Hi, A few days ago, Alexander Wilms asked about new handles... So, I created some. It would be great if you could try them.
* Before: make sure you have a recent LibO 3.5 nightly (contains a patch for alpha transparency of handles) [1] installed. * To install: Download the modified Tango theme file from: https://rapidshare.com/files/2070302141/images_tango.zip [2]. Replace the file images_tango.zip contained in (LibO folder [3])/share/config/ with the newly downloaded version of it. If you only see a single file there, it might be best to replace this file (just rename the file downloaded from Rapidshare). *To use: Make sure you use the Tango theme (default in most cases, except Ubuntu, I think) ** Make sure to enable "Simple handles" and "Large handles" in all applications you want to try (small handles will also work, but will look extremely small). What's different? * There is a 1px translucent white border around most handles, so you can easily see them on similarly coloured backgrounds (this sadly makes all handles look smaller than they are -- I hope this is not too much of a problem) * Most handles are themselves translucent, so e.g. when modifying curves you can see the nodes through the handles. * The handles use Tango colours (so they should be well integrated into our default theme). What's still buggy? * There is a little blue cross that appears when moving glue points. I have no idea how that can be themed. * All handles are resized to (n-1)px * (n-1)px of their nominal size, this makes them look more fuzzy than need be. (This is a LibO bug, I hope it gets fixed in the next few days.) Feedback very welcome. Also, what would be great if someone would create a matching set of handles for the Galaxy theme (or other themes that interest you). I've uploaded the SVG "templates" here: https://rapidshare.com/files/4141957015/templates.zip All the handles that are not contained in the set of "Tango" handles I created should be unnecessary (but I can't guarantee that, so if you want to make very sure you have everything, do create all).
