Hi, all! Here are a few projects the Design Team has contributed to over the past couple of weeks.
Translate Redesign
We explored a redesign of the Translate pages with several things still being worked on.
Top toolbar improvements
For constrained contexts or simply if you prefer, there’s an option to dock the block toolbar to the top of the screen. At the moment this results in a stacked and somewhat clumsy experience, which these explorations aim to mitigate through making the singular top toolbar contextual. Needs dev in 40450.
An in-canvas drag handle exploration
An ongoing problem with the top toolbar option is that there’s no handle for drag and drop. To go along with top toolbar improvements, this is an exploration to move the handle back in context of the block, same color as the text, so it works for either toolbar configuration.
Move outline stats to the top of the outline
The document outline was recently merged into the list view. Responding to feedback that it was easy to miss at the bottom, we moved those stats to the top of the outline tab. Completed in 46648.
A unified UI components grid
Block editor UI components are currently a mix of sizes ranging from 32 over 36 to 40px in height. This new issue outlines an approach to unifying on 32 and 40px sizes, with 40px being the tall and graceful default, and the more compact size being appropriate for a few specific contexts, such as the top toolbar. Issue 46734.
Adding Fonts
Mockups to go with PR 46332, which explores font management.
