Hi, all! Here are a few projects the Design Team has contributed to over the past couple of weeks.

Pattern Directory Redesign

Exploring a refresh of the pattern direction in the vein of the Theme Directory.

Site editor visual explorations

A few visual explorations on how we can improve the edit and save flow in the site editor. Notably, by adding an extra drilldown item for each navigation item or template, we are able to show a clear and ergonomic edit button in context of a useful title. You can still click the preview on the right to hop directly into editing what you see at any point in time, but making this secondary to the navigation on the left is meant to afford some clarity on the structure. A couple of PRs to follow, that explore these efforts: 47142, and 47777.

WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ 2FA mockups

As metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. teams are currently implementing 2 factor authentication for WP.org accounts, we are exploring a few small visual improvements to parts of the flow. Issue.

CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. interface improvement

The Openverse team decided to tackle a core interface improvement of root components. For this project, we are exploring a new version of buttons based on the Tailwind approach. The change is one of the 2023 goals and implies updating the Figma Design Library.

Sensitive content view

After the Openverse integration in GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/, Openverse team started discussing the safety browsing experience outside Openverse site. In that vein, we started to explore ideas for landing in sensitive content results.

Componentisation of the ‘Browse view’ assets

Now that we’re approaching a good place with the general ‘Browse view’ UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. it’s time to componentise the different elements which will allow us to rapidly polish all the pixels in time for 6.2.

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 blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. 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 UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. 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.

New Homepage and Download pages for WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/

New designs for two of the most high-traffic pages on the WordPress.org site — the Homepage and Download page. The new look & feel builds on the updates that rolled out to the News section last year, putting a more modern and jazzy spin on the WordPress brand.

Making the Site Editor feel more like a design tool

Inspired by the style variation video we’ve been looking at ways to elevate key site editing features (styles specially) in the overall experience, so that the site editor feels more like a holistic design tool rather than a template editor.

Rethinking WordPress.org Navigation

Inspired by some discussion on the Make Meta blog, we’ve been exploring how to clean up and simplify the navigation on the WordPress.org site.

Copy improvements in Openverse

As a quick win in the openverse search experience, we shared a design idea to improve the copy on some pages and make Openverse more clear. Having the search engine inside the WordPress site makes it difficult to convey what is about.

Styles update in Openverse

In the current version of Openverse, text styles are defined per component and differ when placed together. We started exploring a style update to clean and centralize all styles to make the search more consistent.

Placeholders

A literal placeholder style with a dashed line has been used in a few places to indicate the ability to add a featured imageFeatured image A featured image is the main image used on your blog archive page and is pulled when the post or page is shared on social media. The image can be used to display in widget areas on your site or in a summary list of posts. or a a site logo. This style has been expanded to the Image blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor.

They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output.. The placeholder also features a blurred background to set it apart in stacked contexts. Tickets/PRs: Image, Site Logo/Featured Image, Image radius and duotone + more

Inspector grid

With ongoing component work and cleanup, here’s a visualization of how inspector components should naturally lay themselves out.

Pre-publish sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. summary section

We continued exploring the pre-publish sidebar with a version that improves the readability of the sidebar by integrating the suggestions inside the main summary section.
