Hi everyone, As I haven't been able to attend most of the chat, I'll put my opinion of certain ideas that were tossed around here: "[13:08] <alexanderW> Should that popover only be used for colors or also pictures and patterns?" The scope asks for gradients and patterns. I understood it as "shape fill", in which case image fill is also relevant.
"[13:15] <Android272> with the gradients, they would be horrible with small text." Gradient fill, pattern fill, and image fill should only show up for certain objects. Not text. "[13:26] <alexanderW> - recent and document colors are shown below the selected palette" I disagree with showing document colors below the palette. A Draw drawing is likely to use a multitude of colors, and it would be painful for the user if he had to look through the document colors using left and right arrows within a small section below the palette. I would prefer to keep document colors as a section within the dropdown. "[13:26] <alexanderW> - custom colors would either be shown like recent and document colors or as a seperate palette" What do you mean by custom colors? Do you mean user-defined colors that apply only to the document? If that's the case, then there's no need to have a separate section for these -- all of them should be covered by the "Document colors" section. Or do you mean user-defined colors that are meant to be preserved within LibreOffice? In that case, the user should create their own palette instead and add their own colors. Or they could modify a current palette. "[13:29] <astron5> one of the things that i think i as a user would be uncomfortable with is that everything is in a hover window though..." I understand. The idea was that the pop-over would resume state when reopened. If you think it will be an issue, though, the dropdown menu could house a "Manage palettes..." item that would launch a dialog. This should be a modal dialog -- managing palettes is a workflow separate from working on the document. "[13:41] <astron5> however, defining a colour is more involving in and of itself and you dont want to lose that "work" just because you clicked somewhere else." Defining a color for one-time use (through the "custom color" section of the pop-over) would apply changes in real time, so no work would be lost by clicking elsewhere. "[13:37] <Android272> well I think that mite be what the x in the corner may be fore. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:C-libre.png"; The "X" represents no color. "Automatic" is the label that goes with the icon. "[14:02] <@Maggie> I'm thinking of a proposal for a minimal window mode." Sounds good. Do keep it on your user page, though, until we wade through all the current whiteboards. Unless an interested developer comes along, of course. :) -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
