--- Comment #6 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #5) > We discussed the topic in the design meeting and there was a broad consensus > about this additional button in favor of convenience over simplicity. Another point which was made during the discussion is that of enabling this more uniformly: There are several menubuttons which offer a part of the functionality accessible from a fuller dialog: Borders is one, but we also have: * Line Width * Line Style * Border Style (in Calc at least) * Line spacing * Line Ends (Drawing toolbar) * Underlyine style * Numbering / Ordered List * Bulleting / Unordered List some of these offer _no_ facility for opening the full-featured dialog; others offer differing facilities, e.g. bottom bar-button with or without an icon. It would possibly be useful to unify the way one access the full set of properties. A uniform "UI idiom" would make the visibility of such a UI element feel less crowding. This exists in MSO, where each region within one of the ribbons (or at least the regions of some of the ribbons) has a tiny square gadget at the bottom-left corner, which, when clicked, opens the relevant dialog. IMNSHO, it seems the obvious candidates for such a uniform mechanism for us are: 1. Bottom bar/button 2. Small gadget on the "title bar" of the menubutton's menu/pane. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
