[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 58434] Display gray background for non-breaking characters only when displaying non-printing characters
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58434 --- Comment #14 from Jay Philips philip...@hotmail.com --- Like Harald suggested, i agree that the display of formatting marks should be settable in the view menu and in that way it is independent from regular and non-printable character view modes like it is right now. It should be turned off by default, as it is not needed by most regular users, similar to non-printable characters is also turned off by default. It should be noted that there is no visual difference between a number of these kinds of characters when the gray background is shown. (e.g. non-breaking hyphen and soft hyphen) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58434 V Stuart Foote vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu changed: What|Removed |Added CC||vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu --- Comment #15 from V Stuart Foote vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu --- Yup, reasonable enhancement to isolate these special characters (as listed by Simo in comment 8, any others?) from current UI handling of toggling as if field data. That UI choice was probably wrong--but does function as designed. So really not a bug. Simplest enhancement would be to associate with non-printing character handling of the paragraph breaks. But the better UX might come with implementing a new UI motif and unique color for these elements. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise

[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 81475] Meta: enhancing Writer's standard and formatting toolbars
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81475 --- Comment #46 from Jay Philips philip...@hotmail.com --- (In reply to Vladislav from comment #44) It is good to have statistics proving that styles are rarely used compared to fonts changing -- see Step 1b by Jay Philips and his comment that concept of styles are foreign to many users. However, this might be a mistake to follow this logic. The removal of the styles and formatting button in the toolbar in Step 1b does not eliminate the ability to set styles and access the styles and formatting dialog, as these two are possible through the style drop down menu in the toolbar. The elimination of the button was based on OOo stats that showed it was rarely used and most users didnt click the button to access the dialog. My statement that The concept of styles are foreign to many users was in defense of retaining the font name drop down which Mirek wanted to eliminate when he said I would propose to either get rid of the Font Name dropdown or at least condense it into a drop-down menu with an icon. Consider that there are other mechanisms of imposing good practices to users. IMHO, the one proposed in Pages is very effective, see http://macmost.com/using-styles-in-pages.html It simply apply changes of font to a style, not the selected text. So simple. Yes iWork's implementation of style management is quite interesting but that wont necessarily impose good practices on users, as users could ignore clicking the 'Update' button, but would likely make non-style users grasp the concept faster. With iWork, all formatting is done through the sidebar, but with LibreOffice, you have a formatting in both the toolbar and sidebar, so many toolbar users simply ignore the sidebar. P.S. an important change would be making special paste of unformatted text the default option for text. This means no information about size and font should be copied (yet, styles like em., ital., bold, scripts should be). I have suggested another paste special option for retaining character styles in bug 83102. (In reply to Michael Meeks from comment #45) So - I'm not in the UX team - but I 100% agree; we should be enthusiastically encouraging the use of styles - left/right =) the fact people don't know what they are is (IMHO) the fault of the UI in large part ;-) I totally agree that we need to encourage users to use styles and that the UI is the largest problem behind adoption. Bug 73071 has asked that the style drop down be added to the sidebar, but unfortunately it hasnt been done yet. I'd love to have a better style selector, nice, big previews of styles etc. to help people create better documents. I have submitted enhancements to get a good style selector as a tab in the sidebar (bug 86039, mockup in attachment 109138) and have also suggested getting styles in the context menu (bug 85940) as direct formatting options were removed from there. The design team has discussed ways to improve styles and we are looking into them, including having it as a GSoC project. If we've removed the button that pops-up the (admittedly shockingly ugly) style selector that (to me) is a shame =) The button has been removed from the toolbar, but is visible by default as a button in the sidebar. The style selector is no longer a pop-up, it is a permanent tab in the sidebar. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
