Hi all,I've collected several ideas regarding the look of LO. Some of them are inspired by word and I think it wouldn't be too hard to realize them. There's a short summary with a few examples in this document: http://ubuntuone.com/7m7AXgeh7OIwGBiCOHAjGh
1) First of all, I think it's time to change the default formatting and coloring of text, shapes and tables. It doesn't have to be extraordinary, but some polish would be nice. Additionally would it be useful if the user could define alternating colors for tables and maybe even export all this to a xml file or something for easy exchange.
2) Pressing "Ctrl" while resizing a picture or shape should keep the ratio, like e.g. in Inkscape
3) If possible, the markup-language input for formulas should be optional4) I wonder how useful the text border actually is. We could achieve a cleaner look by simply disabling it by default
5) The handles for resizing and rotating look rather dated. They should be replaced by some squares/circles filled with a nice gradient.
6) There should be some nice borders (e.g. polaroid-style) that could easily be applied to imported graphics
What do you think? Some of this might not be trivial to implement, but in my opinion it would be worth the effort. Should I forward the mail to the devs?
