<title>Initial state placeholders</title>

<media type="image" mime="image/svg" src="figures/patterns/initial-state-placeholder.svg"/>

<p>An initial state placeholder is an image and text which fills the space in an application that has never contained any content.</p>

<section id="when-to-use">
<title>Cuándo usarlas</title>

<p>In some cases an application might be empty until a user adds some content to it. In these scenarios, an initial state can be used to provide a rich and inviting experience. This helps to avoid the first use of the application being downbeat and unwelcoming.</p>

<p>An initial state placeholder should only be used when an application is going to be unavoidably empty. In many cases it is often better to pre-populate the application.</p>

</section>

<section id="guidelines">
<title>Guías</title>

<list>
<item><p>Siga la distribución estándar para el tamaño y la ubicación de las imágenes y las etiquetas, para que su aplicación sea consistente con otras aplicaciones de GNOME 3.</p></item>
<item><p>The imagery used should be rich and colorful.</p></item>
<item><p>The text that accompanies the image should be positive and upbeat. This is a moment where you can sell your application and establish a positive identity for it. It can also be an opportunity to strike up a relationship with the user by addressing them directly.</p></item>
<item><p>Si hay controles que permiten añadir elementos, puede resultar apropiado resaltarlos usando un <link xref="buttons#suggested-and-destructive">estilo sugerido</link> cuando la lista o la rejilla están vacías.</p></item>
<item><p>While an application is initially empty, some controls don't serve a purpose (such as those for browsing content, changing view, or searching). Making these controls insensitive will help to avoid the user being disappointed, or trying features that won't work.</p></item>
<item><p>An initial state should persevere until content is added to the application, after which it should not be seen again. If the application becomes empty subsequently, an <link xref="empty-placeholder">empty state can be used</link>.</p></item>
