Re: [Libreoffice] [PATCH] UX New layout Move/Copy sheet in calc

Michael,

Sorry that I used the background color directly. I just do not known jet how
to use themes.

Is there a theme for displaying a warning label in a dialog?

The color of the warning was inspired by the spec:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/Projects/NonModalMessageSystem#Step_2_-_Message_Style_2a

Where can I find the specs for the UI and UX for LibreOffice?

Best regards,
Joost
