[libreoffice-design] Re: (Proposal) New design for the ruler in LibreOffice

@Bastián, *,

I've uploaded all your sample clips here to Nabble

I really do not follow what you are suggesting as a change for LibreOffice's
ruler(s). 

Our skeuomorph is drawn from an older manual typewriter--Left & Right margin
are hard set by page layout.  Then--per active paragraph--the paragraph
indent (the top triangle),  spacing before text and spacing after text (the
bottom triangles), and tab stops (spacing linked to the space before or
after, of various formats--left, right, or decimal) are adjusted.  But doing
this applying paragraph styles is much preferred because otherwise it is
just too dynamic.

It would be nice to have better tool tips for each. But the function and
appearance is correct.

Also, I would love to have option of full length cross hairs for positioning
and placement--as in a CAD program.

But I really do not see any major inadequacies to the design as is.  Could
you please elaborate on what you'd like to "improve" through redesign?

Regards,

Stuart
