Hi Armin,
getting bigger handles is good. But I'm not convinced, that
transparency is good. Please try the handles in a presentation, which
has a dark background, like some master pages in our new set.
LibreOffice has handles with transparency and I noticed, that they
cannot be seen so good as the bright handles of AOO.
Thanks for the Hint. The transparency is only at the *inner* of the
handles, the border is not transparent. I just tried with black, and it
looks not bad (added document OldNew2.odp and OldNew2.png). But you made
me aware of the rotation marker (the one where you can change the center
of rotation); that one needs some white to have contrast on black. Doing
this...
More helpful for exact positions than transparency would be snap
functions for handles and a tab in the size&position dialog for
entering values directly.
?!? The geometry snaps (with all possibilities available on optiopns
toolbar), what is the sense to snap handles, where their size is fixed
and thus has no real meaning relative to the zoom showed in the document?
Especially the 3D handles are really nice and it is good that you
show, what can be done in Draw.
Thanks! I knew you would like it :-)
Kind regards
Regina

Hi List,
I took the time and started to look technically and bitmap'ally at the
handles and how to make them some nicer, but also more useful (aka
slightly transparent). For deeper information, please see the task
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121463) I have opened for
it.
I know handles and how they look is a question of taste; I tried to
carefully alter them and did not take away any existiong options (two
sets, two sizes to choose from, plus HighContrast). To take a look,
follow the link to find the things I changed and the bitmaps in the
files referenced there.
P.S.: I actually used Draw and it's 3D engine to create the handles
before scaling them down in a bitmap program, it's all in there :-)
