| Summary : Gnome Humar Interface Guidelines manual
|
Description :
This document tells you how to create applications that look right, behave
properly, and fit into the GNOME user interface as a whole. It is written
for interface designers, graphic artists and software developers who will
be creating software for the GNOME environment. Both specific advice on making
effective use of interface elements, and the philosophy and general design
principles behind the GNOME interface are covered.
These guidelines will help you write applications that are easy to use and
consistent with the GNOME desktop. Following these guidelines will have many
benefits:
* Users will learn to use your program faster, because interface elements
will look and behave the way they are used to.
* Novice and advanced users alike will be able accomplish tasks quickly and
easily, because the interface won\'t be confusing or make things difficult.
* Your application will have an attractive look that fits in with the rest
of the desktop.
* Your application will continue to look good when users change desktop
themes, fonts and colors.
* Your application will be accessible to all users, including those with
disabilities or special needs.
To help you achieve these goals, these guidelines will cover basic interface
elements, how to use them and put them together effectively, and how to make
your application integrate well with the desktop.
The recommendations here build on design aspects that have worked well in
other systems, including Mac OS, Windows, Java and KDE. At the same time
they retain a uniquely GNOME flavor.
