Bug ID: 122288
Summary: Themes/Personas usability issues
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: jean-francois.nifenec...@laposte.net
Description:
After the recent fixes applied to the Firefox personas loading (see bug
#11881), there remain several usability issues that severely limit the
personas/theming functionality.
Actual Results:
Problems still present and user unfriendly:
1. themes download is slow.
2. themes preview very small (way too small). This forces to accept a theme
just for viewing the result (see next point). Very user-unfriendly.
3. when one comes back from a tested theme to check for another, the user has
to ask and download again (which is slow as stated above).
4. only 9 themes are displayed. There's no way to know if there are more and,
if there are, no (obvious) way to download these ones.
5. copy/pasting a Firefox theme URL in the Term/URL textbox leads to an error
(see attachment http://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=147636)
ex : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/libreoffice-4-light-ambiance/
It seems that LibO searches in the US Firefox website while the user obviously
uses his Firefox national website (here: FR).
6. pasting only the Firefox theme name in the Term/URL textbox (as suggested by
the label) leads to nothing: there's no feedback about what's going on (found?
not found?)
Term searched: "libreoffice-4-light-ambiance" (without quotes)
7. Having adopted one of the proposed themes, the user can't adjust the font
colour. No UI option for that (though the option is available in the internal
settings).
Expected Results:
User's friendly behaviour, possible changes:
1. Faster download.
2. Better (larger) preview area. A vertical preview "listbox" would do (à-la
Application Colors list in the Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Application
Colors).
3. Remember the latest downloaded themes list (session-wide).
4. Previewing using a "listbox" would not limit the themes number (see point
2.).
5. Search the actual Firefox site as input by the user.
6. Change the Term/URL textbox so that it actually does what it pretends, or
change its label for clarity about the expected input.
7. Add a colorpicker in order to adjust the font color when selecting a given
theme.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
