Hi :) The Writer icon is turquoise / blue. Perhaps that would be a good colour to use? It would be an attractive, eye-catching alternative?

Lol, i was thinking that each guide could use the same colour that is used for the package it is written about.

RE: [libreoffice-documentation] Printed copy of Writer Guide now available
An afterthought. If you look at the LibreOffice 3.3.2 splash/menu screen (by opening LibreOffice with no specified format), notice the upper-left and lower-right corners of the menu dialog. These fading triangles might be useful if it is thought that there is too much boring white space when the document outline is brought inward or reduced to an image adjacent to the title. (I am assuming that this appearance is the same for all builds although I am looking at the Windows x86 one.) - Dennis -Original Message- From: Dennis E. Hamilton [mailto:dennis.hamil...@acm.org] Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2011 13:49 To: 'documentation@libreoffice.org' Subject: RE: [libreoffice-documentation] Printed copy of Writer Guide now available First, congratulations on the creation of these materials and the use of a pleasantly consistent branding. I'm becoming quite fond of the LibreOffice document symbol and the color scheme. I agree with Jean-Francois that the black border and large black triangle should not be so emphatic or heavy. Part of the problem is that this sort of thing doesn't scale. As we go larger, we need to go finer. I also don't think there is any need to bleed to the edge, if that is what was done. A modest line (maybe 3mm) and smaller corner cut are appropriate. (And consider making the larger cut corner not solid or else much lighter.) Also, going to a greyed (lighter) tone is helpful, as is done on the LibreOffice splash/main display. I also agree with Tom that the border and the corner cut could be the same colors as used for the different document types. Finally, if the border just doesn't work at that scale (because of corner-cut proportions), maybe something more like the PDF cover page is needed, but using the theme and non-solid colors instead of the black symbol that is there now. - Dennis E.
