RE: [libreoffice-design] Designing a LibO Motif

Hello again,

The motif of this suite should attempt to bring in the color scheme of the individual programs into 
a cohesive product. I notice that green seems to be a predominant color for the website, but it 
also seems to be the main color of the spreadsheet program; furthermore, the color of main screen 
icon is blue (in the windows version at least) when that seems to be the color for the writer 
program. I guess what I'm getting at is that any banner or suite specific design/marketing device 
should have a consistent look that doesn't match any specific program within the suite. For 
example, something like this:

http://img407.imageshack.us/i/picture3kog.png/

Please remember, this is only a very rough idea, and the examples I've created are equally rough. 
As stated earlier, the clipped corner border is overused and should be perhaps restricted to icons 
and such.

Also, this could just be more crazy talk ^_^
