Hi Astron, Cedric and Christophe, Thanks for your replies.
Astron: 1) Thanks again for your effort. The new handles look very slick :). Maybe the anchor should have a more colorful icon. I could imagine to use the LO Writer blue as a background and a transparent border like the handles have. 2) I know this sidebar, but in my opinion its missing this option to customize the styles. What I have in mind is aiming a bit for something like the Citrus UI, where the styles could be selected from a dropdown-menu in the toolbar. Regarding the fact that my current proposal is a bit overwhelming: My first proposal was that simple, but someone on this mailing list mentioned that he'd like to use other patterns too. So should we go for simplicity instead? Cedric: Thanks a lot for your offering :) I hope we come a result that pleases everyone soon so we could see this in 3.5, too. Christophe: Thats exactly what I had in mind. I wonder whether one should be able to specify more in another dialogue like e.g. different fonts for alternating columns/rows etc. and a simple popup-dialogue for changing the colors quickly.

Is there anything that should be changed? (...) I notice a name field at the bottom of the dialog. If the author enters a name for the table style in that field, will it be possible to retrieve that name somewhere else in the LibreOffice UI in order to apply it to another table? The Styles and Formatting panel in Writer currently distinguishes between Paragraph Styles, Character Styles, Frame Styles, Page Styles and List Styles. Will a Table Styles category be added there? Or will the list of styles be available in the Insert Table dialog? I am asking this because some authors would like to use table styles for something else than simply applying colours. In the context of accessibility, one could create a style for tables that should be read column by column instead of row by row, for example when converted into a DAISY book.
