Hi Cor,

  the last .src, and convert it to .ui) so that it is much easier for
  anybody in the design team to go, and just fix anything that looks ugly
  or does not behave as it should.  Please, PLEASE, start using this power
  - just grab an .ui file and start playing.
 
 I would love to, but alas I'm not able to do that any time soon.

Sorry, I did not mean you directly :-) [I know you are busy] -  just
wanted to encourage all the people there.  I wanted to stress that an
extremely important part of the work that the developers are doing is to
enable much broader audience that can make the work directly, without
having to block on somebody who would turn designs into actual code.

Actually - it would be fantastic to add it as a requirement to the
Whiteboard process that in case a dialog / other interaction is
designed, it has to appear there as .ui at some (relatively early) stage
too, not only as a mockup.

All the best,
Kendy

Pedro,

for icons/images previewing, you can do as it follows:
- choose an icon theme: galaxy, tango, etc (you can find it in
someplace like LIBREOFFICE_FOLDER/share/config/images_THEMENAME.zip
- extract the chosen icon theme pack into the .UI file folder
- open the .UI file with glade

Hope it helps.
Rodolfo

 I am not a designer or a developer. I just loaded Glade because I thought it
 would be fun.

 I can't get the icons to show (followed the instructions by Samuel
 http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Welcome-graphics-for-the-Startcenter-in-4-2-tp4077497p4081770.html
 and at least got rid of the error message)

 There is no extras/source/glade folder so I pointed it to
 %ProgramFiles%\LibreOfficeDev 4\share\glade (which only contains
 libreoffice-catalog.xml)

 I can't even resize a box... Clicking on Help returns Could not show link:
 HEAD request failed: 301 Moved Permanently. Right clicking on a object and
 choosing Read Documentation doesn't do anything.

 I think it is a fantastic idea and it is a good starting point. Probably
 needs more fine tunning (or maybe it simply doesn't apply to Windows users
 :) )

 Thought you might be interested ;)

I'm afraid that didn't work... Maybe it's a Windows problem? Or maybe a bug
in Glade (the latest version for Windows is 3.14.2 while the current Glade
version is 3.16...)

Any other ideas (other than switching OS :) )?

images.zip is in C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\share\config
copy that and past it in the directory that you have saved StartCenter.ui
unzip the file into images\
in preferences select from this directory and browse to images
click on an image widget
look down to edit image and note the file name and the folder it is in

maybe this part isn't the right way but it worked for me:
I had assumed that glade knew to look in the sub-directories of images/ 
but it didn't for me so
calc_all_image is supposed to be found in \res. I copied all the 
contents of res\ to images and *it worked *. There's at least one 
more sub-directory to do this to (cmd\).


changing the path to the file name next to file name didn't do 
anything. Glade couldn't find it when the path was set right and finds 
it after pasting the files (I copied, rather than cut so I'm not going 
to say with certainty that the file would still be found after cutting 
and pasting the files--but I'm betting it would.


I spent a few hours with trial and error until I hit this. Hope it works 
for you. FWIW, the original description didn't work on my linux box either.
