Hi Mirek, all,

Yes, here are the decisions [1]:
* Keep sidebar on the left for LTR locales, have it on the right for
RTL locales.
* Use thumbnails, but indicate file type using colors or badges. -- We
still need to design this, but if we don't do it in time, having no
color codes for this release is fine and we'll put them in the next
one.
* Use 2-line labels, with the name cut off in the middle, just like
the labels in Gnome Documents.
* Show the full file path (including extension) in a tooltip.
* Button labels: Create Writer Text Document (or simply Writer
Document, if Writer Text Document is too long in some languages --
your call), Calc Spreadsheet, Impress Presentation, Draw Drawing, Math
Formula, Base Database
* Greeting: Welcome to LibreOffice. Use the sidebar to open or create
a file.
So I have implemented most of these, I think I've left out only the 2
lines description - it is more complex unfortunately :-( I also fixed a
couple of things that were annoying me personally. The results are
here:
Empty start center, with no documents:

Some recent documents present:

You can see some differences to the design, most notably:
- Create
When playing with that, it started to annoy me that it is _above_ the
separator line, and that it has smaller font size. Also, it logically
belongs to the group of the buttons, so I moved it there, gave it the
same size as the button text, and added a colon. I believe it works
pretty well ;-)
- Thumbnails
I considerably increased their size, and improved their drawing
algorithm to antialias the pictures. Also for the files that have no
thumbnail, I made it look like the icon is on a piece of paper; looks
much more consistently when there are more documents open.
- Open File
I changed the pure 'Open' to 'Open File' - I think it goes better with
the explanatory Writer Document / Calc Spreadsheet etc.
- Various pixel here, pixel there tweaks
To get more breathing space etc. - hopefully you are happy with the
result, it would be just too painful for everybody to ping-pong every
change there :-)
- Mouse over
Now we have a mouse over effect when you point at the thumbnails.
Finally - there are still things to fix around accessibility, haven't
changed a bit there; but that shouldn't be affected by the UI freeze, I
still plan to have a look.
Please shout if anything is wrong - but I hope the current state is
acceptable for most :-) Everyone, please play with the nightly build
that is built after now & report bugs.
All the best,
Kendy
