Thanks for the reply :-) Sorry for the license, I meant MPL/LGPLv3+. I'm still a newbie to the coding world, and my C/C++ knowledge is still very basic, so for now I'd rather not be added to the developers' list. It was more a small tweak rather than an actual patch. <div class="gmail_quote">2011/11/18 Michael Meeks <<a href="mailto:michael.meeks@suse.com">michael.meeks@suse.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> Hi Thomas, First - welcome ! :-) it's great to see you here, and thanks for the patch. <div class="im"> On Fri, 2011-11-18 at 12:24 +0100, Thomas Collerton wrote: > Hello, here's a small patch which improves the the framerate of the > new Header/Footer UI in Writer. Released under LGPLv3 </div> It looks nice :-) Of course, we require an MPL/LGPLv3+ dual license for code contributions - so it'd be great to have a blanket statement to the list about that, that we can link into: <a href="http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Developers" target="_blank">http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Developers</a> Reading the code there, it's not that clear to me how the fading works, something I should have dug at before. Does our timeout handler cope with a machine where the re-rendering is very slow gracefully ? ie. by limiting the transition to an absolute time - and checking current-time in the timeout handler ? Anyhow - this'd be for Cedric to review really. Do you have some other issues you're interested in looking at ? [ the fade-in controls around writer objects is an idea that could be extended quite a lot to other things in writer I suspect ;-]. Thanks again, Michael. -- <a href="mailto:michael.meeks@suse.com">michael.meeks@suse.com</a> <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot </blockquote></div>
