-This page is very much a work-in-progress at the moment. Feel free to contribute. 
  
-===== Rationale ===== 
-UI consistency is an important aspect of a mature desktop like Xfce. On the other hand, there are tons of panel plugins out there, developed by many different people. A written set of UI guidelines will help those developers ensure their plugins maintain some basic level of consistency. 
- 
-===== Process ===== 
-New guidelines should be submitted as a draft at the bottom of the page, in the "Draft Guidelines" section. Once all the core plugins follow the guideline (in trunk), the guideline may be promoted to the "Mature Guidelines" section of the page. Promoting drafts prematurely will only result in weakening the value of this document, so please refrain from doing so.

-  * Additional plugins implementing this guideline: places

-  * Plugins that display a single icon to the user: 
-    * e.g., launchers 
-    * Use 1px border around the icon. (This is the default border width for a GTK+ button.) 
- 
-  * Plugins that display a button and a label in a horizontal (v.) box for horizontal (v.) panels: 
-    * e.g., menu (when showing label) 
-    * Use a spacing of 4 on that box. 
- 
-  * Plugins that display a label, icon, or value reading next to a "monitor" 
-    * e.g., system load monitor, volume control 
-    * Use 2px spacing between the label/icon/value reading and the monitor.
