For a developer interested in working on a certain topic it would

"The Design Team asks you to add a 8 px wide blurred shadow in
grey transparency to all borders of the document. If the zoom
factor reduces the space between two sheets to less than 16px, the
overlapping areas of the shadow should be cut off. 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.

Best Regards,

Bjoern
