Much better.
thaks for your feedback. :-)
Any chance to add install instructions for the Linux, not been around enough
distros to know the difference between the various installs. Seems to be a
barrier for some people to use AOO instead of the default office suite.
[...]
Would be helpful, since OpenOffice (does not seem to be or) is not the Software
Center (on Linux Mint)
I hesitate to put it beside the other text. As it is a lot more, it's
more complex to get it localized.
But I would favor a link that points to a centralized webpage. Like it
is done with the "Java and Apache OpenOffice" link.
Thanks for the update that points to
https://openoffice-org.staged.apache.org/download/platform_hints.html now I do
no longer have to think about deb vs rpm.
Please note that this is just our staging area for testing. Of course
when all is done it will be published to the public webpage.

I've changed the visualization of the platform hints:

Please have a look and tell me if this is better than the previous
"tooltip over the colored button" solution.
PS:
The text for macOS is still missing. Maybe time to define it?
Thanks

That would be a bit misleading since we don't have a "Universal Binary"

Have been clicking on 'Important hint: RPM vs. DEB = What to choose?' for some
time, without any result. It is usually not obvious to hover on something for a
tool tip, and probably should not be used to contain important information.
OK, then I suggest to first agree on a text and then decide on how to display
it to the users.
really no suggestions? I remeber that we had some discussions about what to
tell the users in past threads.

I don't understand the question. We just have 1 offering for Mac
users... so what kind of hint text would we need?
the same for Windows. But we also a suitable text for Mac users.
So, what is important for these users?
Maybe someone who monitors the forum can answer best?
I have the impression that users are hesitating to download/install AOO
on macOS (esp. Big Sur) because they don't know if it will work. Of
course, you and me would just try out, but we are no "ordinary" users.
They also hesitate after download due to the gatekeeper issue.
Maybe we need something more obvious than a tool tip.
Note for Windows the Important Hint could be prefixed with "Use 32 bit for 64
bit windows”.
For macOS the important button could be: “Works on BigSur and M1 chips. Bypass the Gatekeeper - See Q05” with

We have now a hint text for Linux "RPM vs. DEB = What to choose?"
and
Windows "32-bit, 64-bit and Java - What to choose?".
(Yes, not that beautiful. But this is work in progress and a
topic in
a different thread. :-) )
Now it's the question what do we want to tell our Mac users when
they
want to download their favorit AOO version.
We need a nice title and more details in mouse-over text.
after the release of 4.1.9 is now done, I would like to take the
chance for asking if there are any suggestions.
