Re: [libreoffice-design] Bold and Italic icons
We're nearing the end of our discussion deadline. Let's vote on whether to use lowercase [1] or uppercase [2] letters in Inkscape. The argument for lowercase letters is that bold/italic versions might be easier to differentiate. The arguments for uppercase letters are that they're crisper, fitting more in line with our design goals, and used more commonly (including by our current set). Keep in mind that the decision will impact forthcoming icons concerning text, such as Text Box, Underline, Cross-through, Over-line, Font, Superscript, Subscript, Text Color, etc. Based on this thread, the current votes are: Uppercase: 3 (me, Kévin, Sveinn) Lowercase: 1 (Adolfo) If I've misinterpreted your vote, please speak up, and if you haven't voted, please reply with your vote.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Bold and Italic icons
OK, seems to win uppercase. Please try to use a font that makes the bold and italic icons different enough to be recognised, I'd recommend a black weight for the bold icon and a true, single-story italic for the other icon (this is the reason why I don't like Vegur, it is incomplete, does not have italics and IMO is just a Myriad rip-off).

Re: [libreoffice-design] Bold and Italic icons
2012/3/17 Adolfo Jayme Barrientos fitosch...@gmail.com OK, seems to win uppercase. Please try to use a font that makes the bold and italic icons different enough to be recognised, I'd recommend a black weight for the bold icon and a true, single-story italic for the other icon (this is the reason why I don't like Vegur, it is incomplete, does not have italics and IMO is just a Myriad rip-off). Vegur was voted as the official LibreOffice font a long time ago. It's especially advantageous for us because it's licensed under CC0, basically public domain. The only icon for which we need italics is the Italic icon, so that's not a big issue. I tweaked the original font to exaggerate bold and italics [1] -- do you think it's enough?

Re: [libreoffice-design] Rework of the Templates and documents dialogue
2012/3/11 Alexander Wilms alexander.wi...@zoho.com I think it would be useful if we would meet on IRC or G+ to discuss this and clear up stuff with less delays. When do you have some time? Sorry, I meant to answer this earlier, but wasn't sure when I would have some time. I'm free for most of tomorrow -- do you want to chat then? Let's say at 13h (1 PM) GMT (make sure to convert this to your time zone). Embarrassingly, I haven't used IRC yet, but I expect it to be straight-forward. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-design] Call for proposals: Text Color, Highlight Color
Submit your proposals for Text Color and Highlight Color icons @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Flat_icon_set . One of the reasons for going with these two icons is to determine the metaphor/symbolism for colors without actually using any colors. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-design] Bold and Italic icons
I vote for the uppercase icons. It's not that hard to tell that its bold. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-design] Bold and Italic icons
I vote for the lowercase icons. It makes the difference between italics and bold effects more obvious than the uppercase icons. Would there be time to put this up to a vote by the users of Libreoffice? ~ Maggie On Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 10:14 PM, Andrew Pullins android2...@gmail.comwrote: I vote for the uppercase icons.
