Concept

See KDE HIG for guidelines on this design approach.

Plasma Mobile Vision

Plasma Mobile aims to become a complete software system for mobile devices. It is designed to give privacy-aware users back the full-control over their information and communication. Plasma Mobile takes a pragmatic approach and is inclusive to 3rd party software, allowing the user to choose which applications and services to use. It provides a seamless experience across multiple devices. Plasma Mobile implements open standards, and it is developed in a transparent process that is open for the community to participate in.

UI Patterns

Plasma as a UI/UX set is intended to be interconnected between desktop usage and phone usage. Due to this the general Human Interface Guidelines are written to give both use cases room to unify them avoid two separate tracks of design and implementation.

That means that you as a developer should read the Plasma Human Interface Guidelines in the their entirety. But since these are early days, during construction of the Phone sections of the HIG we will post links to them here as well.

Navigation Patterns Navigation Patterns depend on the structure of the application content. Navigation patterns can be combined with command patterns and content patterns to design the complete layout for your application.
