[Libreoffice-ux-advise] Mirek's visit in SUSE :-)

[Stefan Knorr (Astron)]

Hi Kendy, Mirek,

great idea and a great list of things you've done!

All nice and low-key, like a statusbar should be. Thnaks, you two.


> Kill INSRT/OVER (and introduce 'Overwrite' only when overwriting):
> http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b30e202861e9bdba4d86e76ba8a6f059da8efc31

Here, I would like to propose two things:
* make Insert mode harder to trigger, for instance, by having to use
Shift+Ins (instead of just Ins)
* remove the inidactor wholesale

Do we really need indicators for the selection modes at all? They are
sufficiently hard to trigger and a sufficiently minor use case to
ignore them in the main window, I think.


> - improved Windows 7 look (nicer menus + toolbars there, make use of the
>  drawing into the non-client area)

I took a look at it... nice, but currently also unusable, because the
text can't be read.
