Mike Nagle (mikenagle) wrote : Re: [Dash] apps that are being downloaded/installed are not shown differently from un-installed apps

Following an email conversation between design and devs, we agreed that the app installation progress will be reflected in 3 places (the first of which is particularly pertinent to this bug):

1) APP ARTWORK (ie icon)
Artwork is filled with transparent overlay
Overlay gradually reduced creating a emptying effect where the app icon is gradually revealed
Effect pauses at 80% empty once downloading is completed. Remaining 20% takes place during installation

Please note that during downloading / installation the app icon appears in the launcher AND on the apps scope. The latest designs of the app scope only show installed apps not available apps so the problem in this bug is partly resolved by that.

2) CARD HEADER (eg in Store)
Attribute changes as installation progresses:
i) FREE/£0.99
ii) Downloading
iii) Installing
iv) Installed

Note - a purchased but not installed app is marked as Purchased

3) BUTTON (on preview)
Button label and background changes as installation progresses:
i) Label: Install | Background: Solid button colour
ii) Label: Downloading… | Background: Background acts as progress bar, filling up as downloading progresses
iii) Label: Installing | Background: Solid colour plus spinner to side of label
iv) Label: Open | Background: Solid colour.
