For sure we can drop current templates, but we also have to check that the
new templates have good quality.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Two-years plan

[kainz.a]

Hi All,

Thanks for coming up with this topic, Heiko. The idea came to my mind after
the discussion about a dialogue about the different UI / notebookbar
implementations, where we discuss reducing the notebookbar implementations,
... I work very long on the different notebookbars and had always in mind
to find a good solution for users AND developers. Which means that if there
was a bug I made compromises cause there was no developer available, ... In
the end nobody knows what to do with all this work. So I think it would be
way more useful to make some targets and work on them instead of doing
whatever you want and in the end nobody wants it.

My general ideas for goals for a 2 year plan are:
- find general UI solutions (HIG's) where ALL community members will work
on.
- define targets (meta bugs) where developers and designers will work on.
- reduce different UI layouts to simplify the UI.

Some more specific goals:
- define the UI for desktop, mobile, tablet and web (LOOL) so that we have
a unify "brand/layout"
- have one theming engine for the different platforms which fit mobile,
desktop, online, color scheme, ...

I'm happy to work on any goal doesn't matter if it's from community, CIB,
Colabora, ...

cheers

Re: [libreoffice-design] Next year's GSoC project

That's great!

I'm for a mix between Find & Replace with Functions deck and the navigator.
Will send a proposal about this global search idea.

Once again, great that GSOC is a success.

I'm for have more presets in core (3x9) instead of less (3x4) cause it's
not so easy make/find good presets and if you have a look at other office
suites they offer way more presets than we. Also I think the presets from
the bug report are good quality.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Open Badges

[kainz.a]

Hi

I have some proposals for badges

As we need around 100 different badges and it's much work and not really
flexible to make for each subsection a new badge I recommend to use Text to
make the different badges. This will help us to make individual badges and
we have a unified look.

SysAdmin badge there you can see it's for LibreOffice (it use also the LO
shape) for SysAdmin work you get 3 stars and it's part of the InfraTeam.
It's clear simple, use the LO brands and will fit also an proposal for new
app icons.
https://imgur.com/PrXC2dx

This is how it would look like for the Group Design Team. Each Team has an
specific shape in the center.
https://imgur.com/qFd1CX1

Variant with different shapes
https://imgur.com/LNLvsE4 (I like this more than the next one)
https://imgur.com/TPMPr14
"problem" is that with 3 out of 5 stars the badget get an rating (you could
be better)

If you like different colors for the rating, this is how it would look
like.
https://imgur.com/zcalfnK

If you will have something that's more wide than high,
similar to the LibO branding (maybe branding issues)
https://imgur.com/a5jQoIG
with the shield
https://imgur.com/JFs40hN

All the images will work also very well as sticker for our sticker contest.

the issue is, we don't have any automatic tracking features in LibO so it's
very, very difficult to track what is usefull, what not, what is an common
task that is not so easy in LibO than in other apps, ...

So have some standardized tests for the users, could help. In addition
maybe we can work here together with universities where students learn how
to make such kind of tests and analyse them.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Open Badges

[kainz.a]

As already written I like the shield layout and about the categories we can
use crowns or banners like it was done for origin coat of arms. I'm not
sure if you'd like to mix different contents but at shield's it's not a big
issue to have 2, 4 elements on it.

https://imgur.com/a/P6iploI

as I'd like to update the LibO app icon, I propos an more simple background
and I think the donkey ear is to big. In addition I read from time to time,
the donkey ear should be used only for TDF.

I like the shield logos on whiteboard. Maybe with bright colors and fine.

As in libo each app has it's specific color, I would suggest to have for
each part an specific color. Eg. From the standard color palette, cause
branding is for app and mime icons.

Have fun

Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Material Color Palette

[kainz.a]

there are now 6 color paletts installed in LibO
1. chart
2. freecolour-hlc
3. html
4. libreoffice
5. standard
6. tonal

chart is not really an color platte, it's there for charts in general.
LibreOffice has the branding colors and was used to generate marketing
materials for LibO so it's more an internal palett. html is an full palett
but the target is in general html stuff. freecolour-hlc is really cool but
has 1.000 colors so the average user may need some color  space background.

So in general there are the standard and tonal color paletts available to
do tasks for writer, calc, draw and impress. that was also the reason to
add material palett cause it's well known and you have a well designed
palett for drawing stuff in draw, make shape styles for impress or make
nice tables and charts in chart.

cheers

can you talk about

* Change default Grid for Draw and other LibO apps
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125275
+ In daw it's now 1 cm with 10 subdivisions so 1 mm grid,
   I think it's to tiny cause ordinary only snap to grid is activated
   and as user you can't align some elements according to an 1mm grid.
=> I suggest an 10 mm grid and 4 subdivisions
 cause 2.5 mm difference between shapes you see on an A4 page.

Nice that you start with redesign the configure dialogue.

I am not a fan of switch between simple and advanced.
1. I'm an advanced user? Or an dummy user? We have the separation between
fresh and still release. Divide users or settings into two groups is very
difficult and for the user the 1st thing to define before the user start
configure stuff.
2. Maintenance

I am for simple by default for everybody and advanced configure hide behind
an button or in an sidebar section where the user see, I don't want to
touch (e.g. open gl).

For the general layout I would use existing design elements. Like:

- Sidebar in configure dialogue look like navigator in libo.
- settings are structured and layouted like an writer document
- therefore the general dialogue size has to be more adaptable, or have the
same size than the libo document.

maybe it's true, but I would prefer to have first level support for open

Have the same (or better) functionality with open source solutions would be
way cooler (maybe in cooperation with LOOL and Cloud storage.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Agenda for the design/UX meeting 2019-Feb-06 (Wed)

I use only real databases in enterprise and connect them via a webserver to
writer cause my main documents are writer files and some basic parameters
comes from the databases.

The good thing is that I can separate the database stuff from the user
stuff. So the user can write the documents, make the layout, ... and can
use the values from the databases. You only have to link the file with the
database query.

I would love to see some improvements in this direction, not only we are
not compatible with mso. Nobody like macros so we don't have to copy it but
offer an better solution, could improve our situation.

[libreoffice-design] Notebookbar out of Experimental

[kainz.a]

Hi,

I know the notebookbar implementation has bugs but it's under development
since around 4 years and on each release the news pages wrote about this
experimental feature.

I talked at Munich Hackfest about the big open bugs
- bad keyboard navigation
you can use F6 like in every other LibO app (F6 switch from Menubar to
Toolbar to NB to Sidebar), but it would be awesome if
svtlo-ManagedMenuButton will support keyboard shortcut focus if menubar is
hidden and also sfxlo-NotebookbarToolBox widgets which was used to add the
different uno commands didn't work with F6 -> tab
I hope to get some patches to fix this issue, you are welcome to help.

- chart didn't support NB
the chart bug (if you open an chart in writer you see the notebookbar and
the toolbar) can be fixed by add an NB to chart module (which I can do) and
use this NB instead of the chart toolbar. But there is no progress in this
change cause chart if different from other modules.

- OS-X glitches
on OS-X there are several UI issues. I don't have an Mac so I can't say to
much.

The biggest issue is that there is NO developer working on the NB stuff. We
talk each release to bring NB out of experimental. As there is no real
progress (excluding the ui files) I recommend to bring some implementations
(tabbed, groupedbar) ouf of experimental for 6.2. Than we get more user
feedback and maybe some new developers.

cheers
Andreas_K

For me the next step would be to get feedback how will help to update the

I will help. My skills are design stuff. I know css and php.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Topic for design team to investigate: Content hosting consolidation on ask.libreoffice.org

[kainz.a]

When I look at popular webpages where you can share your content like image
webpages, openclipart, ... they are all very simple.

One overview page with Screenshots and description how is the developer and
categories.

Upload page with uploader, title, description, category and licence. Maybe
tested with version.

Detail page show the selected item and related stuff like other stuff from
user, related things.

Page moderator can edit categories and block content.

Users can rate and review stuff. Maybe it could be useful that users can
submit updates and the origin contributor can review it or update it. So
something like collaborative work.

Contributors have an profile with links to payment pages like patrons, ...
on each template or extensions page you see user information and patron
page links.

The page can be used for extensions, templates, documentations, ...

Nice things would be to have something like a connection to libreoffice
online where you can see if the template, extensions work (for page
moderators).

Categories: each app is an category and than some (not more than 10) other
categories.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Topic for design team to investigate: Content hosting consolidation on ask.libreoffice.org

[kainz.a]

HI,

for the basic UX there are still some ideas from the design team
https://docs.google.com/document/d/12dbdmzi3dy5TwNsIao0MXZSnl7X4jMk5zKwy8Azeohg
(sorry that it is on gdocs)

I also want to say if we have an good extension layout for templates
it can be used also for the documentation webpage
cause both show the same content templates show an template to download
and bocumentation show an book, ... whatever to download.

And please keep it simple. Define the different users and what they want.
LibO user: Install the extension and keep it up to date
Template contributor: Share his template, don't care about LibO version
extension contributor: Extend LibO functionality
Maintainer: Easy setup with collaborative workflow

I'm sorry that Andi didn't join the discussion,
cause it should support his work
and hopefully find new contributors.

Cheers
Andreas

Re: [libreoffice-design] Topic for design team to investigate: Content hosting consolidation on ask.libreoffice.org

[kainz.a]

Hi,

first thanks for ask the question about the extension webpage. And thanks
to Andi that he maintain the page since a long time now.

I'm always for concentrate stuff as it's easier to maintain and easier for
people to use.

For me templates and extension didn't have the same "developer" group.
extensions should have ongoing releases so a git orientated workflow is
more usefull. The source of a lot extensions are on githab or gitlab, ...
Templates will be done by office users so an simple upload will be usefull.

From design point of view I would love to have everything together on
libreoffice.org everywhere the same css file and the same layout.

Another big question is about development. Which platform supports a
community orientated development, which mean when there is a group how do
they work together on the webpage / platform. As example Andi do the
extension page maintanance someone would like to play around with different
design layouts, does the platform support cooperative work and an
"playground" for new developments?

Cheers
Andreas Kainz

As long as there is no developer how will do bugfixing for at least 2
releases we don't have to talk about change defaults.

Maybe we can show an startup configuration dialogue or like ubuntu did show

Re: Notebookbar in LibreOffice 6.2 Re: [libreoffice-design] Notebookbar status for LibreOffice 6.1

[kainz.a]

Hi Cor

There are two bugs that should be fixed first.

1. Keyboard navigation didn't work well
2. Chart module don't respect NB. Add an chart to writer and see the issue.

but the main issue is, there is NO developer how will fix bugs when nb is
out of experimental. This has to be fixed first. If there is one dev how
care about upcoming bugs than nb can be out of experimental and than I be
motivated to finish the nb work, cause there is some work missing like nb
for draw.

If you find a developer, let me know, than it would be a pleasure for me to
work with her/him. It would be the right time to start now for 6.2

Cheers
Andreas_k

Pedro,

you are absolute right. When you have a look at oxygen icons they were
dropped cause there was no maintainer available since years. after they
were dropped a new designer say he want to maintain.

In general a CLEAR statement why something will be dropped is better than
have something that is broken.

I am not sure how many work firefox personas are. In general l would prefer
different color schemes instead of personas.

[libreoffice-design] Fwd: Colibre SVG issues

[kainz.a]

HiDPI issues


-- Forwarded message --
From: Luís Camacho 
Date: 2018-08-10 12:51 GMT+02:00
Subject: Colibre SVG issues
To: "kain...@gmail.com" 


Hi!



I just installed LibreOffice 6.1 on my Surface Pro 4 and it was working
fine. Since this is a HiDPI screen I replaced the default Colibre theme
(png images) with the one you provide in your blog (svg images). The icons
are indeed a lot more crisp, but I ran into three problems:

   - Initially the icons were still low resolution
   - Some of the icons get colour corrupted, seems to happen randomly to
   different icons with each launch
   - Much more importantly, all check boxes and radio boxes disappear in
   the options dialog!



The first issue was easy to determine the cause and solve. I installed
LibreOffice, then chose your theme as it came installed, I noticed the
icons were low resolution and replaced the icon zip the with svg version.
But LibreOffice keeps a cache of theme icons in
%appdata%\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\cache so you need to delete the Colibre
folder inside so the cache is rebuilt with higher resolution icons.



The second issue seems to be within LibreOffice itself, maybe the svg
themes support is still rather buggy? But then again it seems like
LibrOffice is using a cached version that’s png again... Maybe it’s
generating buggy/corrupt pngs?



The third issue is the most important, and it may be caused by something in
your icons.

After what happened in the Surface Pro I suspected the svg icons were the
culprit since LibreOffice was working fine until I installed them and
cleared the cache.



I installed LibreOffice on my desktop PC next, and this time I replaced
your png icons with the svg version before the first launch. Sure enough
the check boxes and radio boxes no longer showed up, even though your theme
was never used in this machine!

Nonetheless I selected your theme and restarted LibreOffice just to be
sure, the issue remained. Next I’ve used the Windows Control Panel to
repair the installation of LibreOffice and restore the original png version
of your icons, and the issue is now solved.



I went back to the Surface Pro, replaced the svg icon pack with the default
one, cleared the icon cache as mentioned above, and the issue disappeared
as well.



I believe the check marks and radio marks used inside check/radio boxes are
theme dependent, correct? It might be they’re too large, or too small, in
the svg version? I can’t know for sure what’s happening, but I thought it
might be better to let you know this issue, and maybe my troubleshooting
will help you determine what’s going on.



Thanks!

Morning

That's a good plan. I would go with 2-3 people (hopefully). But 3
playgrounds should be enough.

The design team discussion is ordinary at #libreoffice-design

Thanks a lot

[libreoffice-design] Re: Extension webpage layout update

[kainz.a]

Hi Mantke,

is it possible that the LibreOffice design team can play around with the
css files of the extension webpage? I'm thinking of a subfolder where we
can have write access and play around with the extension webpage theme. So
something like a live design playground.

thanks for your feedback

Re: [libreoffice-design] Agenda for the design/UX meeting 2018-Aug-08

[kainz.a]

About the styles I commented in the bug report.

General I'm all for have more styles. eg. for text writing draw and impress
are very limited I know that not everybody use styles but for draw it is
really usefull to use styles and if you think on pdf editing (what draw can
be) some usefull text styles would be cool. I recommend to use the text
styles from writer menubar (maybe will less bullet text styles cause
bullets and draw aren't best friends).

I don't see an difference between write text in draw or writer it should be
fit well together (when you draw an flowchart which you import to writer).
Also the shape styles from draw should be available in writer.

I don't think that disabled (not available) actions should be available in
the menubar. But the arrangement (sorting and grouping) should be
everywhere the same.

[libreoffice-design] Menubar

[kainz.a]

Hi

Jay has updated some times ago the menubar.xml files for writer, calc and
impress. Overall there are 20 menubar.xml files. I'd like to sync them with
the existing work from Jay.

Easiest way to discuss are via gerrit. I will do tiny patches. If someone
would like to help, let me know I will ad you as reviewer.

Cheers
Andreas Kainz

the grid isn't really usefull in LibreOffice and the main reason is that
it's not really visible. I prefer the grid in Inkscape but in LibreOffice
it's not really useful.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Notebookbar status for LibreOffice 6.1

[kainz.a]

Nr. 1 and 2 can I fix as fare as I know isn't it. So can you make a mockup
Pedro and let's fix it.

Excluding that the issue is that there is no dev available to do bugfixing.
Hope the GSOC student can fix something but since now the output isn't high.

Another question is, should we announce an feature where no dev is working
on it?

Re: [libreoffice-design] Notebookbar status for LibreOffice 6.1

[kainz.a]

Hi,

Groupedbar and Tabbedbar's are ready. I already update the UI so that they
can be "released". Groupedbar and Tabbedbar has a full and a compact view.

Groupedbar and Tabbedbar's were tested with Colibre icon theme. All actions
has an Icon, Icon + Label or Label only.

For switch between different User Interfaces there is a Menu button on the
top right. Tabbedbar has in addition on the top left an show menubar icon.

Contextual Groups (called Heikobar) and Contextual Single didn't get an
update.
- Contextual Single should be removed from the build cause it's only an
design study where many stuff is missing.
- Contextual Groups need an update or should be turned off until it will be
updated, cause if the menubar is turned off you can't switch the UI (you
have to delate your profile or whatever). The problem is that it's the
first in the list.

Design wise Notebookbar waiting for testers. The problem is, that there are
open bugs so the developers can't move the feature out of experimental.

In a movie I would show the different idea behind tabbedbar (where your
content is grouped in tabbs) and groupedbars (where all "main" content is
always available and the rest in the drop dowm group label.

User feedback is really needed!

About menu

The menu structure in writer is really good after jays work. As Jay didn't
finish the job is someone interested to update the menu for the other
applications?

At least the structure should be similar to writer.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Minutes from the design meeting 2018/Mar/28

[kainz.a]

First I don't think we need a default cause default is the standard
toolbars and all others aren't default arranged in a list.

If one should be preferred I go with tabbed toolbar cause the concept is
well known since 10 years and it scale pretty well. Groupedbar is for my
workflow better but I use a 24" uhdpi office screen on the 12" laptop I
would use tabbedbar or tabbed compact.

In the end the main question is how we guarantee that new features get
implemented in the different implementations.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Merged Toolbar/Notebookbar menu

[kainz.a]

What's the difference between toolbars, sidebar and notebookbars. They are
different from a dev point of view but from a user perspective they
shouldn't be separate.

So from my point of view no prefix

but as you ordinary don't want to switch the UI often (you have one
work-flow) I'm for a section in the configuration dialog where there is
also some explanation.

In addition the section is the menubar is needed (also for some notebookbar
implementation this drop down list was used).

Add the different layouts into the configuration dialog give also the
information what's a notebookbar and a standard toolbar (the icon size can
be different configured).

Cheers

You made the UI file with Glade a GUI design app from the gnome project.
It's "cool" but definitly not the way a user can edit the UI. Also the
sidebar items aren't configurable. For now there is no way to edit the
Notebookbar as a LO user. Maybe in the future, ...

Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Agenda for the design meeting 2018 Mar/21

[kainz.a]

Hi Pedro,

thanks for the Notebookbar buglist. We have a GSOC Student how will work on
notebookbar so it's also my dream that notebookbar will be awaiy from
experimental. My dream would be also 6.1 but I hope it will happen at least
with 6.2.

As the notebookbar is different implemented then the default and sidebar
layout I don't think it should be default in the near future. Bigest
problem is that when the NB bugs are fixed the NB isn't configurable by the
LO UI.

But I hopen NB will be ready for use in the near future for the people how
will like it.

I know zereo about coding, but I did the Groupedbar full/compact and
tabbedbar compact. So you don't need ANY coding experience to join the LO
design group on telegram or anywhere else. You can make notebookbars
without coding with the gnome glade app which is a GUI to make the
notebookbar.

Cheers
Andreas_K

Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Agenda for the design meeting 2018 Mar/21

[kainz.a]

*Colibre backport for 6.0 to get a bigger audience*
+1 stuart

backport the zip file for the icon theme would'n be a big deal
but introduce a new default without a previous release could be an issue.

As already written Colibre follow the icon guidelines from MSO
and since yesterday Colibre is complete. So now I'll make design fixes
and when someone find a missing icon, I'll happy to fix it.

*One icon theme for all platforms*
-1 heiko

In general it's a good idea to have a brand or cooperate design,
but we have Breeze for KDE/Plasma, Tango for Gnome,
Elementary for Elementary and Colibre for Windows.
In addition LibreOffice use also the platform style (gnome, kde, windows)
so when you want one icon theme, than you should make also only one style.

As I wrote I'm not again move icon themes to the extension wepage,
but than LO should also get a unique design and don't fit each platform
as much as possible.


*Galaxy and Tango*

Galaxy is somewhere "hardcoded" into the code (I don't know where)
so I'm not sure if it's possible to remove Galaxy.

Tango is unmaintained and fare away from complete.
I moved the existing tango svg icons to a separate folder so that
the svg files wasn't shipped any more with the images_tango.zip file
this reduce the zip file from 8 mb to 1 mb.

*Breeze, Elementary and Colibre*

I updated Elementary icons for 6.0 and now Elementary is finished like
breeze or colibre. I also maintain all three icon themes. And I think I did
it well in the last years. All three icon themes are made in inkscape so
all are available in svg and png. And I'll vote for make all three svg icon
themes available in LibreOffice Online.

*Community Vote*

Last time we vote was a disaster (mascot, sorry). I'm again a community vote
cause I don't see a benefit Colibre was designed for Windows 10 and it fit's
what if the community say we want to have Elementary default. I would be
again this vote also if you choose breeze. I like both and I think breeze
is the most modern icon theme, but it was designed for plasma not for
windows.

I see a benefit if we involve the community to make colibre better
to report bugs, ...

*My vote*

I will vote for no change for remove icon themes from the core repository
and Colibre as default for LibreOffice 6.1
Backport for LO 6.0 would be fine but no default change in LO 6.0

And sorry I can't participate the design meeting tomorrow.

would be nice if we can find a solution cause I'd like to update all the
area fill options
and I would prefer to have everywhere fill color, gradient, bitmap, ...
something like the
same colors or at least that you can see something like a new brand.

Also the gallery -> text shapes should use the colors and gradients from
the standard plate
Have templates use the standard/default stuff would be nice
...

As you can see 6.1 would be better but have the initial stuff in 6.0
wouldn't be bad.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Default color for shapes

[kainz.a]

Hi,

I also think change the default color is an improvement cause first the
tango blue isn't or brand and second the default blue didn't work on
monochrome printout and colored printouts are way more expensive than gray
ones.

As LibreOffice has branding color I would suggeste the branded colors, but
Light Lime 2 from the default color plate is also fine.

Re: [libreoffice-design] LibreOffice 6.0 and Notebookbar

[kainz.a]

Yes it would be very cool to have the notebookbar away from experimental.

In general there are some open bugs where most of them can be closed
during a google summer of code project. From the marketing point of view
we should bring the notebookbar to the user. As member of the design team
I would say let's go AFTER we can work together with a full time developer
for two weeks.

The following implementations can be finished for the 6.0 release
- tabbed toolbar
- tabbed toolbar compact
- groupedbar
- groupedbar compact

There wan't be no new icon theme, but the elementary icon theme
will get a full upgrade and 98% of the icons will be ready for the 6.0
release.
In addition we can promote the icon theme extension
where the community can submitt user specific icon themes.

I will talk with the designer of the Office 2013 icon theme
that it will be available as extension and ready for the 6.0 release.
So ideally we have the tabbed toolbar with Office 2013 icons.

That's my dream for LibreOffice 6.0 Mike.
I will work on the elementary icons and the notebookbar ui files,
for all applications. If you find a developer, the dream can become
true without my work in 2017 will be available only for experimental
users.

Cheers
Andreas_K

Re: [libreoffice-design] Fwd: [libo-marketing-priv] Mascot contest troubles?

[kainz.a]

How we should keep you up to date?

something you know from online media pages
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/11/12-potential-libreoffice-mascots
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/11/12-potential-libreoffice-mascots
https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/7d1igq/the_second_round_of_libre_office_mascot_selection/

when you read the comments there is written,
that some can have trouble with existing mascots like the owl from andre
del sarto
and most people don't believe that this are the best final 11 mascots
the community has voted (me too).

So from my point of view the 27.000 peoples how voted (which is a great
success)
didn't understood that this 11 mascots are really the best voted ones and
are now upset.

Other bad things are that the webpage isn't available most of the time and
it's quite
difficult to vote.

look really good, I'm impressed. maybe a bit less colors focus on one color
instead of two.

but very cool.

 Thank you all so much for your warm replies :-)

 So, let's go for my comments :

 I really like the idea of cube/hexagon from K-J. Because cube = 6
 faces, and it's the version 6 of LibreOffice ;-)

 For the dice, it maybe a little bit touchy. It's great because it's
 playfull. But here in France we say that dices are part of "jeux de
 hasard"; in english "games of chance", but "hasard" can have a negatif
 meaning here.

 Styling : I really like the drawing by K-J. Maybe can we try some
 others styles ? For examples :
 - 3-colors : the main LO green color + grey + white. It could improve
 the consistency with others LO visual materials
 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding
 - maybe inserting some triangles like in this picture, to boost the
 global branding : https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibO_
 CommunityAnniversary_10years_300x300.png
 - maybe trying the draw with only lines, no fullfilment ?
 - why not playing with geometry and do some impossible figure, like the
 Escher cube (the picture bellow is just for the concept, not the style) :
 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fe/Escher_Cube.png
 Meaning : "With LibreOffice, we can do all and the impossible tasks" ;-)

 Do you think I can make some tries from the concept by K-J or it's rude
 to do so ? I don't know the customs here but wouls like to respect them.

Thanks didn't know. So the user group of the survey are end users and you
want to know if they are interested into the same things like system
admins. Interesting question.

thanks for the feedback.

Hello everyone,

we have some topics to discuss tomorrow:

Organization

 * Participation in the design meeting declined
   + one reply on direct emails

 * New survey planned about LibreOffice Aspects



What do you mean with security? Macros are unsecure but users how want to
use them will use them also when they are unsecure.

Compatibility with ms office or between different libreoffice versions.
Eyerybody will say 100% what you can't guarantee on each question. Are open
document files compatible between your used office suites? This would mean
save your files in odt, ... not in docx and say than libreoffice isn't
compatible. MS can open odt files. For me it would be very interested if I
save the office files in odt if the different users can use libreoffice or
ms office and you didn't have to care.

Stability would be interested with the link to the office version. Is
stable really more stable than frash? Again this is also a question to the
devs not the users. Would be nice to have a bit of automated user
statistics.

Technical support is a really good question. Ubuntu start with a lot of
wiki and community support. I use always ubuntuusers.de that's the reason I
didn't want to switch somewhere else and cause I am happy.

3 days ago there was a office 365 article in the newspaper. Everybody talk
about the costs.
http://mobil.derstandard.at/261654137/Office-365-Abo-fuer-Microsoft-nun-lukrativer-als-traditioneller-Office
Our IT company in the work didn't want to support office 365 cause the
cloud office files were stored as backup in the ms cloud. We have big data
security requirements from our clients and than we should writer our
documents on an US server. Does nobody see a security issue only costs?
That's a libreoffice selling point.

what mean innovation. You can also ask do you want an ms clone or should we
find individual solutions. I would love to see innovations but than you
need the manpower. Clone ms functionality need a lot of work.

Trusted producer. What should you learn from that question. Ms ship add
with win 10 you can call it spyware but most users trust ms. Would you like
to ship spyware with libreoffice?

What do you mean with usability. You can ask does libreoffice support your
workflow or something like this.

I don't know a friend or college how use libreoffice so before ask if
someone would ask me the first question would be how many people I know how
use libreoffice.

Fresh, stable, master. Really good question did libreoffice didn't have an
answer which version was regularly updated.

Affiliate what does it mean? Administrator for office, server, ...
Which apps do you use on a regular base, ...
Home, office user, student, ...

Member of document foundation. Link to the benefits.

Windows 7 bis 10 win 10 should be also available.

Andreas

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: [libreoffice-projects] Re: LibreOffice Mascot

Hi,

I read in the pad that colibri is one idea for an LibreOffice mascot.

Here an example of an coLibre
http://imgur.com/a/VXWNg

and with different background
http://imgur.com/a/VC2Uj

the design was community driven. I got very good improvements from the
telegram groups (LibreOffice and LibreOffice Design EN in addition from the
KDE VDG) so thanks for everybody to imporve the work.

If you think another animal was a good choise. I'll read the mailing list
and maybe I can prepare another mascot.

Hi,

I like the triangle very much and you can see them also in the LibreOffice
webpage so it look like the marketing group also like them. In general I
would use the NEW mascot for the 6.0 branding.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Reason for creating document

Hi Lach,

I had something similar in mind, that you get the used things that were
available in the document (simple document, book with bookmarks,
references, ...) but when I play now with the ui files I have to say it is
nice when you get an interface that fit's the users need. In addition it
would be very difficult when the UI change each time, that the user feel
femilar with it.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Notebookbar's tabbed implementation

Hi Jay,

look good to me I like the 3 row layout. I would add the Digital Signatures
left to Properties and maybe (only maybe) the wizards as drop down menu to
Templates.

Than I only miss send via mail, but I didn't find a place for it.

as there are sometimes icons and sometimes not (recent, versions, open
template), how would it look if only the main group action get an icon?

Hi Papamatti,

you are the sifr designer. good to know. I work now on some toolbar stuff
but after that I'd like to get an better overview about the different icon
sets. So maybe I can help. My goal is to have the different icon sets in
the core repo. I can also help with svg stuff. And I'd like to have the
icon in 16, 24 and 32px like breeze.

maybe it would be better to separate 3 and 4. the mockup show the full size
and than smaler sizes with >> expander.
the smaler size is once defined as show the first icon and once show the
second column in icon only view.
the shrink thing could work with show x column than you need an grid widget
where you define which thing should be shown always and which not.
could than work also with show/hide row and you define show row only when
click expand, ...

3 and 4 should be ONE thing.
- You can add an button for show expert toolbar and it will open it.
- You can add an advanced button (icon only, text beside icon, ...) and it
will show the advanced layout
   or you click the button again and it show the minimum layout
   so you define in glade two layouts. one for on one for off.

[libreoffice-design] Notebookbar still needed stuff

[kainz.a]

Needed stuff for the notebook toolbars to get this or similar solutions
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Figure6.png

1. drop down arrow on the side or bottom
see paste icon http://imgur.com/0z7Xvhl
2. mixed tabs and action icon
see http://imgur.com/0z7Xvhl
3. Shrink
The Problem is that when you shrink the wide you can say priority-123
and the section was hiden and you see only an arrow.
this isn't optimal cause the user didn't know what the arrow is used for
(you didn't know what)
The solution could be to define a view for expand and one for shrink.
e.g. Expand show all Paragraph stuff and shrink only one. could be mixed
maybe with 4.
4. Button show an context-xxx thing
this could help also for expand things like in the solution mockup
Character >> or Paragraph >>
but also it would be an workaround for the tabs layout you have than
buttons for Edit, Format, ...
The behaviour should be click on the Character >> button and the
context-characterExtend section
(somewhere) right to the default Character stuff will shown.
Click on Format and the context-format section will be shown.
5. Icon and Text sizing
it would be really usefull when you shrink the size some actions show only
the icon
instead of icon and text this could help to have an layout for 800px and
2048px.
6. Notebookbar Background
now there is a white background instead of transparent
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103235
when this is solved I can make a firefox theme for LibreOffice
I'll played a lot in the past weeks with layouts and design in the
notebookbar and with this 6 things I'm really fare to find a really awesome
solution AND to give other developers and designers something they can use.
I'll post some screenshots if you need additional informations.

Hi,

I played yesterday with the comments and track changes and for me it was a
bit complicated because the they are handled different but they are both
part of an review. so for me the navigation between track changes and
comments should be similar. That's the reason I would put them together in
the toolbar or the sidebar.

[libreoffice-design] Notebookbar Buttons instead of Tabs

[kainz.a]

Hi,

would it be possible to have buttons that can open the context-xxx thing.
The "problem" is that when I have a context toolbar it is really awesome
but it would be nice to show the user what are the context toolbars AND to
save space it would be way easier to say if you want to insert something to
to the insert Button, ...

http://imgur.com/a/qcRYa

I know it's something like a tabbed toolbar, BUT at tabbed toolbares it's
not possible to mix between tabs and icons. As you see in the linked
pickture with the buttons it would be possible. In addition there are way
more posibilities if you can use a button to open the context toolbar than
tabs.

And it look better ;-) In the end I can make something like this
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/Figure6.png

@eszka please help me.

thanks in advance

I have a 12" screen laptop (no old hardware) and had TODAY the problem that
the menu size was to large. In general some menu sections have a lot of
stuff included. Good example is the Style menu you see there only style.
Review stuff is in different areas.

good example is the tabed notebook bar there are Page layout, References,
Review tabs which are not available in the menubar.

Maybe a syncronizing of tabbed notebookbar and menubar could be an option.
Review and References are really difficult to find in the menubar in
compare to the tabbed notebookbar.

[libreoffice-design] context container

[kainz.a]

Dear LibreOffice Team,

I'd like to know which context container are available (for Writer) as fare
as I know there is

   - context-Text
   - context-Table
   - context-Graphic
   - context-Draw

But I think there are more context container the following containers I need

   - context-print
   (when you open the print preview)
   - context-TextObject
   (when you write a Text into an Shape or when you insert an Text Box)
   - In the end I need an context-container for all
   /swriter/toolbar/xxxobjectbar.xml files

I know context-print and context-TextObject didn't work so how they are
called or did I have to declare them somewhere in the code.

Thanks
Andreas_K

Hi Thibaut,

it's really awesome that you'd like to work on an advanced user interface
cause there you will see the big issues with the grouped concept better
(space problem) so please go for it. I'll hope you will find a usefull
solution for the space issue.

good luck

[libreoffice-design] Contextual Group Toolbar

[kainz.a]

Hi,

I like the proposal of the Notebook toolbars in general I'm a big fan of
the contextual grouped toolbar. So I make a mockup for Writer and add bug
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106035.

https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=131263

1. My idea is that the contextual groups are grouped according to the menu
bar. Why?

Because you use a menu bar when you have a lot of features and you didn't
have enough space in the toolbar(s). Good example Kate file editor didn't
have a toolbar only a menu bar because ordinary you want to write a text
file and when you need an action it's a feature you didn't have on the
toolbar.

Because the LibreOffice users know where the actions are located in the
menu bar. Add a new structure with grouped toolbars and hidden actions
somewhere (like MS do) would solve at least problems for new users but not
for existing ones.

Because when the group is called like the menu I can click on the group
name and the menu bar entry pop up it's really easy to explain new and
existing users.

2. Always same layout for each group

I know I like grids but one of the thing I didn't like in MS Word and the
existing Writer examples are that you mix between two and three rows. So my
proposal is ONE big icon at the beginning of each subgroup and than always
3 rows if there are no 3 actions available than it will also anchor
according the grid.

3. Small toolbar mode

I also have an example of a small toolbar mode according to the same idea.
You can see the small toolbar at the bottom of the picture. It will start
with the name of the menu bar and than some important actions. Here also
the group name is the menu toolbar drop down menu where you get all actions.

Problem of this the small toolbar layout is that you can't add the action
name behind the action icon cause names are for the groups.

I'll prepare the .ui file for the contextual grouped toolbar and hope I get
feedback if it's a good idea AND how I can add the drop down menu instead
ONLY the group name.

cheers

In Win 7 tango fit's well. I don't know how it will fit in Win 10.
I can't change the breeze icon geometry, but as everything is svg,
color changing wouldn't be a problem to fit windows better.

I used tango icons for the installer, cause the installer is for windows
and tango is the default icon set, so the default design language for
windows.

I can also make a proposal for another design language (breeze, galaxy,
sifr, ...)
but I wouldn't prefer to have an installer icon that fit's any LO design
language.
So say what you want and I will have a look if I can make it happen.

[libreoffice-design] LO needed icons for 5.3

[kainz.a]

Dear LO Team,

please post somewhere which icons do you need for the 5.3 release (I didn't
know the time shadule, if it's not to late).

It would be very helpful if you have a wiki page where you add the list
with new icons in the next release cause I'd like to update the breeze icon
set, but without the icon names it's not easy.

I'll tested the experimental notebook bar and there are some icons missing
in breeze but also in (all) other icon sets, so the list would be useful
not only for me.

cheers

Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Home for the breeze icon theme

[kainz.a]

KDE implement something like a look and feel package. the idea is that you
don't have to select I'd like to use this icons with that color scheme and
this widget layout.

So maybe you can have in the dialogue a preview of different layouts.
simple tollbar with tango icons e.g. for xp users, toolbar + sidebar with
breeze icons and dark theme, ... you can change everything in the settings
dialogue but in the start selection you say I'd like to have this.

Hi,

about the HiDPI support what's happen with it? I already add 32px icons but
you can't use them in any LO version.

Hi,

For your information uri inform me before he closed the repository and the
kde stuff on github wasn't up to date.

But yes in general the png files isn't useful for new contributions and the
origin file is the important stuff. You wouldn't save exe files. The cpp
files are the needed.

Thanks for upload the files.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Proposal: Usability testing LibreOffice in a university course

[kainz.a]

Hi Christoph,

this would be really great. I'm not that involved in the usability stuff
but I do/did the breeze icon theme and I live in Vienna too.

In the past I don't get that much feedback about the icon semantic there
was a Usability Test from 2014 (
http://user-prompt.com/de/intermediate-results-of-the-icon-tests-breeze/)
about the semantic and there the feedback was that some icons need some
redesign. As breeze is used on Mac and Linux I would be very happy to get
some feedback.

cheers

Re: [libreoffice-design] Survey about Libreoffice Draw

[kainz.a]

Hi,

in my point of view Draw is an vector graphic application. Didn't know that
you can do some pixel graphic edit stuff. maybe some color and crop filters
but this things are available in writer too.

In an office suite I don't need something like inkscape, but I would need
something like make same example drawings and flow charts (like MS Visio)
or for pdf import and manipulation. Generate some vector graphics together
with base would be a nice feature for advanced users. As MS Visio is not
avaiblable in the standard MS Office package and you have to by an
additional (not to cheep) licence it would be a unique selling point for
LibreOffice.

In the Office you have a lot of pdf files, sometimes you want to change
something (remove an paragraph, ...) or draw an chart. For foto (pixel
graphics) you ordinary don't open base. maybe when you import the picture
in writer but there you have your pictur manipulatin stuff.

It's an drawing programm for an office suite so the focus would be what do
you do in your office.

I'm happy that you look after an vision for Draw

Re: [libreoffice-design] Fwd: New Interface suggestion

[kainz.a]

can we add this tabs right to the menu bar cause in widescreen monitors (I
think large widescreen monitors are our target display) there is a lot of
space.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Fwd: New Interface suggestion

[kainz.a]

as the focus and the unique element in LO is on the sidebar I would prefere
to add an open dokument previewer in the sidebar for all open dokument
types.

Re: [libreoffice-design] wrong icon size in Impress

[kainz.a]

I add the displaymode_ icons for toolbar sizes (16, 22 and 32px) see
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/20481/

.uno:NormalMultiPaneGUI -> cmd/(sc_|lc_)normalmultipanegui.png DONE
.uno:NotesMode -> cmd/(sc_|lc_)notesmode.png DONE
.uno:OutlineMode -> cmd/(sc_|lc_)outlinemode.png DONE
.uno:DiaMode -> cmd/(sc_lc_)diamode.png DONE
.uno:SlideMasterPage -> cmd/(sc_|lc_)slidemasterpage.png DONE
.uno:NotesMasterPage -> cmd/(sc_|lc_)notesmasterpage.png DONE

Re: [libreoffice-design] "eat our own dog food"

[kainz.a]

you have right, I use kde and do design stuff for kde, BUT I use plasma 5.2
from Kubuntu 15.04 (cause there is an BUG in Dolphin at Kubuntu 15.10) and
make design stuff for plasma 5.5. It is a BIG problem that Plasma and KDE
don't offer CI like you have it in LibreOffice. When I don something in LO
I can push it to master and one day later I can install the daily build.

As always the right desicion is somewhere between only use LO and use
google docs or an specific propritory app.

When you link to calligra. The starting point about this mail was that I
start with breeze calligra icons and they want to find also other people to
join. In the end it is everywhere a small group how participate.

but would be cool to add some stuff that is usefull for our work into LO.
