Michael are you seriously trying to say that you think that the current border UI ... is "clean" or intuitive for the user and we shouldn't think about improving that ?
No sorry, that should be changed. And I agree that it is a good idea to make things look similar to MSO, _if_ it has to be re-worked anyways _and_ the MSO version looks alright. Personally, I never figured out these double line styles anyways. I always assumed that double line styles should be proportional. E.g. "60 % black, 20 % white, 20 % black", instead of "2 pt black, X pt white, 1 pt black", with X being "width - 3 pt". But I don't like to be restricted as in MSO and not being able to set the line width myself. If the double line styles were proportional and the line width could be given in the unit, that was set in options (e.g. cm or mm instead of pt), I would be happier than with what MSO has to offer. I'd even like to have customizable line styles, where I can set the percentages (double lines, dotted lines) myself, but that's daydreaming ...
Cedric Mostly because users wants their documents to render the same way in all office suites. It's hard and when we already have things to get some bits working, it wouldn't make sense to destroy it completely.
Well, right now, more complicated documents don't render at all. Couldn't we have the simple line styles from MSO and make them selectable as easily as in MSO, but still let people the freedom to customize them?
