When this was discussed, the main issue was to *avoid* the
necessity of localised icons; just using *A*,/A/,_A_
everywhere as universal symbols.
Then (Mirek) opted for lowercase *a*,/a/,_a_ which in my
opinion is prone to much more controversy.

But since we don't have any means of cognitive testing of
such details, we can't really judge.

But I'm still convinced that capital *A*,/A/,_A_'s are more
widely recognised as symbolising the Roman alphabet (and
less prone to font details) than lowercase *a*,/a/,_a_.

Just thoughts,
Sveinn í Felli

Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Bold and Italic icons

2012-05-04 Thread Mirek M.

 Hi, Mirek
 You have a hidden problem: Use Vegur, LibreOffice's official font, if you
 need to.
 This means that Bulgaria, Belarus, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine and other
 countries that use the Cyrillic alphabet, will be offended, because Vegur
 does not include their national symbols.


Actually, the only letter we should use is capital A, perhaps capital B if
we need to. These symbols happen to belong in the Latin, Cyrillic, and
Greek alphabets.
We don't have to use Vegur per sé, but Vegur is ideal for deriving a
symbol, as it's in the public domain. Icons should probably use tweaked
versions of the font's A symbol to accentuate the associated action.

Actually, we ended up choosing capital A.

In any case, the flat icon project has been shelved for now, until we find
someone skilled and experienced to lead the project. I feel like the
guidelines aren't strict enough yet to guarantee a cohesive set (e.g.
there's no definition of line widths, corner sharpness, ...) and I'm not
sure if focusing only on Android is the best thing to do if we'd like to
use the icons in desktop/online LibreOffice itself sometime down the line.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Rework of the Templates and documents dialogue

2012-05-04 Thread Andrew Pullins
OK I just added my proposal for the templates dialog [1]. Its nothing
really awesome, just wanted to present a preview for the templates. I think
you should be able to preview each page of the template before creating it.
