Thanks, Drew! Great start. BTW, Impress and Draw guides are coming soon. ;-) Comments: (1) I like the icon-like symbols below the name of the guide, although the one for Writer seems a bit lurid with the blue against the green background. (2) I would prefer the name of the guide to be a lot larger, though perhaps that's not necessary with the symbols. Will be interested to hear others' reactions. (3) I don't envision using these as title pages on individual published chapters, but only on covers of compiled books. However, a lower-res (and thus much smaller file size) version might work for chapters. Something for the docs team to think about! If I can find time, I'll play around with the xcf and see if I can come up with a variation. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
