Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked layout, iconography, selection-controls, and concision pages, comparing their screenshots, app-icon guidance, and referenced links with current practice. Done means the outdated screenshots and guidance are updated and the reported dead links are resolved or replaced.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Some of the design documentation is quite out-of-date and could be made better. Some things in particular:

  • Screenshots are outdated. Here for example.
  • The iconography guidelines don't reflect what's happening in practice anymore, at least of app icons.
  • This seems to be a dead link. This one as well.
