Will color to Glyphs be a good addition?

It could add to the functionality, in ways like using different hues for different notifications/priorities. Maintaining the simplistic aesthetic, however,...

What I actually want is the glyph to synch with the music and the visualisation to play accordingly.

ShahanxD

Ajushp_snath Right, best to fully bake the existing stuff and then move on to additions.

Ajushp_snath I assume you have done this:

Open the contacts app on your phone and save the exact contact name as “Abra” (Phone 1) or “Alakazam.” (Phone 2)
Then go to Settings > Glyph Interface > Ringtones.
Tap on ‘Add a contact’ and set a ringtone for Abra/Alakazam contact.
Then make sure to save it with any ringtone for Abra/Alakazam contact.
Go back to Glyph Interface settings, you will see the Music Visualisation option.
Now simply tap on the toggle to use it.

ShahanxD definitely it would be a good addition…we can put light pn particular contact as in essential gluph

ShahanxD

TejasMaisuriya yup. The feature will definitely need some work on the software side as well. Would like to see this in function.

I´m exactly with you on that. Being able to make the glyphs shine in different colours, possibly also individually, provides new possibilities. As a friend of simplicity, I think that the NOTHING phones are quite playful (colorful, flashing glyphs) yet. Hence I’m not convinced that more complexity would be beneficial to the user experience.

ShahanxD

[deleted] interesting! I somewhat agree. Will have to see how the Nothing team views this.

ShahanxD you can buy different color films available for nothing 2a glyphs on amazon and flipkart

[deleted]

ghumnewala Haven´t seen such thus far. And can´t find it. Would you mind referring to how these products are named / advertised by?

ShahanxD

ghumnewala yes. But they won’t help with conveying more info, since we’ll be stuck with 1 color, similar to what we have now.

RGB colours will be good if added. But it kind of reduces the uniqueness of nothing phones

ShahanxD

akeletamarakuro111 by uniqueness I believe you mean the clean aesthetic and simplicity? Yes, that’s pretty much the only challenge that’s stopping this feature right now

ShahanxD definitely think it would be a great idea being able to have different colours to identify missed calls urgent notifications etc

ShahanxD

chrisdorkins9 yup

JasonTysoe

Yeah it’d be great to set a glyph colour to a certain app, green glyph for WhatsApp etc

ShahanxD

JasonTysoe yes, color-classification would be easier for our minds to process

ShahanxD i think it will not be good looking. But, having RGB light in essential notification LED strip would be more useful

ShahanxD

HOWARDNIKHIL_TechWizard_ exactly my thoughts

Hello. Do not be tired for your pure ideas. I think Hello. Do not be tired for your pure ideas. In my opinion, use the main color white, but an application should be designed to fully customize the glyphs with various colors. Thankful.

ShahanxD

MPMMS that’s a good idea. This will maintain the phone’s aesthetics while providing access to the feature for those who wanna try it.
