How about this for question 8? Q: 8. "When is OpenOffice going to get a visual refresh and be built with each OSes native widgets?" A: Visual refresh is part of our continuous effort on user experience improvement. It is a challenge work to innovate with modern UI vs. support gradual transformation of huge amount of existing users, leverage OSes native widgets vs. keep consistent L&F across platforms. Our UX designers and developers are working together on it, and you will notice some improvements in 4.0 which is coming around 2nd quarter. The more feedback we get from you, the better design we can make.
Hope Kevin Grignon and other UX people can add better words... - Shenfeng (Simon) 2013/1/4 Kay Schenk <[email protected]> > > > On 01/03/2013 11:16 AM, Rob Weir wrote: > >> On Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 1:58 PM, Drew Jensen <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> I wasn't looking, or thinking about AOO for a few months - missed the >>> switch. >>> >>> >> The old one was for product ideas.
