Guidelines:Links

From KDE-HIG_Wiki


Links

Links are text elements that open further information, mostly a web page in a browser window. They can be utilized in html containers but also embedded with the user interface, e.g. in dialogs or What's this hints.

Links in configuration dialogs can be useful, especially for security-related options.

Links in dialogs

  • You may use links in configuration dialogs to provide further information about the displayed options.
  • Such links may open a What's this hint, direct the user to a page in the user manual or open a web page in the default browser.
  • Use links in dialogs rarely, and only if the information is critical to the user (e.g. security-related hints or when a critical option is operated).


Links in Whats This hints

  • What's this hints should contain links to related information in the user manual, if available.


Accessibility Notes

Make sure links in configuration dialogs are accessible via the keyboard.
