Human Interface Guidelines

We need to write our own, many useful examples:  Examples.

Notifier

I don't know what to do with that HoverSel?:

I don't use it at all in "real life" usage. Any better ideas for that space?

Contacts

Messages

I think I like the apathy design for the actual messages, example:

I also think we should write our message (to be written) inside a bubble and we also need a char counter. is there anything else I'm missing?

As for the main window, I want to see both per contact (like in 2007.2) grouping (with info) and classic messages list (sorted by time of arrival)

I like opimd-utils error handling, maybe that's the way to go:

Description of the UI, maybe sketches?

PhoneLog?

I like the current PhoneLog? design, (except for the fact that it's gtk+ and the buttons row) so I tried to make those changes show in the pictures below: Just try out pyphonelog to understand the feel and usability as it's a lot clearer that way.

The buttons should be stretched, they are not here as I'm not even slightly talented in GIMP :)
