Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Re: [libreoffice-design] Motif draft

Hi Design!

2 more days to go until the "brainstorming" of motif ideas is over and 
we begin design proposals (on Monday).
Head over to this page for more information;

No problem, but time is running out for me unfortunately,
one of you guys may have to take over before the "task" is complete =(

Hi Bernhard and Christoph,
I've added your respective comments on the motif page and listed the 
"previous attempts" list Bernhard summarised above (but haven't linked 
any because I'm short on time).

I'm glad to include these on the page, but we should expect that these 
previous elements will have no significant bearing on the Motif 
yet-to-be-designed.
I don't like carrying-over elements just because they have been used, I 
think it would be better to craft new elements from scratch with clear 
purpose+intentions+context from the beginning.
