Can you define for me what everyone means when they say cleaned up UI? I don't see a dramatic difference, unless I just wasn't that picky before.
"Really?" I said "What's so great about it?" -- I was expecting him to say "the conference tools are amazing!" or "it's so much faster" or something relating to performance. However, he said...
"The colors are so KEWL! It's very cool looking!"
Part of me died inside.
Okay, I guess, I don't necessarily looks at those things very closely, but I am glad we have improved.
Another thing is the removal of the ghastly URL bar. That ugly stupid thing took up way too much space and served absolutely no purpose. Maybe I could have removed it before, but I shouldn't have to. And obviously, the programmers agreed with me about that, and ditched it. It was left hanging there without explaination and without use for a long time, and very few users touched it, much less found it helpful. It should have been removed, and now it is.
I guess this is another feature we agree on. I liked it before, and thankfully it isn't gone, it is just not the default, but now that the file name is in the Title Bar, I guess it is less necessary.
the iconic switching between modes (I love that one).
What does this mean?
There is an icon (iconic) that you can click on to switch (switching) between (between) the different interfaces of OOo (modes). In other words, the little deally that lets me go from Writer to Calc to Impress to Writer to Draw to Calc to Draw to Impress to Math to HTML editor to Writer ... all without typing or opening a menu. it's the wavy thing on your toolbar.
I don't know if you are being serious or what with this (and the next comment) I don't see any wavy line, and you indignant little words in parenthesis above are not necessary.
the new paste-special shortcut
Yeah, I forgot to mention that one. That thing changed the way I live. I've added that to every word processing program I use. That's the coolest little trick ever!
Why do you need to do this? Does it make you feel better to belittle others? I used to think you were like a nice person who tried to bring perspective and intelligence to the forums. Now I see I was wrong. You have dropped by a level in my book (not that you probably care).
