UI Concept - How a N9 user would have liked Sailfish to be like
 

I created an UI Concept for fun. It's a mix between Nokia's Meego Harmattan Swipe UI and Jolla's Sailfish UI.

Unfortunately no streaming platform seems to support 60FPS, so I suggest downloading via Dropbox.

I love it!!! If it has the same notification system as Harmattan too.. Oh that would be a dream come true...

Also, it would be awesome to borrow the same top bar (where the clock, signal status.. Etc) concept from Ubuntu Mobile.. (with only a long press), a short press would trigger the same drop down menu from Harmattan.

Also the main menu's icons are not so great, but that's easy to change.. But it brings up a question to my head, in ur concept, does allow for an easy theme change? Or is it like Sailfish with their "ambiance" change..

BB10 or Harmattan Status bar wouldn't work that well together with pulley menus.

Themeing would follow Jolla's ambiance idea.

Sure those icons there are not the best looking ones, as they were chosen to proof this idea I had: Thoughts about Icon templates for new OS like Nemo or Sailfish

great concept and video!

i also thought a harmattanesque event screen would be very nice to have on a jolla phone.
in your concept, did you think about interacting with apps in multitasking view like in sailfish?

Re: UI Concept - How a N9 user would have liked Sailfish to be like
 

Yes, but with small buttons in the Tiles instead of gestures.

Gestures could work too, if you lock carousel rotation of homescreens as soon as you touch a tile, but that could be too much unintuitive.

Unfortunately it is not like this. I dont know why and probably I am the only one, but Sailfish looks very complex and disorganized. Just swiping anywhere everywhere cannot make an OS. There is no articulation of thought and design :(

Re: UI Concept - How a N9 user would have liked Sailfish to be like
 

Its still in its preliminary stages. Will be improved upon for sure. I think Ubuntu Phone is the better OS of the 2.

Well, if and when Sailfish will publish their UI you can as well tweak it the way you want :)

Re: UI Concept - How a N9 user would have liked Sailfish to be like
 

That's not going to be the case. Remember how "open" the N9 was and yet the UI was closed?

It'll invariably be the same thing for Jolla and their upcoming UI. "As open as we can make it" might refer only to the MeeGo parts, not the Jolla UI specific parts.

This is what i want :) best way for all. Only the icons... maybewithout the whire background... and all is fine :)
