Gingerbread UI Changes Technically Detailed
A recent video stealthily revealed the most clear vision of Gingerbread to date, and while we haven’t been graced with more details of exactly how the new stuff will look, a Google presentation on interface tips and tricks for the San Francisco Android User Group revealed some of the technical details going on behind the scenes that should translate to a much more appealing look for Android.
For starters, windows in Gingerbread will feature 32-bit color and individual transparency channels to handle smooth shading and gradients. The move to 32 bit will cut back on color banding and dithering, while additional tweaks will help with drawing, rendering, and animation. Now we just need the Google event where they actually unveil the new version of Android. That would be something.
