| If you found an area that was unclear or is not even covered in our HIG, tell us about it. We can be reached on the [https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-usability kde-usability] mailing-list.

| = Conventions =
| |
| Following is a set of guidelines to ensure the HIG itself is consistent.
| |
| | |
| == Terminology ==
| |
| * Use the word '''Control''', not '''Widget''' to refer to a user interface element. Rationale: "Control" is more widespread outside the UNIX community. It is also reasonable to expect more and more applications will be written using QtQuick and QtQuick controls in the future.
| |
| | |
| * Use '''check box''' and '''combo box''', not '''checkbox''' or '''combobox'''.
| |
| | |
| = TODO =
| |
| == Start page ==
| |
| *<s> Figure out what to do of the legacy stuff (at the bottom of the page)</s>
| |
| | |

| |
| * Fix missing page: [[Design_and_Layout:Interaction:Input#Inline Editing|inline-editing]]
| |
| * Fix missing page: [[Guidelines:Info Panel|info panels]]
| |
| * Review guidelines about alignments: they duplicate/contradict the one from [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Form_Label_Alignment|Form: Label Alignment]]
| |
| | |
| == [[Projects/Usability/HIG/ListView]] ==
| |
| <s>
| |
| === Purpose ===
| |
| Recommendation should be checked
| |
| | |
| === Guidelines ===
| |
| Add subsections
| |
| | |
| === Selection ===
| |
| Check against recommendation.
| |
| | |
| Choose between either:
| |
| # In any other case, use the dual-list pattern because it allows users to easily see which items are selected at any point, without having to scroll through the available options
| |
| # Use a list box for multiple selections with more than five options.
| |
| </s>
| |
| | |
| Get a new type of check boxes for list views implemented: KCheckBoxes:
| |
| * KCB are flat (no frame, no shadow, no bevel) for clear differentiation from normal check boxes.
| |
| * KCB are hidden by default, that means when no list item is selected.
| |
| * KCB have a fade-in effect on mouse over to introduce themselves to users.
| |
| * KCB are transparent and therby clearly part of the list item.
| |
| * Legacy keyboard use applies to KCB as well. Thus, the whole item can be clicked to toggle option.
