Hi Alexander,

Anyway, I would have loved to hear some feedback from you (as you proposed the change). By the way, Postler apparently did munch your mail – you only posted once when you said you triple-posted. > Another one of my suggestions was to include a dialogue to customize a table > style. Thats my mock-up: > https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Alexander_Wilms#Mock-ups > > What to you think? Is there anything that should be changed?

And would it be > possible to code it once and use it in Calc, Impress and Writer (and maybe > Base, haven't used it yet)? a) I am not a dev (IANAD), but while the dialogue itself (i. e. the graphical representation) could most likely be reused in all applications, I guess that much of the rest would have to be implemented two or three times. b) I like your idea, but please take a look at the current implementation of this feature in Draw/Impress: on the right sidebar, click "Table Design." I think it is more intuitive (because its changes are immediate and it's also closer to the actual table without getting in the way) and all it really needs is a little separate colour chooser dialogue where you can select three colours (header, light bands, dark bands), so people can choose non-standard colours. Your mock-up on the other hand is really a bit complicated (and will in some cases lead users to not very attractive end results (too many colours). In that it kind of reminds of the (awesome, no doubt, but very overbearing) Edit → Duplicate dialogue of Impress. I think our best bet to get something like Impress's feature implemented in Calc and Writer would be to port Impress's sidebar implementation to these applications.
