<h1>Tools & Resources<a class="headerlink" href="#tools-resources" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>A variety of tools and resources are available for GNOME UX design. There is no requirement to use any of these, and designers and developers should use the tools with which they are most comfortable. However, in many cases these resources will help you to get up and running as quickly and easily as possible.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Most of these tools and resources are referenced elsewhere in the HIG, where they are most relevant.</p>

<p>When using the various design patterns and UI elements in the HIG, it is recommended to look at existing examples to see how they look and work in practice. This can currently be done with the following apps and tools:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
||
|
|
<li><p>GTK 4 demo: this includes demos for most of the widgets in GTK 4 (not all of these are recommended for use). To run it, install the GTK 4 development library and run <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gtk4-demo</span></code>.</p></li>
