The style +specifies the visual properties of the elements that make up your user interface, such as color, +height, padding and font size. To promote greater cohesion between all apps on the platform, Android +provides three system themes that you can choose from when building apps for Ice Cream Sandwich:</p> +<ul> +<li>Holo Light</li> +<li>Holo Dark</li> +<li>Holo Light with dark action bars</li> +</ul> +<p>Applying these themes will go a long way in helping you to build apps that fit right into the +general visual language of Android.</p> +<p>Pick the system theme that best matches the needs and design aesthetics for your app. If your +desire is to have a more distinct look for your app, using one of the system themes as a starting +point for your customizations is a good idea. The system themes provide a solid foundation on top +of which you can selectively implement your own visual stylings.</p> + + </div> +</div> |
