User friendly changes
Last modified: 2014-03-12 09:54:16 UTC
I'm pretty new to this so I'm not sure if I've done it right, but here we go: Generally i think OpenOffice.org 2.0 looks to become really good (it has a great look and feel :), but right now there is some serious userfriendlyness problems to take care of. I'll start with a few since i haven't got the tim to find more for now. Machine used for test: 800 mhz 224 mb RAM Windows 98SE 1. Zoom level adjustment - Short version: I want a drop-down box where i can adjust the zoom-level. - Long verion: Why do i have to move my mousecursor down to the center area of my screen to adjust the zoom level? I would be REALLY GLAD if there was a drop- down box where i could write or sellect a new zoom-level. 2. Tall things - Short version: The buttons, windows and tings in general must be less tall. - Long verion: Why are the buttons, and therefore also the windows, so tall? When i first ran the program, my resolution was set to 1152x864, and when I opened the Customise Toolbar window, it almost filled out the screen hight. So i tried to set the resolution to 1024x768 (the resolution which most people use today) and then i had no access at all to the ok button in the bottom of the Customise Toolbar window. I think this calls for a lot attention. / Jimmy Merrild Krag - Denmark jimmy.merrild.krag[at]mail.dk MSN-messenger: beruic[at]hotmail.com
RE: #1 You do realize that you can do this by right-clicking on the zoom level value in the status bar?

1. See zoom slider 2. Agree - all dialog windows should have higher aspect ratios, i.e. wider and shorter.
