[Libreoffice-ux-advise] Request the creation of whiteboards

[Jay Philips]

Hi Mirek,

I will stick with bugzilla for the print preview toolbar and once i
complete my research on the standard and formatting toolbars, i will
present it to ux-advise in a bug report.

I've included in the attachment my first mockup of the toolbars. More
work has been done since this mockup was made, as i'm utilizing OOo's
tracking results and getting feedback from a number of users. I'm
presenting it now to illustrate the direction i'm going in and to get
feedback. In the image, the red arrows above a button indicates that it
will have a drop down menu similar to the new and open buttons. The
black lines indicate that the button will go underneath the button which
has a red arrow above it.

As you may not be familiar with some of the icons in the standard
toolbar that i've added, here is the list following the redo button.

Find & Replace
Spelling & Grammar
Non-printing Characters
-----
Insert Page Break (added an icon)
Insert Image
Gallery
Drawing Toolbar
Table
Hyperlink
Special Character
Chart
Insert Footnote
Insert Field
Comment
-----
Send Feedback (added an icon)

In the formatting toolbar, i've added buttons for decrease font (added
an icon), increase font (added an icon), strike through, shadow,
superscript, and line spacing

Regards,
Jay Philips
