Mockup link doesn't work.


It "works for me"! I wanted to avoid joining it to the message but here it
is.

Hi,

I have been an irregular user of LibreOffice since the old staroffice
days,
but also a LaTeX user for longer texts. I would like to share some ideas
on
realistic improvements for people who want to use styles exclusively.

My main gripe with the current GUI is that everything encourages ad-hoc
formatting instead of reusing styling. I feel that the use of style
should
not require using the crowded style dialogs more than ad-hoc formatting.
To
address this, I propose two main changes: a "style toolbar" to replace
the
formatting toolbar, and a redesign of the stylist to let us edit common
properties from the stylist directly (along with some other changes).
Some
of the proposed things may not be easy to implement now, but I feel that
a
partial implementation would not be problematic and would greatly improve
my workflow in LibreOffice.

I'm also a newcomer to this mailing list or to design work, thus let me
know if I'm doing this wrong!
Should I open an enhancement request instead of (or in addition to) using
the mailing list?

You can find a mockup here:

poor artistic skills!

PS: I'm willing to contribute code if there is interest in this kind of
changes, but would need some guidance.
