## Style Guide ## Style Guide
We talk a lot about style guides as you might have noticed. In fact, recently we wrote an article about why they are so important. Thunderbird is no exception. We developed a full [style guide for Thunderbird](https://thunderbird.ura.design), based on the [Photon Design system](https://design.firefox.com) used by Firefox. As latter is quite extensive (Firefox use cases are way broader than Thunderbird's), we tweaked it to apply in Thunderbird's case. It's a living style guide and has lots of room for improvement in the future. However the next step is to implement all these design decisions. If the style guide describes patterns and guidelines well, but they aren't put into practice, the impact of a style guide is minimal. Hence, we look forward to see those changes be implemented and continue supporting the Thunderbird project with that task. We talk a lot about style guides as you might have noticed.

We also create an [Identihub page](https://demo.identihub.co/project/thunderbird#/) where you can easily access the Thunderbird assets.

Furthermore, we are helpign with the [redesign of the Thunderbird website](https://github.com/thundernest/thunderbird-website/issues/31) putting the style guide finally into practice as well.
