Report problems

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 kde-guidelines 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
  • Figure out what to do of the legacy stuff (at the bottom of the page)
• kdehig repository
  • Document how to use it
  • Move it to KDE playground
  • Integrate designer files from http://techbase.kde.org/File:HIG-UI-Files.tar.gz
