MDS Assistant is an experiment.
Hi, I'm the MDS Assistant and can help you with information from our guidelines and components.

I do not provide code and development guidance. For coding assistance, please check out our experimental MCP server.

Top Bar

A fixed layout region anchored to the top of the viewport for application wide information and actions.

Fixed to the top of the viewport, the Top Bar is composed of 3 parts:

  • “Toggle Side Bar” button for hiding and showing the Side Bar.
  • Configurable company logo which will default to the correct logo per brand theme.
  • Slot for additional information and actions anchored to the right e.g. to show a theme switcher or a user’s avatar.

Product name

The Top Bar is configurable to show an product’s name e.g. “Maersk Design System”.

A shortened version of an product’s name can also be supplied to be shown on smaller viewports e.g. “MDS”.

When a product name is provided, the Top Bar will display a condensed version of a company’s logo e.g. the Maersk Star for Maersk.
