Android L would finally change its Material Design UI

Android-L

Launch the developer version of Android L It was a very important step for the OS ecosystem, although we probably won't see new builds until the final release of the version. However, a new error log in Chrome gives new clues to the guidelines that would accompany Material Design.

This new version of Android L for the Nexus 5, dated from the dayas of September 4 and with build number LRW66E, has been seen in the bug tracker of Chrome and although it is private, the image of the phone shows us several interesting curiosities, such as a Material Design redesign –There are several aspects changed with respect to the version preview that we can enjoy for a few months. Although nothing is official yet, the truth is that the changes are more than remarkable, especially after seeing some leaks of the Google applications that we can enjoy with this unified design.

In short, a new gmail icon in the notification bar, more stylized and with a very careful appearance, while in the menus we find the botones toggle (those that allow us to switch between two states, activated and deactivated, for example) somewhat shorter but wider. This is one of the big differences since the current guidelines for this type of switches in Android L and Material Design are very different from those that appear in this new compilation, especially in terms of operation.

Moreover, the Bluetooth function menu would be improved, adding icons for each of the linked and available devices to more easily differentiate what type they are (telephone, headphones, computer ...) and eliminating certain details that would "clean" the interface, such as the separator between the settings of each of the devices and their names. Also, it seems that the final version of Android L would allow make our device visible to others after opening the menu instead of having to press the visibility time button.

Finally, we can see how some new brushstrokes appear in what to the Wi-Fi and mobile signal icons are concerned, without internal lines to mark the levels. Curiously, the LMP reference in the buid, which would ultimately rule out the agreement between Google and Nestlé to baptize Android L as Lion as we pointed out yesterday.

And you, what do you think of these changes in Android L? Will they take the right path?
