Simplicity by design
Friday, May 29th, 2009
When we designed the Libox user interface we focused on simplicity, functionality and minimalism.
Libox is composed of three main activities, Navigating Media, Playing Media and Sharing. In each activity the majority of the interface is dedicated to that activity. For example when you view media you don’t have to press the “full screen” button because the media is given most of the screen real estate anyway. Same goes for any other activity, in search most of the screen is occupied by the search results.
The buttons on top also dynamically change depending on what you’re doing right now, this way we don’t have to waste space on irrelevant buttons. For example when navigating media you see relevant set of buttons and when you select media the buttons change to allow you to perform actions on selected media.
User interface is very important to us, so if you think we can improve please send us feedback.
