"I love Open Source. It's a great way to develop software. But it has its weaknesses. One of the main weaknesses is consistency. Take a look at these Android apps. When you look at these applications for the Google backed smartphone OS, what you'll see is a complete lack of consistency in the look and feel of applications."
Opinion: Do Google Android Mobile Apps Lack Consistency? Apple iPhone vs Google Android - One of the main weaknesses of open source code is consistency http://wireless.sys-con.com/node/661509 This is a tough situation. Looks like we'll just use Themes. Then the details of those Themes are translated by the specific phones which would make them look a bit different on each phone. In Android.R.Style there's just Light, Black, Dialog, Translucent. (For the Widgets, consistency can just be solved by Best Practices.) The most important part of Look and Feel probably comes from the specific phone. Black vs. white, child's phone vs. elderly person's phone, etc. So the variables here are the Theme itself, the phone's interpretation of that Theme and the customization of the developer for that theme (which should be minimal I guess). But how do you know how much is Too Much customization? - Juan T. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
