My tests suggest that for printing in grayscale, the best choice from Sigrid's collection uses Clearlooks modified to use the Green 1 colour for highlighting and title bar backgrounds; it has very good contrast with the white text in title bars and highlighted menu selections. I used Liberation Sans at font size 11. The other parts of Clearlooks (grays and whites in dialog boxes) print clearly with good contrast. I would be very happy to see the Green 1 variation selected to be the standard LibreOffice theme. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
