Description: Actually a light grey arrow indicates the movement, which is not the best solution especially in case of black and white images. Choosing a colour to see them or white with black border would be helpful. Furthermore, showing the end position or capability to enter coordinates of final position would also facilitate the operation. Actual Results: Actually a light grey arrow indicates the movement, which is not the best solution especially in case of black and white images. Expected Results: Choosing a colour to see them or white with black border would be helpful. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Furthermore, showing the end position or capability to enter coordinates of final position would also facilitate the operation.
Please give steps on how we can test
Created attachment 176725 [details] More visibility for movving directions. See my first report. Thanks.

This still doesn't tell me what I should do to test this. Was expecting steps like 1. In Impress, select image 2. Go to menu x, submenu y 3. Do something
Hi! Hope attachment clarifies. The arrows in grey shoud be more visible. I think there should be also a way to digit the position of destination specifying, as example, top or bottom angles, centre, one of the borders (top, bottom, etc.) Thanks.
Created attachment 177424 [details] Moving images: hope it clarifies.
No, the attachment does not clarify because it just shows some state. You need to tell us in writing the steps to reach this state.
Hi! Clicking on an object that has already a "move" animation, makes appear starting and arrival centre points (red ellipses in the .png) of the object. Actually these are in light gray and thus sometimes hardly visible. Modifying a direction shown is also sometimes not that handy. As all the object position parms are memorized (left, top, etc.): I think it would not be difficult to have the possibility to be able to digit the left and top destinations. Sorry, I cannot explain it more clearly. I know this could be an enhancement rather then a bug.
If you can't explain it, then at least attach an example presentation.
Created attachment 177447 [details] Hope it helps.
Thanks, now I can lay out the steps: 1. Open Impress, insert an image or a shape 2. With the object selected, open the Animation Sidebar panel 3. Click Add, select category Motion Paths 4. From the bottom of the list, choose Up I guess the colour option would belong to Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Application Colors. Adding UX team to hear their thoughts. For your other proposal, please open a new report ("showing the end position or capability to enter coordinates of final position would also facilitate the operation")
Don't think a dedicated color solve the issue. But if the arrow would follow some style (with a fallback) it could be easy to configure per presentation and slide. What do you think, Caolan?

With ver 7.1.8.1 you can only change grid colour in Impress.
I don't have any opinion on the color of this arrow, but I do know where it is set: in the MotionPathTag::MotionPathTag ctor at sd/source/ui/animations/motionpathtag.cxx:339 the line of: mpPathObj->SetMergedItem( XLineColorItem(aEmpty, COL_GRAY) );
Thanks for the code pointer. Now I can draw in any color but none is makes the arrows outstanding. Blinking might work but that's probably too much. And I have no idea where to place the color configuration. Really at tools > options?
With the code pointer in comment 15 I can easily change the color of the motion path lines and add an option to Tools > Options > Application Colors. But simply making it to blue, or any other color, wont solve the problem since different slides require individual colors. Ideally we can modify the color/line style per document/slide/line but this requires to save it with the document. Meaning the specification needs to cover the information for cross-plattform/application behavior or some extra value only used in LibreOffice not backward compatible.
a competitive analysis to see what other similar applications do might be indicative?
Had the chance now to compare with MS PP. It shows the MP as thin, dotted, light-grey line and I don't see an option to change this. If changing the line color of the MP is not feasible (wouldn't invest too much effort) I was thinking to pick up the color from the shape. But that's not gonna fly since the object may be a transparent text box, have gradients, is an image etc. How about showing the original object as tiny thumbnail at the end? Probably not solving the issue...
