Hi all, A new version of the HIG is in the works, to be released along with GNOME 3.14 [1]. I'm currently looking for feedback.
I'm about halfway done reading. I have a few suggestions, all minor: * The Visual Layout page discusses how many pixels to use as margins. This is easy for developers to use, but it caused some confusion on LWN given that on hidpi displays twice as many pixels will be used. Maybe this should be clarified. * On the Dialogs page: "In particular, it is currently not recommended to make the Close button the default in an instant apply window, as this can lead to users closing the window accidentally before they have finished using it." I think you can remove the word "currently," unless you're planning to change your mind. :) * Regarding the keybindings page: Ctrl+Alt+Delete is power off, not log off, and it is not disabled default, although it shows up in g-c-c as log off. [1] * Throughout the HIG, you're mostly consistent in using ' and " instead of the ’ and “ characters that are mandated by the Typography page. Some search and replace might be appropriate here, to set a good example. :) * On the index page: "If you have never read the Human Interface Guidelines before, it is recommended that you start with the essentials section, in particular the design principles page, before continuing to learn about the design patterns." But this text is in the description for the Interface elements section, not the Patterns section. [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675005
