<title>Kompatibilität</title>

<p>Diese Richtlinien für Benutzeroberflächen zielen primär auf neue GNOME- und GTK+-Anwendungen ab, wobei der Schwerpunkt wiederum auf der Integration in GNOME 3 liegt. Jedoch sind sie auch für plattformübergreifende und ältere Anwendungen anwendbar, die auf der Grundlage der Richtlinien für GNOME-2-Benutzeroberflächen entworfen und implementiert wurden.</p>

<section id="cross-platform-compatibility">
<title>Plattformübergreifende Kompatibilität</title>

<p>The HIG provides cross-platform for those design patterns and UI elements that require special treatment in cross-platform cases. Otherwise, all the design patterns provided in these guidelines can be used in a cross-platform manner.</p>

<p>Da einige Plattformen die Integration von <link xref="menu-bars">Menüleisten</link> bieten, ist dieser Aspekt für plattformübergreifende Anwendungen von besonderer Bedeutung.</p>

<title>Kompatibilität mit GNOME 2</title>

<p>These Human Interface Guidelines are an evolution of the GNOME 2 HIG, and represent an improvement on the previous version. Applications that follow the new version of the HIG will use space more efficiently, will provide a more focused user experience, and will use modern interpretations of key functionality, such as search, online integration, or notifications.</p>

<p>Following some of the design patterns in these guidelines may imply larger-scale design changes for GNOME 2 style applications, particularly if those applications are complex. In particular, replacing window title bars and <link xref="menu-bars">menu bars</link> with a <link xref="header-bars">header bar</link> could be a big change for your application.</p>

<p>However, much of the advice contained within this HIG can be incorporated into GNOME 2 style applications with minimal disruption, and will lead to an improved experience for users. This includes:</p>

<list>
<item><p>Utilizing new user interface elements, such as popovers.</p></item>
<item><p>Guidance on new GTK+ abilities, like animations.</p></item>
<item><p>Modernized guidance on subjects such as visual layout, typography and icon usage.</p></item>
</list>

<p>Incorporating these elements of the guidelines can enhance your application without requiring a major redesign, and all GTK+ and GNOME applications can benefit from them.</p>

<p>These Human Interface Guidelines have been designed to assist you in determining the best design for your application, rather than proposing a single template to be used in all applications. As such, while they recommend <link xref="header-bars">header bars</link> over <link xref="menu-bars">menu bars</link>, they provide guidance on both approaches.</p>
