[libreoffice-documentation] LO set-up options - View options
Hi Could someone with a Linux set-up please confirm, or otherwise, that the Automatic icon style is KDE or Gnome as stated in the documentation. In Windows it is Automatic(Tango). I'm just after confirmation of the Automatic setting.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] LO set-up options - View options
Hi :) I am using Automatic Tango in Ubuntu 10.04 (or something). I think this is the version downloaded from the official LibreOffice website rather than the Ubuntu-ised version from their repos but i'm not sure. I found how to check the icon set from this wiki-guide https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Production#Sample_screenshots The choice of the LO icon set is found in Tools Options LibreOffice View; in the User Interface section of that page, under Icon size and style, choose Galaxy (default).

I use Ubuntu 12.04, and can select the icon set that system uses. When KDE is selected for the icon set, the Automatic icon style is Galaxy as it the Default. When Gnome is selected, the Automatic icon style is Tango. When I select Oxygen, the Automatic icon style is Oxygen. So, it is possible that the Automatic icon style is determined by the operating system: change the system icon set, and change the Automatic icon style.

Thank you to all who replied. May I just repeat that I only want to know what the Automatic setting is (Automatic(xx) in Tools-Options-LibreOffice-View in the User Interface icon style list box. This is only to verify the accuracy of the statement in the guide, irrespective of what we change to for our own use. If that alters anyone's answer please feel feel free to respond. Again, thank you for taking the time.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Marking up graphics

As I work on different chapters there is a noticeable feature, which to me, looks quite ugly. It's the line thickness used in circles, ellipses, arrows and so on, which we use to mark up the graphics. Some detract considerably from the quality of the graphic and look downright amateurish. The colours used don't bother me so much. May I suggest that we decide that lines either do, or don't, use arrow heads, and that line thickness for all these items is kept to 2 or 3 pixels? Obviously I can't attach examples, as the list strips out attachments, but I'm sure most will have come across instances.
