<div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Hi all!</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Since my last update I got a lot of feedback about the new Start Center. Some of the suggestions I have already implemented, but I'm still working on them.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I'm also working on adding a toggle button to switch between recent docs and templates, but I encountered a problem.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Here's a patch with a non-functioning test version: <a href="https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/5543/" style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/5543/</a></div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I have two custom widgets in a grid, one for templates and one for recent docs, but they both render as a narrow white strip. (See the tab for presentations.) On the last tab, you can see that the custom widget for templates is working properly.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Some other issues I'm having:</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div>I was asked if I could make the scrolling smoother (it always moves thumbnails 1 row at once when the scrollbar passes a treshold) in the RecentDocsView class I made. RecentDocsView inherits from ThumbnailView, which uses Window::HandleScrollCommand for scrolling. Is it possible to make it smoother without basically reimplementing Window::HandleScrollCommand?</div>
<div><br></div><div>In the original Start Center, one could drag and drop files onto it, and they would open. I noticed that this only worked if one didn't drop the file on a button, but on the background. After converting to .ui, it only works if one drops the file on the edge of the window, where there aren't any widgets covering the background. Is there a way to cover the whole window with the drag&drop functionality?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I was asked to make the background of RecentDocsView transparent, instead of white. I checked, and ThumbnailView::Paint draws a rounded rectangle with it's set background color. I set this color to COL_TRANSPARENT, and now indeed it seems not to draw this rectangle, but the background of the custom widget is still a white rectangle. Is this behavior inherited from Window or Control or something? And is it possible to change it? The inherited Paint methods don't seem to be drawing anything.</div>
