Re: [libreoffice-design] Season Logo/Banner for Website

[Antonio Faccioli]

Goodmorning, this is my first post in this mailing list :-)

I'm Antonio Faccioli and member Association LibreItalia. I tell you now 
that I'm not a graphic, but I enjoy using GIMP.
Last night I tried to make a banner as suggested by Italo... this is my 
proposal... what do you think?


https://www.dropbox.com/s/s7nou61ws86of9a/banner_christmas3.png?dl=0

Best regards
Antonio

We would like to add a seasonal logo/banner to the website. Does anyone
have an idea/mockup to suggest?

Ideally, the logo/banner should be in place during next week, as the end
of the year is approaching quickly.

Thanks, Italo

Re: [libreoffice-design] "eat our own dog food"

So why not create mockups with LO Draw ?

Nothing against dog food, and of course Draw is a useful tool. But to adopt a
paintting tool for mockups is like writing code with a text processor. My
scribbles are done with Balsamiq Mockups, which is a specialized tool. You may
read [1] on how to use it. There are some similar applications with different
features and other use cases. But no true usability engineer would apply
Inkscape for that purpose. It's the same for KDE: only designers do work with
Krita or Inkscape (BTW: there is a complete kit for desktop applications [2]).
So what is expected from a mockup tool:
* interactivity (on click either another page should open or the controls have
to work as usual),


Today, the mockups are pasted in a gdoc, in pdf or in a wiki page.
So interactivity is not used at all.

If you really need interactivity, why not use Impress ?
Just like Draw, it would be the opportunity to see if it's really a 
powerful tool.
(Few years ago, I read a blog about using Powerpoint to create 
interactive mockups)



* collaborativity (drafts need to get shared easily),


well, I think that using a std format (svg or odf) is better that a live 
tool based on a proprietary format



* comprehensive set of control (you don't want to draw buttons every time, and
those controls should be easy interchangable),


that's where LO would need huge enhancement !
the current gallery would be a rough start, but it would be possible.
Then it would be the opportunity to request enhancements to 
Draw/gallery/impress




* look and feel like scribbles (pixel-perfect design is misleading),


'scribbles like' is not mandatory, it's just a way to avoid drawing too 
much details.

We can have same results with std drawing objects (std rectangle...)

An example from OpenOffice :
https://wiki.openoffice.org/w/images/9/94/2010-01-17_PrintingDialog_inclStringReview.png

and one I made in few minutes, more than 2 years ago :
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/6/69/Template_manager_mre_v1.jpg

Both are far from pixel-perfect, while being done with Draw.


* support for layout (arrangement, placement etc.)


Again, this would be an opportunity to enhance Draw/Impress based on 
real usage needs.

First one : live guide to align objects while dragging



IMHO it makes no sense to enhance Draw for this purpose.


I agree it would remove some comfort, but at the end, we could also tell 
people "hey, we use Draw/Impress every day in the design team and look 
what we create ! So now, you can't say anymore that they are not 
powerful enough", and we would be trusty.



From what I heard about OpenOffice/LibreOffice :
- Writer is powerful, but looks outdated compared to Word
- Calc is clearly behind Excel (tools, ease of use, UI), while being a 
serious software
- Impress is non-existant compared to Powerpoint : buggy, unusable, 
completely outdated, few and uggly clipart, few and uggly templates

- Draw : mixed reviews :
- so we can draw with LibreOffice ???
- seems powerful but not easy to discover/use

My personal experience with Impress :
I had to create a simple slideshow : slides with only text with bullets, 
no animations. It was difficult because a list of very annoying details. 
So I clearly say to other people "don't use Impress".


So using LO internally would be a first step to enhance it.
The more we find it difficult, the more we have to enhance it !

Cheers,

Michel

Re: [libreoffice-design] "eat our own dog food"

[kainz.a]

you have right, I use kde and do design stuff for kde, BUT I use plasma 5.2
from Kubuntu 15.04 (cause there is an BUG in Dolphin at Kubuntu 15.10) and
make design stuff for plasma 5.5. It is a BIG problem that Plasma and KDE
don't offer CI like you have it in LibreOffice. When I don something in LO
I can push it to master and one day later I can install the daily build.

As always the right desicion is somewhere between only use LO and use
google docs or an specific propritory app.

When you link to calligra. The starting point about this mail was that I
start with breeze calligra icons and they want to find also other people to
join. In the end it is everywhere a small group how participate.

but would be cool to add some stuff that is usefull for our work into LO.

Re: [libreoffice-design] libre office vs numbers

[Roland Spitzlinger]

Hi Samuel,

I love to get my hands dirty. Just give me some time and I’ll send you some 
mockups. Obviously I believe the numbers sidebar is really well crafted, 
meaning, I will base my work on that. If that's too close to the apple UI, 
please let me know.
Apart from that I tend to follow the excellent elementary HIG.

Best wishes,
Roland

Re: [libreoffice-design] libre office vs numbers

[Samuel Mehrbrodt]

Hi Roland,

thanks for the screenshots.
Is there a chance you could get your hands dirty and try to improve the sidebar 
in calc yourself? We could lend you a hand if you like.

Or do you have specific suggestions, what should be improved? If you do not 
plan to work on things yourself, it would most likely be picked up by someone 
if you break your suggestions down into small, concrete enhancement suggestions 
filed in bugzilla.

Thanks a lot
Samuel

Re: [libreoffice-design] libre office vs numbers

[Pedro Rosmaninho]

Libre Office has design guidelines and you should stick to following those
ones instead of basing your contributions in design guidelines from other
software.
