        So - one thing that I (personally) rather dislike is this "bold /
italic / underline" meme that still lurks heavily in new UI designs.
IMHO these need to be firmly held underwater until they expire ;-)

Thanks a lot for highlighting this Michael. I also wish this wicked witch were dead.


Good
mockups around making styles more visible and manageable, creating (and
customizing) new styles [ which can indeed include the
bold/italic/underline elements ;-] much appreciated for that.

Last month there was a short thread on the LibreOffice-design list about how the UI of LibreOffice could be modified to encourage the correct use of styles (as opposed to ad-hoc styling). (The thread started at <http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/msg03586.html>.) We should continue thinking about this.


        Otherwise, some good ideas there. Do we have excitable people wanting
to do UI work in Java - that we can plug together with the core in due
course ? it'd be great to parallelise that work.



Best regards,

Christophe
