Description Arian 2019-09-20 18:04:55 UTC
This is a list of some of the thing that could be done to make LibreOffice more consistent in UI design: 

-There is a transparency slider for the area fill of a shape but there is no transparency slider for the line/outline of a shape, just a vaue input. It would really help to add a transparency slider for ease ease of access and also to make LibreOffice more conssitent in UI design.

-For the shadow there is also an input value for the angle unlike the position and size  where there is a actual "circular slider" (sorry, not aware of what the actual name is) to set the angle of the shape, this could be added to change the orientation or angle of the shadow for an object.

-The properties for and equation (size and fonts as well as spacing ) could be put in the properties tab, his would make tasks such as changing things like the size more easy and quicker. It also helps newer users since when you look for a way to change the size of the equation it is not apparent at first and took me a while to figure out where it might be.

Hope I'm not asking too much but I strongly believe that changes like this help improve user experience, productivity and efficiency.

@Arian,

Thanks for posting. But we track issues/enhancements one feature at a time.

Please write them up separately--while checking if the feature requests have already been submitted. And the relationship of GUI elements on Toolbars, Sidebar Deck (where your first and second requests occur), the Notebook Bar UIs, and on the dedicated task related Dialogs.

Not saying there is no merit--just that blanket "make it better" enhancments are not really actionable.  The devs need specific designs to work against.

Regards...
