While Stuart agrees, Roman, > Cor and me would recommend to keep it short ... short where? In the sidebar tooltip? Because other than that, it's icons. Also, why is "Fill format mode" considered short enough, but "Drawing Object Style" isn't? > Precision is not always an improvement for usability. Perhaps, but truth, as opposed to untruth, is. A "Drawing style" is not a style of drawing. > Cor and me would recommend to keep it ... simple. "Drawing style" is short, but it would only be simple if it were true - which it isn't. This reminds me of the "heading"/"outline"/"chapter" numbering conundrum. It's very short and simple to talk about "chapter numbering"; but - it's not true. "Drawing object style" is simple, because the user knows about objects. They align objects. They insert objects. They have drawing object properties toolbar ... ... hmm. Now that I think about it, maybe I'm over fixated on "Drawing Objects". While this is still a pretty good choice of name, I was assuming we need to keep the word "drawing". Maybe, instead, we should call them "shape styles". The word "shapes" appears more often in the UI than "Drawing object": * Shape menu * Arrow shapes, star shapes etc menubutton * Navigator shows shapes so that's something to consider as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
