Re: [libreoffice-design] Impress(ing) Templates

Hi everyone,

I have updated the wiki page significantly.
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Presentation_Templates


I added a new section which I hope can be used to critique the existing
default templates many of which (from my attempts to review each one) have
problems such as font choice (serif fonts should be frowned upon), alignment
issues (content and title area's improperly aligned), inadequate background
images (too bright or distracting) and bullet indentation (too large an
indentation makes second level numbered content, and higher numbered
content, space inefficient).  Please feel free to look over my work and add
your own critiques of the existing default templates.

In other news, I added Paulo's "Green Theme" to the wiki with a link to his
blog page.  It looks good Paulo I can't wait to see bullets.  If you need
help with setting up a master page for your template let me know and I can
help.  If you send me your background image and bullet images along with
your desired fonts I can create the template for you.

Please let me know if there are things on the wiki page you want changed, or
you can just change them yourself. :-)

Cheers,
Jaron
