Hi Mirek, all, sorry for the OT stuff here... this is just re: personas.

Well, we do have a bit of a problem here, as LibreOffice doesn't contain a browser... The clever thing that Mozilla does to promote its personas feature is to occasionally put links to the personas page on the about:start homepage and the Firefox first-start page. This is how people are usually informed of the existence of the feature. The fact that you can try a persona on without even clicking on it also really helps avoid people having to think too hard about it. In LibO, personas are exclusively available through an options panel. Since most people haven't ever looked at LibO's options, they of course won't see the feature. *being devil's advocate* One could try shipping a default persona. The only problem with that approach is that it won't help at all with making the feature discoverable to the casual users [1] that might perhaps most appreciate it (since those people still won't look at the Options dialogue). What we risk by bundling a persona by default, though, is that people will be blocked in their work by having to look for some less annoying as a background/turning the personas feature off. Or even switching to something else to do their office work, I guess. If we do bundle one, I would suggest, we go with something greyish again – under no circumstances should we introduce green/logos etc. Astron. [1] Not really sure if that's the intended audience – but to me it seems so, as "power users" would probably rather alter behaviour by installing extensions than doing fancy things with their toolbar background. I realise, I could be totally wrong here, though. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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
