Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 72715
Easily distinguishable tabs for Calc
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:27 UTC
Please have a glance at sheet tabs of each snapshot in the illustration attached. The illustration tries to propose that there might be possible to have more distinguishable tabs for Calc, even at less cost. The idea in the illustration is simple: the only selected sheet has a tab. Left part of the illustration Some users have reported it is hard for them to recognize what sheet is selected. Actually, even for me, it was difficult to distinguish the selected sheet on their traditional LCD display that seemed capable of lower contrast than that of up-to-date LCDs. Right part of the illustration In addition to the problem that comes from a low contrast display, it is still complex for normal users with normal LCD display to distinguish selected sheets when two of more sheets are selected. I wish the illustration might help everybody devise better, practical ideas.
Created attachment 41510 [details] illustrates an idea.
Hhhmmm, I think this is at least related to Issue 5560 if not a duplicate. But I will leave this decission for the requirements team. Frank
