Hello all,
why not gather best of both worlds.
Warmful users are used to the icons B U I, so let them have it.
Underneath, use fuzzy logic and apply styles:
If selection is empty or the selection looks like a paragraph, use a block
style, else a char style.
My 2 cents.

So - one thing that I (personally) rather dislike is this "bold
/
italic / underline" meme that still lurks heavily in new UI designs.
IMHO these need to be firmly held underwater until they expire ;-)
Thanks a lot for highlighting this Michael. I also wish this wicked
witch were dead.
Good
mockups around making styles more visible and manageable, creating (and
customizing) new styles [ which can indeed include the
bold/italic/underline elements ;-] much appreciated for that.
Last month there was a short thread on the LibreOffice-design list about
how the UI of LibreOffice could be modified to encourage the correct use
of styles (as opposed to ad-hoc styling). (The thread started at
<http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/msg03586.html>.) We
should continue thinking about this.
Otherwise, some good ideas there. Do we have excitable people
wanting
to do UI work in Java - that we can plug together with the core in due
course ? it'd be great to parallelise that work.
Best regards,
Christophe
