with all UI controls of upcoming BB10. Recreated 100% in vector.

I hope that this will be useful for all UI designers.

Download from here.

That's awesome! thanks a lot for the PSD! this will be great for mocking up designs... ;-)

Awesome! Thanks a lot. Would it be possible for you to provide SVGs as well? That could help me theming the Symbian Qt Components for BB10.

[pixle]

Hmm, you have own Symbian Qt components and now you want to customize their appearance to the native BB10 controls?

[connyhald]

I'm using the default Symbian Components, but I would like to try to give them a look and feel that is closer to Cascades. A bit more info here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Native-Development/qt-components-for-BB10/td-p/1798349

You can use nine-slice scaling for SVG?

It is possible to use 9-slices in QML, but the Symbian Components exclusivly use SVG so it would be much easier.

I though you might have vector images, because you wrote "Recreated 100% in vector.". But maybe this is just a missunderstanding?! If so, don't worry, I'll check if I can use bitmaps as well.

[pixle]

100% in vector but in Photoshop. You can use bitmap files because here is only one resolution.

[connyhald]

Ok, thanks. I'll check if I can change the code to work with bitmaps.

I would be remiss if I didn't point out my own project for recreating the Cascades UI controls in pure QML.

Anyway, thanks for the PSD, it'll prove useful while I work on my implementation. connyhald, maybe you could help me out?
