Hi all,
I've collected several ideas regarding the look of LO. Some of them are
inspired by word and I think it wouldn't be too hard to realize them.
There's a short summary with a few examples in this document:
http://ubuntuone.com/7m7AXgeh7OIwGBiCOHAjGh
1) First of all, I think it's time to change the default formatting and
coloring of text, shapes and tables. It doesn't have to be
extraordinary, but some polish would be nice. Additionally would it be
useful if the user could define alternating colors for tables and maybe
even export all this to a xml file or something for easy exchange.
2) Pressing "Ctrl" while resizing a picture or shape should keep the
ratio, like e.g. in Inkscape
3) If possible, the markup-language input for formulas should be optional
4) I wonder how useful the text border actually is. We could achieve a
cleaner look by simply disabling it by default
5) The handles for resizing and rotating look rather dated. They should
be replaced by some squares/circles filled with a nice gradient.
6) There should be some nice borders (e.g. polaroid-style) that could
easily be applied to imported graphics
What do you think? Some of this might not be trivial to implement, but
in my opinion it would be worth the effort. Should I forward the mail to
the devs?
Kind Regards
Alex
