[UX] Design Exploration - Task Pane Content Panel User Interface Design
Hi all,
I have been exploring on Task Pane framework and content panel design. I
have post the 9 proposals on AOO UX wiki.
See:
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/AOO_UX_Design_Exploration_-_Task_Pane_Content_Panel_-_User_Interface_Design_Proposals#Task_Pane_Content_Panel_-_UX_Design_propoals
Capture any thoughts or feedback in the discussion section of the wiki
page. Thanks.

Because we should strive to better system integration. The Symphony
build (as offered here
http://people.apache.org/~zhangjf/symphony/build/) is a good example of
what not-to-do in very importante cases (comments below based on how the
UI is painted on my Linux system), important items are not painted
following the system's style settings:
- the popup window in the color-related toolbar controllers
- the rulers
- the whole sidebar
- the tabs in Calc
IMO AOO should strive at better system integration by using native
widget painting where possible, or system color settings at least.

You can start from :
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/AOO_4.0_Dockable_Task_Pane_%28Task_Bar%29_Design_Exploration.
And in section 5.2, you can find the link to Xin's page above.
Or you can go to our planning wiki for find the entrance:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+sidebar .

+1 for a terminology table. Perhaps in:
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/AOO_4.0_Dockable_Task_Pane_%28Task_Bar%29_Design_Exploration?

IMHO, it depends. system settings vary and can be customized which will
make our application look ugly some time. So if we can define good scheme
for ourselves (of course, not necessary to be hard-coded), I will say: "Why
not?"

It would be nice to have all the sidebar related pages under the same
category.
Concerning the feature:
- the jargon used in the different sidebar related pages is somehow hard
to understand, it would be nice to use the same terminology and have
a piRegardscture where this terminology is described
- about the chosen colours: they shouldn't be hard-coded, and system
settings should be used (where available)

Rob, thanks for post the design on Facebook.
Yes, I agree with you that it could be a good way to engage with our users.
I see there already have more than 10 responses. Wish will get more. :)

I put the question up on our Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/ApacheOO/posts/395424523873910
5 responses in less than 30 minutes. I think this could be a good way
to engage with our users.

Hi,
I prefer version 3C. Such a task pane should work like the task pane
control in Impress.
