KDE Visual Design Group

This is the community wiki for the KDE VDG.

Read first

Active participation in design discussions takes place on the KDE forums. You can also reach the VDG on IRC at #kde-vdg

If you're planning to design a user interface for a QWidgets-based, desktop-only application, first consult the Classic KDE Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). If you are planning an application which runs on both desktop and mobile, consult the Kirigami Human Interface Guidelines (HIG).

For creating mockups that match the design of the Breeze widget theme, we have created a Mockup Toolkit.

The primary purpose of this wiki is to capture the results of those design discussions in a permanent place for future reference.
