Dropped content
Content in the old HIG that currently isn't included in the new one:
- Visual layout - since we don't want to be in the business of teaching design fundamentals; we might want to reuse the content on label alignment though
- Selection mode - unclear what our story is here. I think we could come up with guidelines that incorporate selection and edit mode, but we don't seem to have many good examples of those patterns, and we don't really seem to support them
- Action bars - not sure how common a pattern they are, or whether they need documenting. In part a detail of selection mode.
- Button menus - too much overlap with menus. Any content that's useful in this page could be added to the general menus page.
- Since we don't support them:
- Overlaid controls
- In-app notifications
- Since we don't really recommend them any more
- Menu bars
- Toolbars
It would be good to bring some of these items back, when we're ready.
