I know that there are many people that prefer the simple interface of the
current or past OO interface. I don't want you to take away that option for
them. However, I am one that would prefer a more modern interface. I find the
grey color(s) very boring and so last century. I would like the option of
changing the menu areas (and other similar areas) into a variety of other
colors like Black, Blue (light and dark), and neon green. It would also be
nice to be able to skin it, like you can with WinAmp. Can someone create a
program where people can create their own skins???
I have discovered that we can change the color of the page and the color around
the page(s). However these are only solid colors. I would like the option to
import a photo as the page background.
Although the buttons look fine the way they are, I would prefer buttons that
are more "cool." It would be nice if we had more "bubbily" options in
buttons. On various websites, for example, various people have created ICON
sets. One example of this is a Batman themed Hard Drive set. One day, it
would be cool if I could download and install a Batman themed floppy disk and
use that as my SAVE or SAVE AS button. Or better yet, since no one uses
floppies any more, why not make it a HDD or flash drive now.
I know the GUI isn't the #1 issue to worry about, but maybe it's at least in
the top 20.
The only part of OO that I use at the moment is the Writer. Is there any
chance that OO can create a smaller download file for those of us who just want
the Writer, and not the whole suite??? That would be sweet! It would be a
quicker download (using less bandwidth and server) and a quicker install.
Thanks!
