Personalization
In addition to the system's preset app icon pattern styles, other visual app icons are also provided for users who prefer different styles.
Style of Materials : The appearance and feel are closer to the real object shape.
Style of Peddles : This is a classic OPPO App Icon style. Visually abstract images into lines and color blocks.
Monochrome App Icon : Based on the new feature "color picker" of the Android T version, a matching App Icon design is developed.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
ColorOS 13 is praised for its refined, international visual design, most reviews view the Aquamorphic design as an incremental upgrade rather than a groundbreaking innovation.
OS Design Launguage
The design style is refreshing and modern, evident throughout the user interface.
Visual design innovation
The improved contrast of the illustrations helps users with poor eyesight identify them. Some illustration designs have also been adjusted, which is a thoughtful improvement.
Operation & Experience Design
The user behavior prediction function performs exceptionally well. The depth of customization is quite high.
ColorOS 13 is the first integrated operating system released after the merger of OPPO and OnePlus. After finalizing the visual language, we encountered many difficulties regarding technology, time, and the integration of the two systems.
The visual language of ColorOS 13 serves as a foundation. What we did not achieve in this version, or what we accomplished well, will be implemented in subsequent versions.
