Want strict guidelines on designing very Mac-assed apps so you don’t end up just shipping a stretched out iPad app?

Check out the Mario HIG for Macintosh apps. Make your apps Macintosh AF!!!

Get some strict guidelines on making sidebars, toolbars, layouts (especially those for Settings), and Inspectors!!!

All this is free too.

But if you feed my HIG into some LLM, don’t tell me about it. I don’t want or need to know.

Happy Coding!

@colincornaby 2001 for Mac was far better. The UI was *elite* for Mac OS 9.

Thanks!
From a quick glance: I don’t see you handle the menu bar, only popup menus? I have a hard time to get rid of the —wrong— automatic menus when running my ipados app on a Mac.

But that’s a different topic…
