This should apply to every area of LibreOffice, where document borders are visible, namely Writer, Impress, Draw, XML forms [others not yet searched for]."I am afraid you are very wrong there. It is not at all easier -- it is a lot harder -- and a lot less fun (the stuff that motivates volunteers).Speaking for myself here - I'd consider it *helpful* to get direction on those details. For me, it's not telling me how to code, but what to put into all those magic constant values needed for UI - I'd otherwise would need to trial-and-error those out, which is non-fun (for me).
Yes, of course working together is best. What bugged me here is that the bug on fdo was reopened before there was actually a consensus on how it can be done better. And the discussion about the bug was not even linked there. Keep in mind that closing a bug is a great boon for the developer -- dont take it away from him two days after he proudly closed it without a clear message on what to do better.
Besides, at least those bike-shed-color issues, are usually trivially fixable after-the-fact ... ;)
Exactly. Christoph applauded Sébastien for staying calm through all of this. I have to agree and ask others to follow his example: If you see some changes on master that you do not like: dont panic, create a well founded argument and then come forward with it.
