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.
