Hi Nik! Wow, your last proposals are actually great! I still don't feel the "motif" feeling, but I think all them (specially the 6th) should be officially used in our work. They have quality enough to this, but still are too general to make me think on "LibreOffice" when I see them. But I think they are very promissing and define good approach to our motif!
Just now some ideas are coming to my mind and if I'd have time tonight I'll make some proposals based on yours. By the way, I'm very excited to comment on the others motif's proposals. This page is becoming a place full of good ideas! :-D http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Motif ~Paulo -- Paulo José O. Amaro Estudante de Ciência da Computação / UFSJ Webdesigner / Linked E.J.
