Hi, all! Here are a few projects the Design Team has contributed to over the past couple of weeks.
Integrating Document Outline into list view
A couple of explorations on how the List View might look if we integrated the Document Outline into it. This would simplify the top toolbar. GH Issue.
Continuing on Placeholders
Continuing with making placeholders that work well in patterns, one PR expands the minimalist style to the Video block, and another refreshes the appearance from that of a dashed border to a simpler style. In progress here and here.
Updating link/unlink buttons
The link/unlink buttons have been updated to be regular icon buttons. Completed here.
Split inserter
The inserter for patterns is being split into a column of categories and a column of previews. In progress PR, and original design.
More Safari text selection fixes
Previously thought to have been fixed, the selection issue now has a new patch applied, that should be more resilient. Completed with more to come.
Media Library Inserter
New work started to on a new Media tab in the Inserter, which will help users adding images to the content without having to open the Media Library. It could also offer an option to search Openverse.
Image dropping modal
Idea: a small modal that appears when users drop a file outside of a drop area, offering them three options: save the file to the Media Library, append it to the post, set it as Featured Image. Original issue.
Refreshing patterns for the Query Loop block
A proposed refresh of the patterns that come bundled with the Query Loop block.
WordPress.org Design Library update
Updates to the WordPress.org Design Library with components for the recently redesigned Global navigation and also improved the footer components with some variations.
WordPress.org/mobile
There’s a new design for the wordpress.org/mobile page.
Progress on Twenty Twenty-Three theme
Selected style variations have been added to the TT3 theme with edits that were suggested during the curation round. So now would be a great time to test, test, test all variations!
