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. 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 - set the hight and width of the gradient - the percentage of the color should change the transparency and not the "blackness" of the color <a href="https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64469">https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64469</a> 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: <a href="http://temp-share.com/show/f3Ygit6Xn">http://temp-share.com/show/f3Ygit6Xn</a>). The coding part is up to you cause that's out of my scope. 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???). Please fuck the licensing issues so the code can be used in both projects.
