Along the same line, I would also like to see the possibility of overlaying (or underlaying) a background image to enhance the visual effect of Calc's (rather boring) sheet. Note that such background image is not printable, so it's only for display. And it wouldn't scroll with the sheet; it stays at the fixed position, or may be aligned with the frame so that it moves when the app's frame gets resized. I think this would be a nice PR feature, don't ya think ? ;-) http://idea.opensuse.org/content/ideas/oo.o-calc-with-background-sheet-picture Kohei --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
