As smartphone platforms go, Windows Phone definitely
makes a case for being one of the most visually accessible around. From
the clean look of the home screen, to Metro design elements, it’s
usually very easy to see and understand what you’re working with. In an
effort to make a good thing even better, Microsoft created a new high
contrast mode for Windows Phone 8,
making UI elements stand out even more. As we wait for the new platform
to arrive, some early shots of that high contrast mode in action have
arrived, showing-off how it looks on the HTC 8S.
By going black and white, and downplaying background elements, high
contrast mode really makes things “pop” on screen. Even if your vision’s
fine, you might appreciate the mode for how easy it makes to read
things at a glance, or just as a more reserved alternative to the bright
and colorful motif Microsoft’s been pushing for WP8. Controls for
activating the mode are included in the phone’s ease-of-access settings.
What do you think? Will you be giving high contrast mode a look once you pick up a new WP8 phone?
