I've been giving this a little more thought. There are a small number of new design patterns which we are going to be pushing in GNOME 3, and some draft guidance does exist for these. They include: * Symbolic icons * Inline toolbars for editable lists (be aware: theming work on these is ongoing!) * Notifications * Application naming If you're looking for something to do, and you fancied cobbling a small HIG GNOME 3 update document together, that would be very cool! :) http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero/AppIntegration http://live.gnome.org/UsabilityProject/HIG3/EditableLists http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Whiteboards/SymbolicIcons/UseGuidelines http://gitorious.org/gnome-design/gnome-design/blobs/master/mockups/theming/widget-inline-toolbar.png Allan -- Blog: http://afaikblog.wordpress.com/ IRC: aday on irc.gnome.org _______________________________________________ usability mailing list usability@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
