Bian Xiao found many friends interested in the accessible touch interaction provided by the redesigned Chrome Forms control, and Bian Xiao compiled some related information to share here.

In the near future, Google will bring better accessibility, consistency, and usability through redesigned Chrome Forms controls. This is the latest report based on Google Chrome blog.

Most of the upcoming changes revolve around consistency. Google points out that from a design perspective, the native widget set in Chrome doesn't work well with each other right now. This makes it difficult for them to "detect." This change will eliminate this problem and provide a flat modern design. But overall, they also raise awareness.

First, Google eliminated gradients, added clearer borders, and added icons in some areas to make their use clearer. For the latter change, the company adds calendar and clock icons to the relevant fields.

When it comes to accessibility, Google's biggest tweaks focus on visibility. Google specifically points out changes in focus or selected objects (such as buttons and links) that are more pronounced. This is obviously useful for users who use keyboards or switches to browse the web.

Instead of instantiating a simple color for the selected outline, the company instantiates the focus ring in two shades. This means that the selected form, button, and object will display two colored circles at the same time. The inner ring is thick and black, and the outer ring is white and thin. The result is that the focus ring appears clearly on any colored background.

Google is still redesigning the color selector and adding full keyboard controls to the format. This means users will be able to interact with various aspects of the color selection tool using the keyboard.

It also attempts to include other alternative features, such as faster keyboard cursor movement (depending on the platform being used) centered on the "Ctrl" or command keys.

This change will also make Chrome forms touch better

In addition to the barrier-friendly use and redesign of the new keyboard, Google is taking further steps to make the touch-centric platform and users better able to use it. That is, it makes touch and click targets bigger. The main examples of the search giant's changes in this regard revolve around the date picker.

In that example, Google says it includes a better pop-up window so users can easily access the full calendar by entering dates. This is the opposite of relying on individual elements or typing, but the touch area itself is optimized here as well. Finally, Google has added support for sliding and inertia to element scrolling.

It is available now, but it cannot be used in its final form and will not be seen anywhere.

As Google points out, one of the main motivations behind the redesigned Chrome Forms controls is that these elements are currently inconsistent. As a result, many websites use custom designs for interactive forms to keep them simple and aesthetically pleasing. This means that incoming changes may not be visible everywhere. Or at least not all at once.

First of all, no matter what default native format is used, the change will be obvious. Web developers will need to proactively revert to default forms so that end users can see them.

As for when the changes will be published, the search giant says they are already being used in the Edge browser, which is based on Windows Chromium. In Chrome 81, the new user interface is located behind the experimental settings on the "chrome://flags" page. Google put it under the experimental logo labeled "#forms-controls-refresh."

For Chrome OS, Windows, Linux, and macOS, by default, these changes are published in stable channels in Chrome 83. Chrome updates for Android will be released later this year. Chrome 83 will be released on May 19 (Chrome OS on May 26) after the company decided to skip Chrome 82.
