Recently I was importing an Icinga configuration for testing purposes. Working with this configuration, I found that there were icon images assigned to the objects. Sadly, those didn’t display, because I didn’t have the icon set installed. So I thought of creating my own.

I would have loved to start working on a well-thought-out icon set and already thought of defining a grid for ...| Icinga

LibreOffice Writer currently shows these comments in the document margin, which is limited to the page height, ending up in the need to scroll long text (even while editing [1]) and eventually in paging-like interactions if the number of comments exceed the total size.…| LibreOffice Design Team

Skeuomorphism taken to the extreme rarely works. But it can be fun. Like a turntable interface for playing YouTube music or a rotary telephone dial for number inputs. For buttons, skeuomorphic design usually takes form … Read more| Thomas Park
Responsive frameworks have taken off in the last few years, and there is no sign of that abating anytime soon. There are the big players such as Zurb’s Foundation and Twitter’s Bootstrap, but there are also a plethora of “smaller” frameworks (see examples like Base and Flexbox Grid) that all seek...| Siolon
Here’s a quick and easy way to add a colour picker lookup to an AX form. I’ve seen a number of different ways to add colour picker support to an AX form, but so far, this has been the easiest.

Since iOS 14, apps such as Apple’s Health app and COVID-19 app have started adopting larger cells for table views. These cells do not span edge to edge, do not have the traditional divider, and have a larger height and font size. These new table view cells represent Apple’s continuous transition towards a more user-friendly and accessible design language. Below are images that show how the new Settings table view in iOS 15 (right) has changed to adopt this new design language, compared to...| Codrs

So here's a fun but useless trick: mimicking Pokemon Go's battery saver mode on the web. For the few who missed the craze, Pokemon Go dims your phone's screen when you turn it upside-down.

Fidgeting is a natural impulse that seems to relieve our anxiety and aid us in contemplation. It often involves mindlessly interacting with everyday objects like stones, pen and paper, bubble wrap, and more. Of course there are also products purpose-built for this, from stress balls to the Swiss Army knife of fidget contraptions, Fidget Cube,| Thomas Park | On web development, interface design, user research, and all th...
Google has been making sweeping changes to the look of their products. One of these changes is the addition of density control. With a couple of clicks, users of Gmail and Reader can now switch between a comfortable, cozy, and compact display. It may seem like a totally unremarkable feature.

Like most web developers, Google Fonts is an indispensable resource for me.

A bad web form sparked a series of increasingly absurd designs for inputting phone numbers, including an incrementer, slider, random number generator, and very large table. Here's a good rundown of the solutions developers came up with. This is my take. It's a retro, skeuomorphic input based on the rotary telephone.

With the era of the humble unstyled and unscripted input field behind us, there's increasing variety in how monetary inputs work on the web. And this inconsistency can lead to big mistakes.
