Responsive

GitLab is a responsive experience that works well across all screen sizes, from mobile devices to large monitors. In order to provide a great user experience, the core functionality (browsing files, creating issues, writing comments, etc.) must be available at all resolutions. However, due to size limitations, some secondary functionality may be hidden on smaller screens. Please keep this functionality limited to rare actions that aren't expected to be needed on small devices.

Typography

Primary typeface

GitLab's main typeface used throughout the UI is Source Sans Pro. We support both the bold and regular weight.

Monospace typeface

This is the typeface used for code blocks. GitLab uses the OS default font.

Menlo (Mac)
Consolas (Windows)
Liberation Mono (Linux)

Icons

GitLab uses Font Awesome icons throughout our interface.


	The trash icon is used for destructive actions that deletes information.
	The pencil icon is used for editing content such as comments.
	The bell icon is for notifications, such as Todos.
	The eye icon is for subscribing to updates. For example, you can subscribe to a label and get updated on issues with that label.
	The standard RSS icon is used for linking to RSS/atom feeds.
	An 'x' is used for closing UI elements such as dropdowns.
	A plus is used when creating new objects, such as issues, projects, etc.

TODO: update this section, add more general guidance to icon usage and personality, etc.

Color


	Blue is used to highlight primary active elements (such as the current tab), as well as other organizational and managing commands.
	Green is for actions that create new objects.
	Orange is used for warnings
	Red is reserved for delete and other destructive commands
	Grey is used for neutral secondary elements. Depending on context, white is sometimes used instead.

TODO: Establish a perspective for color in terms of our personality and rationalize with Marketing usage.
