Change the look of web pages with Quick Actions
In the developer mode of Ulaa, there are several Quick Action tools designed to enhance the development experience and provide developers with helpful features. These tools are designed to improve efficiency and provide visual aids for UI design and development tasks.
Let's explore some of the notable quick action tools available in Ulaa's developer mode:
1. Dark Mode: Ulaa's Dark Mode tool allows developers to preview how their UI designs or applications would appear in this mode without actually implementing the feature. This helps developers ensure that their designs are compatible and visually appealing in both light and dark environments.
2. Blurred Vision: The Blurred Vision tool simulates a blurred effect on the user interface. You can preview how certain elements or backgrounds would appear when blurred. It can be particularly useful for assessing the visual hierarchy and readability of UI components when overlaid with blurred backgrounds.
3. Layered Borders: The Layered Borders tool provides a way to visualise the stacking order and depth of UI elements. By applying layered borders of different colors or patterns to individual elements, developers can easily identify how they are positioned relative to each other. This tool helps ensure proper layering and arrangement, especially in complex UI layouts with overlapping components.
4. Greyscale Filter: The Greyscale Filter tool allows developers to view their UI designs or applications in grayscale. This tool is helpful for assessing the visual contrast and readability of user interfaces, as well as identifying potential accessibility issues.
5. Intensify Filter:
The filter is used to adjust the brightness of an element on a web page to 100%. If a site that you visit is either brighter or dimmer, enabling the 'Filter intensify' will readjust the website to 100 percentage.
6. Sepia Filter: The Sepia Filter tool applies a warm, vintage tone to the user interface, giving it a nostalgic and aged appearance. This filter appears calming to the eye and add a touch of elegance or create a specific mood within the UI. It can be especially effective in applications or designs that aim for a vintage-inspired look.
7. Invert Filter: The filter allows developers to reverse the colors of the user interface. This means that elements that were originally light become dark, and vice versa. Inverting colors can offer a unique and dramatic visual effect, which can be useful for creating alternative UI themes or for designing interfaces that cater to specific user preferences or accessibility needs.
8. Reduced Contrast: The tool enables developers to reduce the contrast between various UI elements. By softening the contrast, developers can create a more subdued and harmonious visual experience. This can be beneficial in cases where high contrast may cause visual strain or for interfaces that prioritize a more subtle and cohesive design approach. Helpful for people with ocular sensitivity and to see how users who experience colour-blindness or blurred vision might see the site.
9. Fonts Monospace: The feature allows developers to apply a monospaced font to the UI. Monospaced fonts are characterized by each character occupying the same amount of horizontal space, offering a more uniform and structured appearance. This feature can be especially useful when designing interfaces that require alignment or when working with code snippets or programming-related content.
10. Insert jQuery CDN:
jQuery is a popular JavaScript library that provides a wide range of functions and utilities to simplify and enhance web development. It streamlines common tasks, such as DOM manipulation, event handling, AJAX requests, and animation, making it a valuable tool for developers.
These quick action tools aim to streamline the design and development process, providing developers with visual aids and previews of how their user interfaces would appear under specific conditions. Developers can create visually engaging, unique, and well-tailored user interfaces to meet specific design objectives and user preferences.
