Introduction and Summary

This is a cloud based personal data storage app. It offers a really nice GUI that uses lots of prebuilt QML elements, mixed with customized ones. To make sure your data won't leak anywhere, the app only transfers and reveives the data encoded (multiple times, multiple methods)

This page is created to introduce the user interface the app, to 1) show my tricks and solutions to others, and 2) to clarify things or answer possible questions in the Qt Quick competition.

Main Screen

The screen uses a slowly fading cloudy background, because it's a nice background and, obvious for the cloud-based services. The login and password buttons are having a small animation. The first time someone opens the app and fills in that information, can register there. An easy-to-fill webpage somes in an embedded WebView that I tried to design as they were QML Components. After the registering, the system keeps the entered data, so the users can log in directly. A fancy loading indicator is fading in and out, with 3 circles rotating in different directions. After signing in, the app downloads and decrypts the entries from the cloud, then shows them in a two-columned list.

Controls on the main screen

On the top of the screen, just below the statusbar, there is a button row with three buttons, without text, only icons: refres (obvious), quicksearch (animates a text-field out that filters the entries), and new entry (Opens up a new layer on the top of everything, slightly fades out the things behind it) The toolbar remains simple in this app, (it would be too much t put everything in it) so it only offers an exit button and a help button that opens another page (using PageStack). On that page, the toolbar chanes: the help button disappears and the exit button becomes a back butto.
