[libreoffice-design] Why are not all dialog boxes are resizable?
Hi all, starting with a discussion on German ml [1] about different sizes on the dialog box of "Export as PDF" in different UIs (bug 95178 [2]) Thorsten recognizes that 275 dialog boxes aren't resizable, others are resizable. Is there any reason why they aren't resizable or can they be switched to resizable by default?

[libreoffice-design] Icon theme licenses
Hi All, Mirek has mentioned in the past that icon themes licensed under GPL cant be included with libreoffice, but recently we have included 2 GPL licensed icon themes in our repo (breeze, elementary), so i'm assuming Mirek was mistaken in his assumption. I'm bringing up this issue as the designer of the Kalahari icon theme for LibreOffice, Mariano Gaudix, would like to upstream his work, as he has been actively working on it and had previously asked about including it in the past. The Kalahari icon theme comes in colored and monochrome versions and it includes work from GPL-licensed Human and Faenza. http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/++Kalahari+-+LibreOffice+5.0.1?content=157970 [1] https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/boards/1/topics/58 [2] http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Pack-of-icons-for-LibreOffice-4-0-td4047967.html [3] http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Libreoffice-ux-advise-Faenza-Icons-td4051366.html -- Regards, Yousuf 'Jay' Philips -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

And why should a user want to resize the "Export to PDF" dialog? It adds a lot of complexity to the dialog since min/max width/height have to be considered carefully, a grid layout needs to be added, the properties have to be stored (per user/workstation/company?) etc. And imagine the dialog, which either suddenly grows in height when the width is being reduced or adds a scrollbar. So I would rather turn the question into "Why is xy resizable?" (xy = options, for instance; also the inbuilt file dialog is resizable but in this case for good reasons). Anyway, good question for the guidelines. :-) [1] https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn742499%28v=vs.85%29.aspx -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Personally, I'm not super-eager to deviate from this project's established license practice (CC-BY/LGPL/MPL) - curiously, the gnome-look page you link to even states Kalahari is MPL?
