Re: [libreoffice-design] Default Writer Template

Hi Ahmad,
Sorry for the late reply.
So, my comments:
I'd still like Headings to be Sans and the text Serif, or vice versa. I'm
not alone in this idea -- using a different font for headings and for body
text is a common practice. There are websites dedicated to font pairings,
and the use of these pairings is why OOXML themes let the user choose a
font for headings and a different font for body text.
I'm a bit concerned about centering table contents. Centered text is
generally harder to read and can get in the way if you have to compare
data. I'd rather they were left-aligned (right-aligned for RTL languages,
of course).
In general, I'd like styles to be relative, not hard-coded. That means that
the Heading style should hold the font family, for example, not each
individual heading. I now also realize why the LibreOffice styles used
decimal point values -- the headings were saved as percentages, which, come
to think of it, isn't a bad idea.
I'm still not entirely happy with the headings. As I said earlier, I'd
prefer if superior headings weren't lighter than subordinate headings (i.e.
Heading 3 shouldn't be lighter than Heading 5) and I'd like there to be
some differentiation between heading 7-10.
I'd also like the subtitle to be lighter.

Here's something more along the lines of what I'd imagine:

elements used in the document, remove them for a direct comparison.)
