Hi ???,

Dear Apache Open Office/Libre Office devs,
the reason why I'm writing is, cause I can't code and want to make OO
better.
Coding is not the only way to make AOO better. For example there are
always people needed to test the product, whether the new features work
as intended and whether no regressions slipped in. Also usability is a
topic for non coder, and usability is not about a single design opinion,
but making tests like the icon test in LO.
Specially the way gradients in Draw works. At the moment the gradients
stuff is rudimentary.
Well I guess little kids may have fun with this but you can't do real
work with that.
So this HAS to be changed.
At least the following things should be added:
- possibility to use more than two colors for the gradient
+1
- set the hight and width of the gradient
Currently the gradient is relative to the shape. Adjustments are done
with the Border property. With svg it is possible to define the gradient
relative to the parent of the shape and that is rendered correctly in AOO.
- the percentage of the color should change the transparency and not
the "blackness" of the color

Transparency is an additional feature. You can already combine
transparency with solid color (I guess from the pdf-file, that you want
that), but you can also combine transparency with gradients. You need
not even use the same kind of gradient. It seems you have not yet
discovered the property 'Gradient' in the Transparency tab of the Area
dialog.
Because this will break compatibillity with older Versions of OO I
think there should be as much changes as
possible to prevent having to do big changes in the future to the
gradients stuff.
So here is my suggestion to the GUI part (pdf file:
http://temp-share.com/show/f3Ygit6Xn).
The coding part is up to you cause that's out of my scope.
We tend to make the draw stuff more like svg. Already now it is possible
to use a svg-graphic; and its gradients are rendered nicely.
Besides that, changes have to be compatible with ODF or find its way in
the next version of ODF.
I would like you guys to think about how this could be implemented and
if there is a better way to
do it on the GUI side (maybe an extra button which will pop-up an
extra window for the editing of
the gradient???).
Area > Gradient is already the dialog page to edit gradients. What
editing feature do you miss on that page? But keep in mind, that color
gradient and transparency are independent properties.
Please fuck the licensing issues so the code can be used in both
projects.
If a developer provides his work under AL2, it can be used in both
projects. So its up to the individual developer. Changes done in AOO can
always be used in LO.
Kind regards
Regina
