Hello!
Why does noone give OpenOffice a professional look and feel? Why not doing such a fine job like Firefox' designers have done? Many people wouldn't even think about using Firefox or Thunderbird if they looked so unprofessional like OpenOffice does...
I would do this job if I could - but designing is not the thing a can... But I can distinguish good and bad designs... Perhaps there's a designer out there who want's to kick Microsoft's ass - up till now they have the MUCH better looking office package and that's an important reason for using it - it is the GUI that goes straight into one's eyes... And hating it is not a good starting point for falling in love with the power of a program, isnÂt it?
Perhaps someone has some good ideas... I'm sure OpenOffice can beat Microsoft Office - but NOT without professional look...
Best regards
Volker Jung
Well, Volker, which version are you using? If you have not yet seen our beta of 2.0, you ought to try it. The main objective for this new release was to rework the user interface. The new UI is much improved over 1.1.x, and in some ways looks like MSO 2003. I've used all versions of OOo since before 1.0, and 2.0 is great! I can't say that MSO looks any better, really.
