Present: Karthik, Sahil, Eyal, John, Heiko
Comments: Stuart

Tickets/Topics

 * Formula indicator is too big
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166570
   + consistency is a good reason (Eyal)
   + the blue triangle is too obtrusive (Eyal)
   + however, formula indicator are off by default and supposed
     to be visible just temporary - which then need to be more
     easy to spot (Eyal)
   + value highlighting is sufficient anyway (Heiko)
   + if we keep it, we should ideally adjust the color to the
     muted equivalent as for comments (Eyal)
   => comment (easyhack)

 * With icon theme controls relocated, rename Options -> View panel
   to 'Rendering'
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166604
   + rename to Rendering (Stuart)
   + move the two frames into the Advanced tab and remove the
     View tab (Sahil, Heiko)
     + same for OpenCL (Heiko)
   + we must not use Advanced as a dumpster (John)
   + Mouse to General (Sahil)
   => comment (easyhack)

 * Support group-title bottom label in tabbed UI
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166641
   + duplicate of bug 166350 (Stuart)
   + related but not the same; could be a blocker/depender (Eyal)
   + labels are good but require a clear concept, which I do not see
     at the Tabbed NB (Heiko)
     + request to support not to label everything (similar to launchers)
     + could be added iteratively
     + vertical space is not an issue as the design aims for this
     + labels should make user feel home (and we do not copycat Ribbons)
   + customization spoils the labels (Sahil)
     + we can cope for this and hide the label if the section is too short
   + fully support the proposal; and we may add an option to switch
     it off (John)
   + GroupedBar has kind of labeled control and Tabbed is expected to become
     larger, ie. 3 rows (Sahil)
     + the enhancement should be a non-focusable label
   => comment
