Since it seems like LibreOffice won't adopt the UI Oracle's preparing for
OOo, I'm starting a massive LibreOffice UI proposal series. Here's the

Le 2010-10-15 05:22, SveinnFelli acrit:This is how it used to be some time ago in MSO (and I think OOo):
multiple documents tiled/cascading inside one program window, with
*one set of toolbars and menus* - thus maximizing screen estate.Can be confusing if the theme does not distinguish
and a few accented letters. All of
that disappeared. Obviously what you received is unreadable.

Microsoft Office 2003 for short documents (it's easier to define pages,
styles, move illustrations...), but OpenOffice for anything above 20
pages (user-defined variables are easier to define and styles are easier
to define).
cially what to do with hanging bullets and numbering.

bother with downloadable themes and extensions, nor will they care about

But it brings the other question: Inkscape is also another vector-based

Similar behaviour would be expected from other modules. For example, if
I do a major spreadsheet , I should be able to use the word processor in
a cell or in a group of cells. Likewise, Impress would often benefit
from paragraph styles as defined in Writer and full-fledge spread
have it done by
default, however. With regard to buttons, I would suggest less white
space in/around icons. The way the graphics are sized, we could shave 2
to 4 pixels in width and height and make those toolbars more compact,
yet keep graphics the same size.

Speaking of modifications, it is much easier to work with a document
