Design - RDMLX

Post by kno_dk »

Hi

I have a few questions regarding the design/layout of an APP

1: when i have an input field and i get the keyboard on the screen i have "done" and "Next" (see attached image IMG_0022.PNG). is it possible to change this to some danish words instead?
2: I have a tabs menu at the buttom of the page (see attached image IMG_0023.PNG ). is it possible to have a better quality of the icons i use? what is the best size and color for this tab icons? Can i change the background color for tabs menu?

As shipped LongRange can present ‘end user’ visible words in English, French, Japanese, Czech and German. If you translate a text file for us to Danish then we can include that in the next scheduled submission to the App Store.

Q2: I have a tabs menu at the buttom of the page (see attached image IMG_0023.PNG ). Is it possible to have a better quality of the icons i use?
You can use whatever icons you like. Put them into your Longrange/Resource folder and then use them in your application just like any other icon. Do you have an icon library that you want to use in mind?

Q3: What is the best size and color for this tab icons?

24x24 to 28x28 is generally best.
iOS ignores the colour in icons when they are placed on toolbars/tabbars, so it’s best to follow Apple’s guidelines.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios ... Icons.html
A custom icon that you create for a toolbar, navigation bar, or tab bar is also known as a template image, because iOS uses it as a mask to produce the icon you see when your app runs. If you create a full-color template image, iOS ignores the color.
To design a custom bar icon, follow these guidelines:
• Use pure white with appropriate alpha transparency.
• Not include a drop shadow.
• Use antialiasing.
If you want to create a bar icon that looks like it's related to the iOS 7 icon family, use a very thin stroke to draw it. Specifically, a 2-pixel stroke (high resolution) works well for detailed icons and a 3-pixel stroke works well for less detailed icons.

Q4: Can i change the background color for tabs menu?
No.

Hi

Do you have a text file with the words I should translate?
