Hi,

but what can you say about so many unused space around "Open File" and
"From Template" buttons? For me it dazzles!
Seriously, I've never used "Open File" button via start center (sometimes
via Writer), "From Template" button I had used maybe few times to check
templates.

For me, Writer, Calc etc. buttons should be centered - they are the most
used, in my opinion. Alex's design is good and nice looking, but - in my
opinion - not practical.

Hope you understand me.

Greetings,
Paweł

My personal feeling is that Alexander 's work looks really professionnal

Matus' work is finished but I just prefer Alex's designs.


Well, the simple shapes and colors were what we called for -- it's a
characteristic of Swiss design. We chose to go with Swiss style, as it
represents simplicity and celebrates typography.
The choice of colors is greatly restricted by the guidelines [1], so we
can't blame Mateus for that either. (BTW, his previous proposal [2]
proposed different colors.)

Alex's designs don't actually follow these guidelines, and the designs will
have to be changed if we want to consider them (as we've posted on the ml,
g+, and fb).


N.B. These are my views only and not the ones of the BoD.


:) Alright. We'll keep them in mind.
