------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Dec 9 00:00:54 +0000 2007 ------- Just some further thoughts: A.) 'BANDED' should be replaced with 'STRIPED' Alternating rows are really like stripes, see http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/striped (e.g. striped fish and tiger are striped). B.) Striped Rows vs Columns Having striped rows simultaneously with striped columns is exceedingly rare. C.) I would prefer some advanced styles that do not need setting many options. Therefore, it may make sense to have only the following design elements: 1.) header row (or column) 2.) common row (or column) 3.) striped row (or column) 4.) row vs column (OOo UI setting, not really an element) When *Striped Rows* is selected, then: - odd rows are drawn using the striped row colour (usually darker colour) - the even rows are drawn like the *Common Row* When both *Header Row* and *Striped Row* are choosen, then: - first row is the *Header Row* - even rows (2, 4, ...) are drawn using the *Common Row* - odd rows (except 1) are drawn using the *Striped Row* - there should be a high contrast between the header row and the next row In general, header rows should contrast against the rest of the table. Therefore, styles used for header rows should in general have: - bold text - centered text - contrasting background relative to the table body - font color contrasting to the background [therefore, the font colour for the heading row is usually opposite that in the table body] Also, when using both header row and striped rows, the row following the header row should take the colour that contrasts most to the header row. [IF header is dark, choose the lightest colour for the 2nd row, and the less light colour for the 3rd row...] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
