description: Apply and review classic desktop UI designs against the 1992 Human Interface Guidelines. Use when designing or auditing menus, windows, dialog/alert boxes, controls, icons, color, mouse/keyboard behaviors, language/messages/help (including Balloon Help), localization/worldwide compatibility, accessibility (universal access), and collaborative-computing UX for desktop-style interfaces.

Human Interface Guidelines (1992)

Use this skill to apply and audit user interfaces against the classic desktop conventions described in the 1992 guidelines.

Workflow

1) Establish context (ask if missing)

  • •Target environment: classic desktop-style UI, color depth, screen sizes, multi-monitor expectations.
  • •Audience: novice vs expert mix, accessibility needs, localization targets.
  • •Artifacts: screenshots, mockups, flows, specs, or code; plus constraints (toolkit limits, timeline).

2) Classify what you’re reviewing

Identify the surface area and review by component:

  • •Menus and keyboard equivalents
  • •Windows (document vs utility), scrolling, zooming, positioning
  • •Dialog boxes and alerts (modeless vs movable modal vs modal)
  • •Controls (buttons, radio/checkbox, sliders/steppers, disclosure)
  • •Icons and icon families
  • •Color usage (black-and-white-first, selection/highlight behavior)
  • •Behaviors (mouse + keyboard conventions; selection/editing)
  • •Language (labels, messages, help systems, Balloon Help)
  • •Worldwide compatibility, universal access, collaborative computing UX

3) Evaluate with the checklist first, then go deep

  • •Start with references/checklist.md to catch the highest-impact issues quickly.
  • •Use references/conspect.md when you need rationale, design patterns, or component-specific rules.
  • •If needed, consult the source PDF at Human_Interface_Guidelines_1992.pdf (avoid long verbatim quotes; paraphrase and cite figure/section names instead).

4) Return findings in a review-friendly format

Provide:

  1. •High-priority violations (things that break core “look/feel”, consistency, safety, or accessibility)
  2. •Recommended fixes (what to change + why + any tradeoffs)
  3. •Verification checklist (what to re-check after changes)
  4. •Open questions (missing context that could change recommendations)

Bundled references

  • •references/conspect.md: detailed paraphrased outline by chapter/topic.
  • •references/checklist.md: practical review checklist derived from Appendix C.
