This is a compilation of various UI screen mockups. Some have been presented before but are reintroduced to allow quick comparisons.

Two screens are presented here - the Main Screen, and the Activated Screen:

  • Main Screen: the screen after a page has completely loaded.
  • Activated Screen - the Main screen with a menu activated that allows additional operations.

Main Screen

Clean

For those that prefer a clean interface, this is the ultimate in clean! There is not a single UI artifact that distracts the user from his/her browsing.

Touch operations:

  • Drag to scroll
  • Long tap to activate zoom
  • Flick left to navigate back
  • Tap any inactive area to activate the menu

The menu can be also activated by pressing any key; even touch screen phones have at least 1-2 keys!

This design is suitable for both square and rectangular screens.


Minimal

TSUI5-Main-Minimal.png

Like the clean interface above, but want a title and security indicator? The Minimal interface offers just a title bar that displays the page title and security indicator.

Touch operations:

  • Drag to scroll
  • Long tap to activate zoom
  • Flick left to navigate back
  • Tap the title bar to activate the menu.

This design is suitable for both square and rectangular screens.


TSUI5-Main-Logo.png

This full screen interface features a "floating" Firefox logo. The drop shadow should ensure that the logo is visible even on top of busy web pages.

Touch operations:

  • Drag to scroll
  • Long tap to activate zoom
  • Flick left to navigate back
  • Tap the logo to activate the menu

This design is suitable for both square and rectangular screens.


TSUI5-Main-HalfLogo.png

A clean screen with a half-visible firefox logo at the bottom of the screen.

Touch operations:

  • Drag to scroll
  • Long tap to activate zoom
  • Flick left to navigate back
  • Tap the logo to activate the menu

This design is suitable for both square and rectangular screens.


TSUI5-Main-QuarterLogo.png

Similar to the previous idea with a quarter logo at the bottom right of the screen.

Touch operations:

  • Drag to scroll
  • Long tap to activate zoom
  • Flick left to navigate back
  • Tap the logo to activate the menu

This design is suitable for both square and rectangular screens.


Traditional

TSUI5-Main-Traditional.png

A traditional mobile browser UI with a twist; dragging the menu bar left or right slides it revealing other commands.

Touch operations:

  • Drag to scroll
  • Long tap to activate zoom
  • Flick left to navigate back
  • Tap any icon on the menu bar to invoke a command
  • Drag the menu bar left/right for additional commands
  • Tap the title bar to show/hide the URL bar

This design is best suited for rectangular screens. For square screens the always-on menu bar will reduce the screen estate for the web page.


Activated Screen

Slideable Menu

TSUI5-Activated-SlideableMenu.png

This design has the title bar and URL bar at the top, with a slideable menu bar at the bottom. For WQVGA (240x400) and WVGA (480x800) screens, the menu bar can display up to 5 icons in portrait mode, and 8 icons in landscape mode.

Dragging the menu bar left/right will slide the menu and display other icons.
