Hi Christian

Can you do a mock-up of this and give us a link to see what this might look
like?

I use something as simple as Paint and then use cut and paste to move
blocks around to get a final design. Quick and easy.

Cheers

Hi everyone.

My name is Christian Vielma, i'm a Computer Engineer from Venezuela and
i'm
interested in improving LibreOffice.

I think Fernando's idea could be great, but i would like to see images of
how could it be in order to understand better.

I had an idea of using things like "drawers". Those are similar to tabs of
MS Office, but you could "open" as many drawers as you want and have all
the
options in the windows or maintain opened only the drawers that you use
the
most.

That could be a good mix with the dock that Fernando commented, because
you
could have a dock with the options you use most and "open drawers" to look
for functions that you would like to drag to the dock.

LibreOffice already use things like my idea of drawers, for example in
Impress when you have a side with the presentation design. But i would
like
to extend it to be drawers instead of menues.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

 Hey Fernando,

Just so you know, the listserv removes images and attachments
automatically
so you'll have to include a link to the photo.  From what I'm
reading/imagining, I think this might be a good idea, so let's not forget
about it as we continue forward!

 Hi,
my name is Fernando Andrade, and i have an idea for the graphical

interface

of Libre Office.
It is a little bit based on Mac OS X and Ubuntu, minimalistic
and functional but a lot different of the actual LO interface. Microsoft
made a step in the right direction in 2007 when they introduced in the
market the new interface, although many people didn't like it nowadays
people cant use other interface, because the MS Office interface
have eye-candy and is useful and productive.

Now it is time to LO do the changes that will make the difference, i

picked

the concept of a Dock, introduced by Steve Jobs on NextStep, and aplied

it

to the toolbars. Instead of ugly toolbars or the tabs thing of MS
Office,

a

dock would work nice. But how do i apply a fancy dock like docky on the
toolbars, it just don't make sense. Well its just the dock concept, the
thing i call docklet.

It works like a dock in the way that we can drag and drop icons to
add functionalities that we need, or drag and drop to remove the ones we
don't need. when clicked a drop down menu appears with the info and the
options that we have.

As an example the character related info(Bolted, Italic, Underlined,

font,

size, color, highlight, etc..) in only a small and beutiful menu, with
a beautiful icon.

In the picture you can see what i mean, its just the concept of some

thing

new.
the menu can be on a global menu like he ones on MacOS or Ubuntu, on
windows
it could show  on top of the docklet. If you like this concept please
replay
to me, i have more idieas and you would need the full concept, this is

just

a raw draw made directly from my brain to the file via ms paint...

Thank you for your time;
Open regards;
Fernando Andrade

Phil,

The best way to handel a UI mockup is to work in Inkscape or another fully
compliant SVG editor. This allows you or  others to make quick tweaks or
fixes to the design, and has the benefit of being basically the same way the
the final UI will be built.
