KDE Unveils New Human Interface Guidelines for 2024
In a significant development for the KDE community, prominent KDE developer Nate Graham has been collaborating with various KDE designers and developers to establish a new set of Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). These guidelines are designed to provide a robust framework for developers and designers working on new KDE software.
The KDE Human Interface Guidelines aim to ensure that every piece of content is actionable, reflecting the current design philosophy of KDE software. This includes the use of Qt Quick-based Kirigami apps, a flat navigation menu, and a more inviting approach for new contributors to the HIG.
While the new KDE HIG is not yet fully complete, those interested in delving deeper into the guidelines can do so through Nate Graham’s blog. Additionally, the guidelines can be accessed on the KDE development website at develop.kde.org.
The new HIG is a critical step forward in maintaining consistency and usability across KDE software, ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience. According to Michael Larabel of Phoronix, who reported on this development, the guidelines are part of KDE’s ongoing efforts to enhance the application development experience and attract more contributors.
For more information and updates on the KDE Human Interface Guidelines, stay tuned to Nate Graham’s blog and the KDE development website.
