The order of preference is: Linux, Mac OS X, Windows. Most important is to use a neutral (primarily silver, grey or similar) theme with high contrast (such as the so-called "XP-Silver" theme one of our team put together for Ubuntu several years ago) and the Galaxy icon set. See here for a bit more info: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Production#Sample_screenshots Recently we had a discussion about whether the "XP-Silver" theme would install on Ubuntu 11.10 (and how to do it). I don't recall what the outcome was. IMO the Radiance and Adwaita themes on Ubuntu 11.10 are okay, though not quite as good as the old "XP-Silver". I intend to update Chapter 2, Producing LibreOffice User Guides, of the Contributors’ Guide with this information if we get it resolved and I ever find time. (Or someone else can update the chapter; but I don't think I've even brought in Hazel's edits from some months ago.) --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
