Skeleton Screen

スケルトン・スクリーン / 2013– / Technique / UI Expression

Why it is closeTrustWeb / UIFinanceTechnique

A loading treatment that drops the spinner and shows a blank version of the page instead, then fills information into it as the data arrives. Luke Wroblewski named the technique in 2013, writing about his own app Polar, where a spinner had made testers report that the app felt slower than the previous version. The aim is to show advance toward the goal rather than the act of waiting.

No spinner and no progress bar while the screen loads / Blank fields already standing where text and images will land, at the size they will occupy / A layout committed before the data arrives, so nothing shifts when it does / Regions filling in one after another instead of the whole screen appearing at once

The design language the UK government's Government Digital Service publishes and maintains for public services. Everything runs in one undecorated left aligned column set in GDS Transport, and the green button keeps square corners while carrying a darker green band along its bottom edge, dropping by exactly that depth when pressed. Whatever holds keyboard focus turns yellow with a black rule under it.

Solarized

ソラライズド / 2011– / Style / UI Expression

Why it is closeTrustWeb / UIFinanceTechnique

Solarized is a sixteen colour scheme for terminal and GUI applications published by Ethan Schoonover with every value in the open, eight monotones and eight accents. The monotones hold symmetric CIELAB lightness differences, so moving between the light and the dark background keeps the same perceived contrast. It lowers brightness contrast on purpose and lets hue relations, not brightness, separate one token from the next.

Backgrounds that are neither pure black nor pure white, one leaning teal and one leaning cream / A small lightness gap between body text and ground, softer than black on white / Eight accents at close to equal lightness, told apart by hue alone / The same accent holding the same role after the background is flipped from dark to light

A design system that reduces the physical metaphor of paper and ink to rules of shadow and overlap. Elements are given elevation, shadow states the hierarchy, and motion carries physical cause and effect. It became the model for UI design being distributed as a system. The 2021 revision added colour derived from the device wallpaper, so the palette differs from one user to the next.

The book defines two parallel designs, one black and white for monochrome displays and one three dimensional for grayscale and colour, sets a single sans serif variable width face for every common element, and tells implementers that restraint is the key to colour. Each pop-up window carries a pushpin at the left of its header, and pinning it leaves the window on the workspace.
