Decided and open
What TJ has decided so far, and the questions still waiting for him.
Decided, October 24
- Corners: C, for now.
Tags and chips 3 px, controls 5 px, panels 8 px. "C for now. will continue to evolve."
- Home inside a workshop.
⌂ goes to the workshop's own page, not the explorables index.
- The mark.
A Rough Idea's square A in every top bar; an app keeps its own mark as its icon and favicon; the full lockup only for big moments. This site's top bar has it; the apps take it as each reaches its rollout phase.
- Exhibit and print.
Both are contexts. Print comes from the books' page system, and the portfolio's format bridges print and its web view.
- Case.
Sentence case everywhere: headings, buttons, menus, and now labels, which are small and gray in the text face. Settled with Margin; labels joined it on October 24. Capitals only in the full lockup.
- The current item.
A rule in the margin of a list, an underline in a row of tabs, as proposed.
- Figures and tables.
As proposed: a 2 px rule above a figure, hairlines between a table's rows. The rule marks where a figure starts without making it a panel, whose rounded corners say "a group of parts"; the row hairlines keep wide rows easy to follow across.
- Section numbers.
As proposed: the number hangs to the left of its title.
Still open
- Icons.
Which direction? Every set in use is under Icons: the portfolio's three drafts, v2's own interface icons, and the sets the apps use today.
- Scope.
Does v2 cover chickenshitartist.com and the apps on tjmcleish.com? Not yet.
The canvas still shows the Margin details' options side by side: Margin details ↗.
