Day: A New Approach to GNOME Application Design

GNOME design team member Allan Day writes about ideas in GNOME 3 application design on his blog. In the article, he looks at the use of maximized windows, views, primary toolbars, and more. The design team is documenting these ideas in a new version of the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). "There are many other application design patterns that we've been working on, including application menus, a new grid view for displaying collections of content, in-app notifications, new models for dialogs, nice full screen controls and a sidebar list pattern. Together, these provide the opportunity to create applications that efficient, modern, elegant, and a pleasure to use."
