Pages

Pages are where content is presented. A page consists of a header and body. The header consists of the title, and the body contains other elements of a page. At any given time, an app shows either a whole or part of a page.

A page consists of a header and a body.

Elements

  • Header

    The header includes the page title, which should be text-only without icons. Titles that are longer than the space provided slide in and fade out at the right edge of the screen. For a list page, you can also include action buttons in the header.

  • Body

    The body of a page contains content including the main content, images, buttons, or text.

    • Text content

      Text content should have margins on either side. Without these, it’s hard to read the text on a round display. When the text doesn't fit on one screen, the page scrolls vertically so users can see the full text. Refer to Scroll bar for more details.

    • Image content

      Display one thumbnail image at a time on a single page. Images on each page should be identical in size. Users rotate the bezel or swipe the screen to move between pages.

      Thumbnails are used to provide a series of images successively

    • Thumbnail

      Thumbnails can be presented with a title or subtext. Usually you should place the title below each image, but place the title above the image if the page has a bottom button . Titles that don’t fit slide in and fade out at the right-hand edge of the screen. Access to More options is not available.

Behavior

  • Scroll

    Pages scroll when the text doeesn’t fit on one screen. Generally, pages scroll vertically to display long text content, and scroll horizontally to present a set of images one-by-one.

  • Multiple pages

    Multiple pages at the same navigational level can be shown in a series. In this case, provide page indicators so users know where they are in the series.

  • Select mode

    Users can touch and hold an image to begin selecting multiple images for a particular action.
