Re: [libreoffice-design] Rework of the "Templates and documents" dialogue

Hi Mirek,

sorry that it took so long to reply.

Regarding the color schemes: I don't know how exactly that works, but 
Christoph mentiones them in the commented Wiki pages he sent me. I guess 
one can import an xml that contains the information that is displayed in 
the 'formatting' window.

The claud button does indeed pull templates from the online repository.

I think it would be better to keep the Help button in the bottom row 
since this is how it works in every other dialogue in LO. I think VCL 
even arranges those buttons to fit the standard of each OS.

In my opinion, the single click to select is a bit complicated, at least 
on the desktop. E.g. the details are only shown if a certain template is 
selected. But such behaviour might be implemented and be enabled 
depending whether LO runs on a PC or a tablet.

Kind Regards

Alex
