- bayindirh 5y agoApple has an old in-house document for UI designs, he might be referring to that one. I shall have a copy somewhere.
- formerly_proven 5y agoMicrosoft used to have one as well (600-odd pages or so). The current one is more like $randomFrameworkDocs where they have a short page with a screenshot for a few UWP components / patterns. Before that one they had something similar for Aero, but neither is a real HIG, they're just describing components. I can't find the old one, maybe they removed it because it shames their newer products.

It tells all the basics and then some for effective color documents and presentations. I hold on to it like it's gonna save my life. It's that good. Hmm, Maybe I should scan it...
