Presentation (25 min) Main Track

Speaker

Mr Nate Graham (KDE)

Description

Over the years, KDE's software has been described in many ways, but "consistent user interface" was rarely one of them.

That's ending now! KDE's Nate Graham explains what was wrong with KDE's old Human Interface Guidelines, introduces its brand new ones, and talks about the user interface design benefits of high-quality HIG in general.

Though these guidelines were written with a KDE perspective in mind, many of their recommendations apply equally well to all software!
