Hi usability team, I'm Stéphane Maniaci, the summer of code student working on the presentation software, Ease [0]. I wanted to ask you designers about how Ease generally feel, but this is definitely not a good question since lot of changes are happening and the UI is not stable yet, at all.
However, I'm currently working on a text-editing widget, that is a widget which preview the text you're going to insert in your document, but also shows you some cool options like a shadow, outline or inset, plus all the sub-options of those (width, blur of the shadow, etc...). Basically, that means a ClutterStage on the left (a canvas), and the whole make-your-text-pretty configuration thing on the left. I came up with a _very_ basic mockup of this widget [1] but : 1. I don't know if it's good ; 2. I don't really know how to implement it (GtkBox, GtkTable, GtkExpander?). So if you designers have a little time to spare, I would appreciate your ideas and feedback about that. If that is of any help, you can look at the Photoshop text dialog [2]. Thanks! Stéphane.
