Hi, Here goes some features proposals to improve OpenOffice UI.
- Create a popdown menu like the one of the "new" button but in the "open" button in witch will apear the recently opened documents. Delphi and Lazarus(lazarus.freepascal.org) already have something like this. - join the alignment buttons in one button with a popdown menu like coler choser button. You also see this in WordPerfect. - Create themes for the organization of menus and buttons. Examples of themes could be: "MS Offce, WordPerfect Office, OpenOffice.org, OpenOffice.org 1.x. This way people could change the layout to the one they are more used to, and the learning curve becomes small. WordPerfect Office already have something like this. - Make pssible to dock some windows in the rigth or/and left side of the main window like in CoreDraw e like the screenshot that goes attached to this mail. One tab should be created automaticaly for each window and note like i did, I just created a toolbar. The left-sidebar of Konqueror also does this. - Create a code editor like the formula editor but to be used by all OpenOffice application to edit the xml code like the one in wordPerfect. this is already one of the proposals of wp.openoffice.org. This will be very useful for Writer HTML. - Create something like Perfect Expert. Most of this feature are based in Corel WordPerfect Office(till 11, didn't tested lastest version) witch is much easy to use than MS Office and you should stop coping MS Office IU, please look more to worperfect. I know people that used MS Offce some years and when started using wordperfect said that it is much easier. I also read that Lotus SmartSuite and WordPerfect Office are the best Office suits but i didn't tested SmartSuite. Now I only use and recoment OpenOffice.org but i miss some feature and usability. Sorry for my bad english but i'm Portugese.
