Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Part of the Drupal 8 Mobile UX Roadmap outlined an objective to design Drupal's task and input pages for small and touch screen devices.
We could design individual pages or use cases and have them working great but that doesn't solve all of our problems, if contrib modules have a bad mobile UI then the whole thing falls apart. We are designing a system that can be assembled in many different ways. We need to build and document a framework of different patterns and components, which detailed instructions about how and when to use them.
It would be useful to supply mockups of how example cores pages would work using these components but we should deliver way beyond that.

jhodgdonSounds like this is a coding standards issue?

lewisnymanI thought of it more of a UX design deliverable

Bojhan commentedYhea, this is not really a coding standard - sounds more like a UI standard we should document at http://drupal.org/ui-standards
Comment #5
jhodgdonThe "coding standards" tag encompasses all of the standards for how we should be writing Drupal code (including documentation, and I think UI design). If you don't consider the UI guidelines to be "standards", then we should move this into the Documentation project issue queue.

lewisnymanI would love it if the style guide came with advisory notes and references to theming functions.
It would be a great UI guide for contrib modules.

lewisnymanI don't think this issue serves much purpose now.
