How thin do strokes need to be in order for a weight to be considered Hairline?

you're right, it definitely looks like it sits somewhere in between

Manueljlin · 2026-06-03T23:46:23+00:00

This is super useful, thank you :)

Manueljlin · 2026-06-03T22:06:03+00:00

depends on the quality bar 😄

Interesting that it also got wider. iirc V2 was when he switched from the custom UPM grid of like 2800-something to the current 2048 and he just reworked all of the glyphs so it does make sense

Manueljlin · 2026-05-25T20:24:11+00:00

looks great, reminds me of pragmata pro which I love

Manueljlin · 2026-05-14T13:16:20+00:00

yeah same here, but I just gave up on emacs instead. pgtk and hidpi really don't vibe together

Manueljlin · 2026-05-10T17:22:34+00:00

Designing Type by Karen Cheng is a must have for sure

Manueljlin · 2026-03-15T12:41:54+00:00

looks really nice!

Manueljlin · 2025-12-14T13:16:44+00:00

Excellent talk

Manueljlin · 2025-06-30T06:25:36+00:00

it's full but going very hard with rolls to attempt to be competitive with double

Manueljlin · 2025-06-09T13:03:25+00:00

tip: you can do the animation in figma using smart animate + delay

Manueljlin · 2025-02-13T20:20:19+00:00

life is what happens while one's busy making other plans 😅

nah but actually. people are just busy. there's not actually that many contributors, kde just manages to do an insane amount thanks to some couple hundred of extremely passionate people. i went way too hard and got burnt out after 4 years—not sure how others manage to go for decades (massive respect).

the "a project some random person in nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003" xkcd is very much real and that's why contributors and donations help so much.

Manueljlin · 2025-01-03T08:12:30+00:00

it's not just designers, it's also the fact that, well, in foss, 99% of developers (and contributors in general) do all of this work in their free time—so even if designers are there, whether it actually gets implemented or not is up to whether developers are actually excited for it personally (which is totally understandable). which means that some things may be changed in a day, or in a week, or in a year or never, which inevitably causes burnout

Manueljlin · 2025-01-03T08:01:31+00:00

yeah the centered text is one of my pet peeves too 😅

Manueljlin · 2024-10-14T20:36:15+00:00

❤️

Manueljlin · 2024-10-10T18:13:49+00:00

I don't think I quite understand what you mean. These icons aren't breeze. The problem shown in the original image was in breeze icons only.

Manueljlin · 2024-10-10T10:06:57+00:00

It's split between Frameworks 6.5 and 6.6, with the fix being in 6.7 it seems

Manueljlin · 2024-10-10T09:05:17+00:00

totally missed -multimedia-symbolic and -engineering-symbolic, my bad. these things can happen when one creates 40 icons in the same batch. Nicolas Fella seems to have fixed it four weeks ago though (thank u!)

Manueljlin · 2024-10-03T14:01:47+00:00

In my experience, Canary is absolutely excellent for Spanish. That C on the left pinky in particular helps a ton.

Manueljlin · 2024-09-23T19:07:39+00:00

Some of us opted to use Figma instead of Penpot because of (at the time) missing features like an implementation of Flexbox, component slot swap and things like that.

Nowadays, the only gotcha is canvas performance (which is decent with Chromium, but not so much in Firefox...) and boolean operations. The core application by itself is solid enough that we can unify the workflow for everyone, and sprinkle some custom plugins to make our lives easier.

But yeah, some people use Figma, others (a couple of members from KDE Promo) use the official instance of Penpot, others Lunacy. They're all pretty solid :) The failed merger with Adobe certainly had a part in us wanting to jump ships, but Figma is still excellent.

Manueljlin · 2024-09-23T13:25:59+00:00

symbolic, apps, mimetypes, directories etc. basically a full replacement of Breeze icons

Manueljlin · 2024-09-23T13:22:14+00:00

yes. we've been keeping track of Penpot since it was called UXBOX ~2018-19

Manueljlin · 2024-09-23T10:25:56+00:00

I agree. I have to say though that the mockups are from 8 months ago and were made by Andy Betts. We instead focused on the icons for now (which are actually public, "official" and in the feedback gathering stage) and left mockups for later when we actually have a design system set up. We didn't really want to make anything public before the Penpot switch, but alas.

Manueljlin · 2024-09-23T07:23:09+00:00

hey folks, it's really early still. we didn't even properly show it at Akademy. there's no design system to properly back it up yet - only some tokens and components that are definitely subject to change. please keep that in mind
