Re: [libreoffice-design] Hi everybody!

Hi Mike!

I'm avid to know your ideas. But if you think it's better to refine them 
before publishe them, I support this decision. And please don't leave to 
share your learning about the LibO's UI System, I'm very interested too. :D

Yeas, I think most of visual changes must be done gradually to make sure 
that savvy users will not lost the control feeling on the UI.
