Designers! I need your help/input — iOS Dash Wallet

[nmarley]

I'm a developer looking into the iOS Dash Wallet, and noticed that the colour schemes just aren't working at all. I can't really see the address text very well on one of the main screens, and really can't read it at all on the receive screen, like below. (Do you see the Dash address underneath the QR code? Yeah, I don't either.)

Here's the other screen with a similar colours conflict:

Now I'm no designer at all, but I think that the issue here is called 'contrast', and what we need is to fix up the colour scheme so that the colours don't clash/blend together so much. And while keeping within the recommended Dash branding colours as much as possible.

Maybe a light grey background with darker text/logo? That's just an idea I had.

I we have some really good designers out there in the community (*cough* @TheDashGuy, *cough*), and I'm wondering if any of you guys and gals could offer some input as to what could be done to make these screens a little easier on the eyes. Any input or designs off the top of your heads?

As a temporary decision - we may use white font for addresses.

As a redesign - yes, IMO common corporate style:
grey background + blue for information may be great.

@darkwing designed this version and is working on a 'light' one that fits the current corporate identity

Its great you are working on this @nmarley!!! I hope you succeed getting this app approved by Apple before Dash Evolution arrives.

I just don't see myself ditching my iPhone to get a Dash wallet. I know there's a way around this, but most common users will never be able to set up a wallet on an iPhone without an approved app.

Can do. Hit me on slack. Starting to lean more on freelancing instead of full-time gig, as I despise the employer, so I should have time to get my "dash to-do list" completed. Currently juggling like 4-5 projects but I think I can manage some UI updates for you guys as long as you can translate a PSD or HTML/CSS into iOS code for me

Thanks. To be honest, it's not my app, I'm just trying to help out with it. But I'm looking forward to having solid, functional (and interoperable) Dash wallet app on the App Store, if we can get the bugs and kinks ironed out.

Awesome, sounds good. I'll contact you over there. There's not really any iOS "code" for the background, it's just some .png images really. Actually, the images are here: http://imgur.com/a/cFVhd

Thanks!

Might I suggest some font and background colors for some specific screens too?

There is already an update brewing in line with the look and feel of all the other wallets

Yes, please do.

That's great! Do you know if it's on Github or somewhere public that we can see?

 

[salmion]

No not yet. It'll just be an alignment with all the others.

Could do with more polish but at least in line with everything else.

 

[nmarley]

Wow, that's a lot easier to see. Much better. Thanks for sharing, glad to see you have something in the works.

Scroll down on this link and it will show the before/afters. Basically a mostly white BG instead of the dark blue, which made it hard to see.

Looks like it's not only DASH wallets being rejected by Apple. Ethereum has no luck either. Check out the article.

Is Apple Banning Ethereum Wallets on iOS?

It would be great if we could get listed on Jaxx. I just downloaded it a couple days ago and it's a great app. We could submit a proposal to pay for integration if development costs are the reason that we are not on there?
