Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: [Libreoffice] [PUSHED] fdo#31251 - Improve default page layout

Hi all,

I like both ideas but lean towards Andrews suggestion.

I would like to instead propose a different approach but perhaps from a
coding perspective it would not be an "easy hack."  There was discussion
over the years on the OOo list about changing the background from the dull
gray to something more upbeat.  Perhaps the 'shadow' could be integrated
into a new customization feature that allows the user to change the
background and the shadow.  Unfortunately, I can't recall how difficult this
is... (I seem to recall some large problem in the code that made this
difficult, but it may have been an issue).

Cheers,
Jaron
