Chris Messina's Flickr stream also has a ton of screenshots of design patterns: http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/collections/72157600...


Sort of like Quince(http://quince.infragistics.com/) for the web. Nice.


Is there access to the info w/o registration? If so can you point me to it?


Ironically (for a site about UX), you have to click on the Quince logo, then a menu drops down and you can choose to see "All Patterns".


This, no offense, seems like the worst idea ever*. Who needs to innovate when you can just c/p a design pattern? (Yes I realize you can already do that, but making it easier seems like the opposite of progress.)


Huh? DPs are simply proven ways to address common problems. Would it make sense for each of us to have to solve the same problems before we can get on to the new problems? Maybe we should all have to write our own programming language before coding our next business. Why innovate when you can just use an existing programming language?

Also, it's not as easy as copying a DP. There is a level of understanding required of both the pattern and the problem at hand to even know if the pattern is appropriate. I will take a GoF solution as at least a starting point to my problem over rolling my own any day of the week.


Bright orange text on white. Nice.


If you're using Linux with compiz, just invert the colors with [Super]-[n]:

<3 Linux :)


I'm stuck on Windows at work (sue to Flex development).


Zap Colors, the second item on the list at https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html, is a bookmarklet compatible with any browser. It makes the page background white and links blue.


Why the downvote?



Reminds me of an excerpt from this book I saw posted here once: http://designinginterfaces.com


is it a design pattern or an antipattern to call the main page just "Home"?
