Hi all, taking some "deep thoughts" about the designing of headers and footers for the new 4.0 documentation, playing around and looking on different technical and graphical guides to see how the headers and footers were made there, then I made some new proposals.
Have a look at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:K-j/Drafts/Documentation#Documentation Every chapter gets a coulored sign of the module about what the chapter is talking. The footer gets a new direction: - no black line as separator to text - The chapter's name is on the outer side of page with a separator to page number - On the left page I put the chapter (heading0), on the right page the heading1 to get a better orientation for user. If the guide is printed as a book in the current style it is much more difficult to read the chapter in the footer as it should be a point of orientation. I tried to play with three proposals (for writer only): - The writer logo; but I don't like it in that way. It looks like "horns". Maybe it should be put out of page line. But it is difficult because the icon very high and tall. - Only using the symbol of the writer icon. But we don't have good symbols for all parts, especially not for the general chapter. - A triangle. The first idea was to use a rectangle, but to get it better to Libo maybe we can use a triangle. When the coloured edge is printed as a whole book you will get a coloured tab at the outside of the book looking on the top and the right of the book (don't know how to call that exactly in English). I can send a photo for private. I made a screenshot to have a first look and a pdf to see, how it looks with some more pages. If you think we shouldn't change anything on header or footer, tell it please. But I think, the "old" style is an old style from the last century. -- Grüße k-j -- 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
