Hi Ricardo, *

Here I am again with some of my draft ideas about Writer ;)
Linked styles are one of those features that makes Writer Really
Great: to set up a chain of styles that inherits some characteristics
from a "parent" style helps a lot when you build a complex document.
But this feature, in the way it is implemented now have one flaw: it
is not possible, when editing a style, to tell apart which
characteristic is inherited from the parent style and which is unique
from the style considered.[...]
I think it would be great to have a sort of check box (or maybe just
an option on the list) to clearly state that the selected feature
comes from the parent style, something like the very rough mock-up
here:

What do you think?

It would be great to discriminate between inherited and new introduced styles.

And having a feature to put a characteristic back to the inherited mode is something I'd like to have used quite a few times in the past.

Your "inherited" check-mark seems to be not detailed enough in your mockup: It applies to font, weight and size at the same time.

Perhaps it would be possible to have the "inherited" characteristic marked in the list directly? Something like grayed out? And an additional line at the bottom of the listbox "inherit from parent style" (changing to "inherited from parent" when the inherited characteristic is selected)?

I haven't been able to spend more time on this topic and on the related ones already discussed here and described at the wiki:

Perhaps you and Astron can work together on this topic...

Best regards

Bernhard
