[libreoffice-design] Specification for Document Background (...)

Hi all,

I promised to work "seriously" on the topic ... so here is what I've
achieved so far.

I was unable to "compress" the thoughts in one single mail, so I've
started a dedicated wiki page (a.k.a. specification) to describe the
behavior for all the applications. Now, there are proposals for:
      * The document border (= outline and shadow)
      * The application background, gradient
      * The application background, motif (at the moment, it rather is
        an idea to think about)

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Development/DocumentBackground

@ Sébastien: I've stopped at some point, because I'd like to hear your
comments, questions and your general opinion what can be implemented and
whether you are still interested to work on this topic (I really hope so
*g*).

@ Nik: I'd like you to comment on the use of the motif patter - would
that be somehow okay? Or maybe you have some improvement proposals ...

@ Andrew: Does that still meet what you've intended with your proposal
in fdo bug 31251? By applying the Tango Guidelines, I came very close to
your initial shadow design.

@ All: Please have a look at the specification and help to point out
mistakes and issues ...


Cheers,
Christoph
