Hi all, I don't see any reason for having borders or shades at all. A plain background is fine. Keep it simple. I made a quick poll among friends and they all have different ideas, so this would be great if it could be optional. Also, since many like gradient backgrounds, why not make that

Hi Paulo, Christoph, Wow... I can't believe its been so long. This thread took quite the nap. I also like Style 1 best, top right corner, and 14x11. Although the orange seems a bit loud. I guess that is acceptable since it is likely the most appropriate color from our arsenal. It seems fine

First, as an element by itself, I like the four shadow borders, but I can't help but wonder how it fits in with any plan or vision for the future of the UI. Also, I don't understand how a shadow border is any trickier when zoomed. The scale of the shadow (and line width) don't need to change with

Agree: I prefer no shadow at all, specially if it means more system resourced used to no real usability gain. Shadows make sense only when you need to visually separate between stacked elements on a multi element UI like a desktop, but LibO UI is *single* document. And even if multiple document UI

Hullo Design! It's open-season on the Motif. *We have hit the week-long (business-week) Design phase!* So get your preferred tool of awesome-vector-creation out, whether that is Inkscape, Illustrator or even pencil+paper (not so scalable =). Here is a summary of the ideas resulting from the

Welcome again. I installed LibreOffice 3.3.1 some time ago. I noticed that all of new file type icons are too much bolded and they aren't smoothed as other file type icons (eg. PDF, BMP etc.). For this reason LibO file type icons are more visible than other. Screenshot with comparision:

Hi Johannes! Yeah, you're right, we're not talking on the same thing. What I mean by kerning is correct pixel anti-alialing artifacts, when a letter becomes blurry and you can use a sharpening filter to sharp the edges (correcting the blurry). But none sharpening filter changes the shape or

Hi all, I just perceived my LibreOffice version's icons are actually 26px large (and different from this [1] screenshoot), so I made a 26px version without shadow: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Toolbar-Mimetype-Icons-26px.svg And a version with the same 1px bottom from the other
