Meanwhile I found out, that the stronger highlighting of the first button means,
that this button has the focus. The focus can be moved by using the TAB key.
However, this is not clear to average users, and it is even not recognized by UX
experts, as one can read here:
http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=branding&msgNo=83
In addition, the behaviour of StartCenter is inconsistent: When StartCenter
comes up the first time by starting OOo, it shows the focus on the button "Text
Document". When you open any document and return to StartCenter by closing the
document again, none of the controls in StartCenter has the focus. And it is not
possible anymore to set the focus to any of the controls by pressing the TAB
key.
In this state, even the keyboard shortcuts (press the key according to the
underlined letters, e.g. D for Text _D_ocument) do not work anymore.
All in all, there are some severe usability flaws in StartCenter. That´s why
this issue should be a stopper for the release of OOo 3.2.1.
For further investigation, I would suggest:
* Please clarify approval of new StartCenter by the experts of the UX project.
* Please give a link to the specification for the new StartCenter.
I will modify the summary to: "Severe usability flaws in StartCenter"
