Hi, all! Here are a few projects the Design Team has contributed to over the past couple of weeks.
Developer and Documentation redesigns
We continued iterating the design of the Developer and Documentation pages with feedback from the community and the WordPress Documentation team.
Jobs redesign
We started redesigning the WordPress Jobs website. Figma file with an initial iteration.
Global styles summary view for blocks and styles
We are working on a feature called Style Book, a collection of every block available organized by category that can be used to customize and preview the style of a site. Figma file and issue.
Summary panel grid tweaks
A very tiny improvement to the spacing of items in the post status summary panel. More work to be done. PR.
Snap point updates
Updated mockups for rendering snap-points when resizing images. There is an interesting CSS challenge for rendering the overlay with transparent gutters in both centered, and justified right configurations.
Global Styles panel/drilldown synchronicity
Efforts to add box-shadow controls to the editor have unearthed an inconsistency between Global Styles properties and inspector panels. For example, a missing “Border” panel, resulting in border properties currently being found in the “Layout” section. This PR adds a new border panel, with some icon work attached.
Menu Item Transforms
Building navigation is made slower by having to pick between mostly similar item types, “Page Link” vs. “Custom Link”. This issue details a simplification to hopefully reduce to a single item that can be transformed in the inspector.
Filter counter in Openverse
The filters applied counter is coming back to the Filter button and the filter tab. The idea is for improving the content settings flow and how users are aware of the narrowed results.
Browse Mode
Pull Request #44770 reorganizes the site editor so that it is better positioned for exciting future enhancements like browse mode.
Shadows
Pull Request #46228 explores higher definition shadows in the block editor UI.
