You say it as if the interfaces in LO were something static, even the default layout is dynamic. There are elements that are only found in the sidebar or will follow that path. If only showing the tab bar of sidebar by default, you gain more space by showing a 16:9 slide than a 4:3 slide. <a href="https://cloud.woelkli.com/s/z13YdEk4RImhjee">https://cloud.woelkli.com/s/z13YdEk4RImhjee</a> On the other hand, it is not a real problem using different configurations of the default layout using a 16:9 page format (note: the size of the sidebar is the one that brings by default LO). <a href="https://cloud.woelkli.com/s/amf5az6HWlCtwtm">https://cloud.woelkli.com/s/amf5az6HWlCtwtm</a> I don't think you should not use a new page format simply because the default layout has less space to work, but instead, adapt the elements of the default layout to embrace the new format is the way. As I said earlier 4:3 formats are legacy and so other presentation applications offer templates for this, although currently the default format is 16:9. Also consider Apple Keynote, MS Power Point and other presentations apps also have a slide pane and a sidebar using the 16:9 format by default for years. > > As mentioned above in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=93244#c1">comment 1</a>, "... the majority of them havent shifted > over to widescreen yet, but provide in their template selector dialog an > easy means of seeing 4:3 and 16:9 templates to choose from."

The dialog for selecting templates is optional and shows both options, however, the default format remains 16:9 if nothing is selected. > The simplest solution is to do the same and create a black 4:3 and 16:9 > templates that the users can select from when the template manager appears. > IMHO I think it is not good to show templates of different formats on one page. For example, Apple Keynote shows a set of common templates and a combobox that allows you to select the resolution of these (changing the aspect ratio), even if the resolution is changed, the same set of templates is displayed. LibreOffice could display a limited set of templates (including a blank layout) available in 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
