------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Nov 7 00:31:01 -0800 2006 ------- I've been asked to clarify what happens with this bug. Here is my reply (I hope, all interested people are on the CC list): I noticed the high number of votes and of duplicates to this issue and I'm cc'ed on this issue, so I've read your comments as well. Our plan was to have a centered view for OOo2.0. During the implementation we realized that the effort would be quiet high. So we decided to spent our resources to more important issues. Our first goal was only to center the pages on screen, not to have more than one page parallel like the idea supposed by gawron. This would be an effort of more than 2 weeks of implementation. The problem is that we could have different page widths in a document, so it's not only a shift of the whole doocument, we have to do some more work. To implement a "cool" view with more than one page parallel we would need even more weeks. Unfortunately it looks like the implementation of a centered view does not help to get the "cool" view :-( Currently nobody is working on this task. Of course we would like to solve every problem but unfortunately our resources are limited. There are a lot of other requests/bugs we have to take care of. For OOo3.0 our idea is to support a more sophisticated view with parallel pages. ->aparan: You mentioned the problem of docking toolbars (at the left) which causes the content to jump. I don't see an improvement by implementing a centered view. Ok, the jump will be a little bit smaller (halfway of left adjusted view), but OTOH toolbars docked at the right border will causes jumps for centered view as well. For a left adjusted document toolbars at the right border don't cause trouble. So the problem of jumping content becomes worse with a centered view, doesn't it? ->gnuyen: Does it really helps, if documents are centered on widescreen monitors? From my point of view we need the parallel page view as gawron described. To have (big) grey areas on both sides of the document instead of a very big one on the right side doesn't makes me happy for widescreen monitors. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
