[tdf-discuss] Re: Tango Icon Theme
Nigel Verity wrote I see that some of the toolbar icons in the Tango style have changed from 4.2 (for example bold, underline, italic). Is this intentional or will they revert back to the familiar icons in due course? Did the bold icon (for example) change from a light blue capital A to a black lowercase a? This change appears to have been made back in early 2014: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=63c7349bb77d34c93aa0b289e11c773c7b42733f Seems to be permanent as it is still this way in the current v4.4.0.0alpha. I do not know the UX reasoning behind the change. - Best wishes, Owen. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Tango-Icon-Theme-tp4118114p4118580.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.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.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[tdf-discuss] Re: LO Base Enhancements
Nigel Verity wrote I feel that making Sqlite the default database for LO Base in place of HSQLDB would free resources for more development of the front-end. This is just FYI. SQLite was considered as a HSQLDB replacement and rejected, mainly for the reason indicated up thread by Terrence Enger i.e., dynamic (advisory) data typing. The details can be found in the related bug reports: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38811 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50575 Nigel Verity wrote I would urge you to take a look at Gambas3 to see how easy it is to develop a database application with it. I thought I read recently (in a forum post?) a suggestion to use Gambas as a replacement for LO Basic, but cannot find it now. I notice that there is some recent activity about porting Gambas to MacOS: http://sourceforge.net/p/gambas/mailman/message/32413651/ It would need to be ported to both MacOS and Windows (currently runs under Cygwin) to be an effective cross-platform Base application development tool. - Best wishes, Owen. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LO-Base-Enhancements-tp4117041p4118587.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.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.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

For some reason I thought Robinson might have already done this. But if not - sure, someone can go ahead and add it to how to report a bug wiki. Wiki is open for everyone to fiddle with and this surely would be good advice.
