before and after
Impress LO vs AOO |
||
Yup, that would be cleaner UI... Looks to be a simple Glade adjustment to GtkBox of: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/uiconfig/simpress/ui/slidetransitionspanel.ui From lines #279 to #346, think we'd need a new GtkFrame, and a GtkLabel--"Preview", to hold the GtkButtonBox at #294, and rearrange the GtkButton objects packing/positions in that box within the new frame. I like it, it looks more aligned and tidier. On my PC (Win 8.1) LO 4.4.0.0.beta1 the Speed drop-down list box seems to be a little more left (-> a little bit wider) than the Sound drop-down list box. From my point of view they should be aligned, that they have the same width, if possible. Created attachment 111545 [details]
Impress LO vs AOO
I had felt that the dimmed checkbox underneath sound should have been aligned with the drop down list and after peaking at AOO, i can see that this is how it was supposed to be.
I personally find openoffice's layout much better/cleaner and here are some reasons why.
1) element padding on the left and right is not glued to the sides of the sidebar
2) separators separation sections
3) larger list of transitions shown in the list because there isnt a huge amount of space between elements
I believe that we could save space by turning the advance slide section into an entry underneath 'Modify Transition', simply by having it with the heading 'Advance:', followed by a drop down list containing 'on mouse click' and 'automatically after' and then the seconds field.
AOO uses different Windowing widgets and are way behind on conversion. In other words, this is what LO looked like when we first brought in the Sidebar. Conversion to .UI remains a work in progress, and margins and spacing can be tweaked. Have to be careful about any effort to "save" space in the UI. l10n and i18n string translations make this a losing effort--what looks good and seems to fit in en-US gets out of whack in a hurry when translated.

I assumed that must have been the reason. :D I thought all the conversions were complete, or was that only for the dialogs? > Have to be careful about any effort to "save" space in the UI. l10n and i18n > string translations make this a losing effort--what looks good and seems to > fit in en-US gets out of whack in a hurry when translated. Luckily we have a resizable sidebar. :D (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #4) > AOO uses different Windowing widgets and are way behind on conversion. Correction: AOO has not started any “conversion”. GtkBuilder-based dialogs is a exclusive feature of LibreOffice. |
