Hi guys,

5) The handles for resizing and rotating look rather dated. They
should be replaced by some squares/circles filled with a nice

       Agreed - there are two modes: large and small for the handles but both
look dated as you say. Some consensus on this from the design team might
let us create some easy hack around this.

There are four modes: small, large, small/3D, large/3D. Writer's
scanner tool uses small square black handles, but I am not sure if
these are graphics.
Additionally, in Draw/Impress, there are at least another four handles
(corner, side vertical, side horizontal, center) for rotating and a
further two (node, "direction of node") for manipulating vector lines,
all are also available in four modes (small, small/3D, large,
large/3D).

        So - Thorsten - is there really any good reason for all these handle
modes ?

It would be great if all of the four modes could be unified (with
handles nominally the same size as the current large handles [8*8])
with all of the related options removed.

        I'd -love- to add an easy hack for that, it shouldn't be that hard. I
just wonder if there is indeed any legitimate reason at all for all that
complexity.

        If not, I'll knock together an easy hack with code pointers for this.

        Thanks,

                Michael.
