Description Stefan Knorr (astron) 2011-06-23 02:34:33 UTC

It should be relatively easy to add a page number to the document background, such that users can immediately see on which page they are. Please see the mockup by Mirek2 at
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/b/b4/Citrus.png . Note however, that the scope of this bug is only the page number, not the rest of the design.
Ideally, a page number would be displayed to the left (for rtl locales to the right) of top of every page and should be of a grey that is slightly darker than the document background itself, use the UI font, but in a larger size (~16pt).

If this change goes well with users, it could be propagated to Impress and Draw.

Of course that can be done. But what's the advantage compared with the page no information in the status bar?

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
