Talk:User Interface Guidelines

Question regarding 1.5.5.3.2 "Titlebar icons": Why are we documenting the behavior of a widget on a specific platform with specific theme enabled? These values are not guaranteed even just looking at windows alone. (Randy Hudson)

Somewhere around guideline 1.8/1.9 should mention guidelines for translated messages. In particular, when to use single quote and double quote (see discussion in bug 147075). It should also suggest that error messages not go into too much implementation detail or use technical language that end users will not typically understand. (John Arthorne)
