Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Light Blue for Non-printing characters

Hi all,

I just set a dudle for this topic. You can vote here :
https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/Non-printing_characters_color/

I would like to emphasize that regarding options a) and b) :
- they are "localized" (no need to modify far apart sections of code or 
distant functionnalities)
- they belong to the scope of LibreOffice (it's not like asking some 
feature that has nothing to do with the goal of LO)
- if one or both is/are chosen, we will still need to have a carefuly 
chosen default option
(either some hard-coded value or the color adapting to selection color).

Best regards,
    Laurent
