<div dir="ltr">Heiko,<div><br></div><div>I put the first proposal for the Visual Design Guidelines on my userbase wiki here:</div><div><a href="http://userbase.kde.org/User:Andrew/VisualDesignGuide">http://userbase.kde.org/User:Andrew/VisualDesignGuide</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>To integrate with the HIG, we'd like to propose the following:<br></div><div>1. The definition of the HIG Presentation section on <a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/About">http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/About</a> is the definiition of a visual design guide. Would it be ok if we replaced the Presentation section and its structure with the proposed VIsual Design Guide?</div>
<div>2. We received some early feedback from Thomas Pfeiffer that the Overview section of the proposed Visual Design Guide might be appropriate at a higher level in HIG. That's ok with us if it's ok here. Would it be ok to put a link to the Overview section or its contents (Design Goals, Design Principles) under the Introduction section?</div>
<div>3. Thomas also mentioned that the Mockup Toolkit section might be appropriate at a higher level. Would it be ok to add a Mockup Toolkit section at a higher level?</div><div><br></div><div>This is proposed for just an initial release of the guide. We intend over time to continuously participate in updating this guide (and other areas of the HIG) as time permits. :-)<br>

<br>
that's really good news! You are welcome to either push the existing pages or<br>
to add a link to your guide that could be set-up at a different location. Of<br>
course I would prefer that integration. The underlying model of the HIG [1]<br>
has explicitly room for visual aspects. So far it just references the theming<br>
page [2].<br>
And please feel free to comment all other UX aspects too. We need your point<br>
of view for a complete guide.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Heiko.<br>
