Description Tin Man 2013-03-10 01:45:09 UTC
Add a toolbar below the animation effect listbox containing the arrows for changing order and icons for "Add...", "Remove", "Change...", and "Play" (and remove the buttons for these in the pane). Also, remove the "Slide Show" button from the pane, as it's already shown in the toolbar.

The suggestion would only be to change the layout of the "Custom Animation" section of the Tasks pane in Impress.

It's not an exact explanation -- the design team agreed to have the toolbar below the animation effect listbox instead of above, as tends to be the norm with listbox buttons, and we agreed on a different order of the buttons.

In 4.2.0.4 on Windows the new graphical buttons below the list in the Custom Animations pane are gigantic. In order to see all the gigantic buttons the pane requires more horizontal screen space than before: 342px if including the new icon list at the righthand side. 298px excluding the icon list. 272px in previous versions of LO. 

The huge buttons should be changed to small buttons. They cause a waste of screen space and their size is inconsistent with the rest of the UI.

The icon for the "remove effect" button is a paper shredder. There are more intuitive delete/remove icons than that.

The buttons for "move up" and "move down" each have a blue arrow and a small black arrow. Why two arrows on each button?

If there are remaining problems, open a new bug for them, don't reopen this one because that really mangles our bug handling as the bug mutates through a gadzillion related topics
