Just to be more specific - you want to update

static void setupPersonaHeaderFooter()

in vcl/source/app/settings.cxx to update maMenuBarTextColor too.  The
color is available in aPersonaSettings as the next token after the
footer bitmap.

I've turned the bug into an Easy Hack, and added the instructions here:

As Robinson points out - this is a known issue; this is the developers
list however - so I assume you'll want some code pointers for fixing
it ? :-)

If so - the colors come from:

vcl/inc/vcl/settings.hxx (StyleSettings)

the persona dialog is here:

cui/source/options/personalization.cxx

I guess it'd be worth un-tangling how the personas are read - and (as a
first cut) just clobbering the colours when a persona is parsed.

Hm ... well, for Firefox, there's a persona builder add-on to do that.
I think it can also upload personas, so in a way, that's covered.

Additionally, of course, the background image functionality still
doesn't work in master – so, given how...

personas are mutually exclusive (as you (Michel) already noticed)

Overall, I agree to this structure... and I am actually fine with the
shorter option titles – instead of the long options, a short
introductory text above telling users unaware of the feature what
Personas are would be nice (like "Use Personas to customize the

Very good idea - unfortunately more for 4.1, it's too late to do it now.
I'll keep it in mind, thank you!

I am not sure if it is useful to pre-file the current URL in the Persona
dialog - it is supposed to be only a place to be pasted with the URL, no
real editing, so...

But showing the current Persona's URL might be good, indeed.

The last available build 32 bits for Linux is
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-4-0/Linux-x86_10-Release-Configuration/current/
that is yesterday 2013-01-08 at 13:17:03 and the commits for 4.0 related
to persona are from today afternoon:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/libreoffice-4-0

So there is no daily build for Linux X86 with persona functional at the
moment.

For me it is enough, because we have a preview in Firefox. It is not
exactly the same, but it give a good idea.

Some additional remarks or suggestions for a further version:
1/ if you do several tests with differents personas, each is stored in
the gallery but never removed.
2/ you cannot change your persona when you are offline, even if the
persona you want is already in your gallery.
3/ Perhaps the textfield for the url could be a dropdown list showing
the last used personas, allowing to switch between stored personas.

LATE FEATURE: Personas in LibreOffice

2013-01-09 Thread leif

Hi,
It still doesn't work for me.
Tried with daily built from today.

When I select either background image or Persona and closes the 
dialogue, nothing happens. Content of the chosen values are not stored.

Something is stored to registrymodifications.xcu though.

I can see three relevant entries:
oor:name="BackgroundImage" oor:op="fuse">no
oor:name="BackgroundImageURL" oor:op="fuse">
oor:name="Persona" oor:op="fuse">own


* BackgroundImage works
* Persona works
* BackgroundImageURL doesn't work
Something is missing (PersonaURL?)

I'm running Ubuntu Linux 32bit and tried to install both as parallel 
installation and regular installation. Same result :-(


PS: It should be possible to disable this feature on Windows 
installations (thinking enterprise 'customers'). Enterprises doesn't 
like mint green background or 
http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/419754 on company machines ;-)


Looking forward to try it.

I see the option page, but choosing an own background image does not
work (file picker handling is broken) and a choosen persona is not shown...


That's too old, you need a build post 2012-01-04.  The 'own background'
is not working even there, and will be removed from 4.0 if the Persona
part is approved (otherwise both will go).


I tested on build 2013-01-08 on Ubuntu 12.04 and nothing works :-(

Btw, it's a nice feature !
As it's a user's choice, we have not to worry about readability of toobars.


May i make some suggestions on the pref panel ?
- why not keep the "own image" to select an image in local hd ?
- if i understand ok (images and personas are exclusive), we can have 
the choices :

 *Toolbar background*
   O Default
   O Image  
   O Firefox Persona

(I renamed "own image" to "Image")

- would it be possible to add a preview of image/persona ?
and a status text if there is an error (error loading image, error 
loading persona, timeout...).

From a user pov, it's an expected feed-back before validating.

- to be complete, LO should keep the path of image/url of persona, and 
show it below the preview ; and the url should be entered automatically 
in the persona dialog.




So my complete suggestion in ascii :

 *Toolbar background*
   O Default
   O Image  
   O Firefox Persona

 [Status text, only if error]

   | preview   |

It's useless without support for font color settings. Black text on black
persona isn't exactly great UX experience. Though to be fair, even with
support for this, some of the personas have rather weird color combinations
when checked in Firefox.

Is it better now?

Actually - I am not sure why it is that slow; it shouldn't be.  Either
way, I'll try to do something about that & make it async.

I'd be able to do a progress bar too, though probably only with 3 steps
(nothing, having loaded the page, having loaded the header, having
loaded the footer).  Is that worth that?

Yes - I plan to do a preview in the lower part of the Personalization
dialog where you'd see (part of) the Persona bitmap.

Not sure if I manage to do the async loading + preview for 4.0,
though :-(  But showing the URL at least should be doable - is that
enough?

dialogue itself. I guess the name could be on the preferences page,
e.g. directly after the "use own persona" option. Not sure about where
to put the URL...

It works for me with the last build from 4-0 branch.

Hmm, it does not show the saved url in the options dialog. Instead, it
shows URL template (http://www.getpersonas.com). I wonder if it is a
feature. Kendy?

Anyway, the setting is saved. I see the chosen persona even after
restarting LO.

This is too old. Many fixes were added yesterday evening. You would need

I saw, but it does not work for me after a make dev-install on Ubuntu
12.04 x86-64. Nothing changes when I choose an persona's url and LO does
not remember of this url if I reopen options panel.
Note: url depends on your locale, for me it's

This is a quite nice feature although from my brief tests is only usable
with Solid themes (artistic designs make buttons unreadable...)

I tested under Windows XP with
Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: ff927ba4272aa8f115472577ec9393df19016f2)
TinderBox: Win-x86@6, Branch:master, Time: 2013-01-08_01:14:22

Background images (there is a typo in the Select Background Image button)
are not loaded, neither jpg nor png

Cheers,
Pedro

IIRC we had this feature already for 4.0 for Windows, and this extends
it to Linux+Mac. Having seen some oddness around transparency for Mac in
the past, it would be worth testing there.

But +1 from me for the -4-0 branch - assuming we can get another couple
of reviews. As a quibble, I'd prefer to see BitmapEx's instead of
BitmapEx*'s being used in the settings - which would simplify the code
and make it less error prone I suspect; BitmapEx::IsEmpty is your
friend :-)

Otherwise, really nice work !

That's too old, you need a build post 2012-01-04.  The 'own background'
is not working even there, and will be removed from 4.0 if the Persona
part is approved (otherwise both will go).

LATE FEATURE: Personas in LibreOffice

2013-01-07 Thread Jan Holesovsky
Hi Astron, Caolán, Olivier, all,

I'd like to ask you [or any additional reviewers :-)] for review of a
late 4.0 feature - the Firefox Personas for LibreOffice.  It is supposed
to work like this:

- the user chooses Tools -> Options -> Personalization -> Select Persona
- then navigates to http://www.getpersonas.com, and chooses Persona she
  likes
- copies the URL of that Persona to clipboard, pastes that to the
  dialog, [OK]
- closes the Options with [OK]

And the the Persona is used in LibreOffice, like this:

http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~kendy/blog/pics/libreoffice-personas-1.png

or

http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~kendy/blog/pics/libreoffice-personas-2.png

Depends on the taste - there are 35k Personas to choose from :-)  Of
course, switching the Personas off again is trivial in Tools -> Options
-> Personalization too.

The patches that do that are quite small, in fact just this:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a2500801cf2d337f176b074f9159df4925420af4

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=3fc8c364cc58429bd840f47a80a9258de21ed131

But - there is one catch.  There was no way to load .jpg directly in vcl
(but logically, the functionality belongs there), so I moved
GraphicFilter from svtools to vcl.  The move will also allow
simplification of some code in desktop/ I believe.

Also there were some bugs in vcl that were triggered by the feature; and
I fixed them.  Consequently, the full list of patches to cherry-pick to
libreoffice-4-0 is:

That was, very likely, the same question people at Mozilla asked when
they saw it beeing cooked for FFox... but then, a few month after
release, they got tens of thousands of Personas.

Many users like to put fancy ringtones in their mobiles, and we all know
people put ringtones not for themselves but for *you/we/us/they* to
"listen how fancy is my ringtone, dude!".

Admitedly, this Personas stuff won't add a bit in performance or solve
any MAB, but if correctly worked by our MarCom at release time, it will
make a hit in terms of branding, not to make sure we look prettier than
others (includes Microsoft) not to say that we may hear some rumbling
drums around the teepees.

And at the same time I am +1 to replace the tedious, tasteless
application background (grey shade) by a user-choice bitmap...

Full personalization is a trend I believe people want for their personal
stuff. They want to convey a message to their social environment.

Kind regards

is it not supposed to work on Linux at all ? And if the latter, why do 
we have access to it on Linux ? Or have I totally misunderstood what 
this is about ?

Sorry, really have no business in this thread, but I just couldnt resist...

Why not 'best of both worlds' ?
Allow user persona's, and improve the default look ?

you could even do a contest, where the best user persona wins to be
the new default look ?


just my 2 $

Well, shutting up now again...

In the first place - sorry for my poor communication of this :-(  I
should have poked UX-advise in advance that I am poking this.

There are actually 3 reasons: people love using their personalized
pictures for backgrounds - I can see it everywhere.  Photos of kids on
the screens of mobile phones, desktop backgrounds etc.

The other reason is that this has even enterprise use - I have a real
customer who is unhappy with the look of the background behind the menu
+ toolbar.  It is much easier to provide them with a way to tweak that
than trying to find out a balance between their needs and needs of other
customers - you will never do everyone happy.

And the last thing - should you decide to change the background under
the menu + toolbars, it will be as easy as drawing a new bitmap, instead
of having to programaticaly change the look, which is not that fun with
GDI functions :-)

Unfortunately, eg. on Windows there is no real standard that would look
good :-(

Yes - people will be able to set something that it will do the app
unusable; but hard to blame us for that, I think.

Again - sorry for not communicating this in advance.

All the best,
Kendy

Sorry to rain on the parade here .. but is there some good reason why
we need this feature?
If people are unhappy with how LibreOffice looks, we should probably
tweak the platform specific look until it is better. And from looking
at screenshots from Mac OS (and to a much lesser extent, working with
Windows), I do understand why people would say that.

The thing is, those problems won't be solved at all when we allow
people to put pictures of their cats in the application background. In
fact, that will make matters for the most part. (I haven't yet seen
the feature working so far... But even Firefox's implementation of it
which tries to make sure everything stays usable does not guarantee
readable results.)

So far this is still not finished, and I am fighting to have some time
to finish that for Beta 2, and for late feature approval ;-) - so it
still may happen that I'll need to just disable that code in 4.0, even
though I'd love to finish that - I am close.

The reason why it is Windows-only so far is that we do much more theming
of the menu and toolbars ourselves on Windows, so we can better control
there what is going on; so want to go the safe way, and do it
Windows-only first, then extend to Linux too.

All the best,
Kendy

Personas in LibreOffice

2012-12-06 Thread Marcos Souza
Hi list,

After take a look in some commits in LO about the FFox Personas, I saw that
this is only for Windows until now...

There is a reason for that?

There is something that we can do for extend this for Linux users?

I belvei that's a nice feature for LO! Congrats to the authors!

Thanks a lot!
