Re: [libreoffice-design] Download Button on Home Page

Hi,

Regarding the new download button:

1) I would simply mirror the bright gradient. Currently it the hover 
effect looks a bit too bright. And the border looks a bit blurry. Maybe 
it looks better without the shade.

2) The download icon looks a bit too pale. I would choose either the 
current one or the last one, but the colors should look a bit more vibrant.

Unrelated to this: Are there any plans to have a style selector, which 
affects headlines, normal text, tables etc. ? To me, this seems to be a 
very time-saving feature, which could be implemented as part of the 
UI-redesign. Example in Word: http://weaselhut.net/images/styles.jpg
Additionally the user should be able to easily customize a style, e.g. 
choose the alternating colors for tables, the way images are aligned and 
so on.

Greetings

Alex
