I like the increased paragraph spacing, but the smaller type size seems less legible for me. 12pt font is easier to see and more comfortable to read in a single-column layout. [1] Captions, on the other hand, could be smaller, as they complement the content, and could use less line spacing, to be visually closer to the content. The subtitle could be closer to the title for the same reason. Heading 7 could use some differentiation from the other headings. The sans serif font was enough differentiation in the old template. I would prefer it if headings used a sans serif font. I really like what Google Docs does: it uses gray for the later titles, so that they stand out. In any case, I started a whiteboard for this: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Default_Template . It'd be good to establish the typographical rules people should keep in mind when designing the new template and to add some relevant art (e.g. default templates in other software) before moving onto the proposal phase. [1] Paragraphs should fit somewhere between two to three alphabets per line: http://markboulton.co.uk/journal/five-simple-steps-to-better-typography -- To unsubscribe 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
