Digital signature: Useless for most users, i think we should hide it somewhere. Document modification: Someone suggested to put an asterisk on the title like other programs, i think the same thing. Insertion / selection modes: I played around with them for a while and they are generally useless, you can do all of that with basic keyboard shortcuts. Also, most users have no idea of the meaning of the weird abbreviations in the bottom. I say we remove it. Page: Maybe you can use this... somehow, i'd say we take it out too. Visualization mode: if it was a selector it'd be ok... in the view menu, or the toolbar. But a simple indicator is quite useless since all you have to do to know what mode you are on is look at the screen. That goes for most programs, now to the specifics. In Calc: Sheet: The sheet selection is right above it, no rel need for "sheet x of x" Sum: I think this shows the value of the selected rectangle, which you can see inside the rectangle, no need for it either. I see other 2 spaces in the status bar that have been blank all the time i have worked in Calc, i think that if they are not needed for basic work the shouldn't be in the status bar, at least no by default. In Impress: Position and size: How could you use that? These things are usually done by eye, most people don't use it, i think it should go too. Template: No one ever bothers on checking this out, you usually choose the template you like without ever caring about it's name. Tool in use: Oh, really? i'm re-sizing this circle? i would have never thought of it, Thank you status bar! this is soooo useful! There's also a blank item in here. Draw: Slides: same as page and sheet. Blank space: | | Tool in use: oh! i'm selecting a shape! wow! -- 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
