*****************************

APPS WITH BEAUTYFUL USERINTERFACE

*****************************

I assune u read the 3rd part of tasker tutorials which is about scenes

Link is on top

For making apps with beautyful interface u need to create tasks which enables tasker scenes

I will use metrostation icon pack and some local media files

I will show you how to add different types of elements with different ui

*****************************

PREPRATION FOR UI

****************************

First of all keep the structure of your app in mind, thus u can easily find the images and icons as per your need.u need to find suitable images for background, suitable icons for buttons,

Sometimes u may need a bit of photoshop to get brillian userinterface

U can take inspiration from several apps out there, mycolorscreen.com,icondatabase.net

Few examples of user interface

Below are homescreens from mycolorscreens.com

M showing just for demo

Get your icons ,images and background images ready before begining

*****************************

ADDING BACKROUND

*****************************

open tasker

Go to scene

Press + button

Give your scene a relative name

I have given name background

Now something like this will apear

On the right bottom corner u will find a magnifying glass icon, it will toogle your scene in edit/preview mod

Resize your scene

Now u can see

Ok cancel + and a teddy icon

No need to say about ok and cancel

+ icon is for adding eliments

And teddy will toogle your select mod in normal, move and resize

Now press the menu button and choose background colour

U will see a colourbox and a slider

The slider is for transperency level

Left side is full transperent

Right side is 0 transperency

If u choose full transperent your background will be complete transperent like this

U can also add images in the background instead colours

For adding image in background

Press + icon

And choose image

Name it anything relative

M naming it background

Below text edit box u will see multicoloured card icon

Press it to choose your image

The + and - buttons are for image transperency

****************************

ADDING BUTTONS

****************************

************************

WHAT MORE

*************************

u can also add more scenes in one single app

More buttons triggering more scenes and actions

U can use your first scene as app home

And several other scenes as menu

U can also make swipe support to your apps

Like this friendcaster app

Create 5 to 6 scenes

And add the blue indicator below every scene name title

And add your action in stroke menu

Either swipe updown

Swipe left right or any

And in action choose show scene action

Example

In info screen there will be an image with the indicator under info text and in sroke action it will show wall scene

Where wall scene will have same image with blue indicator under wall text

Swiping from wall scene will show

Photos scene

Swipping from photos scene will show members scene

U will have to add 2 strokes in each scene one for left to right to show next scene

And one for right to left to show previous scene
