[proposal] Add Symphony gradients
Hi List,
when looking at Symphony I saw that there are some much nicer default
gradients provided for user's convenience. Our current ones are medium
usable (maybe created by developers), but still present in Symphony,
too. To easily see what I'm talking about I have created two files:
- A Impress doc (http://people.apache.org/~alg/Gradients/gradients.odp)
- The same as png (http://people.apache.org/~alg/Gradients/gradients.png)
I propose to do the same as in Symphony: Add the lower symphony ones
additionally. It's not much space (in the install set ;-)) and offers
much nicer to-go gradients.
What do you think?
Sincerely
Armin

How about:
- moving the three Symphony grey to the top, followed by the rest (when
just moving all symphony to the top, yellow would be first, I think grey
is better)
- Keep the old (removing is always hard, which to remove?), but sort
them a little bit to look better. Move the most useful ones more to the
top (but after symphony ones)
Useful ones from the old:
gradient 1
gradient 3
linear blue/white
linear yellow/brown
radial red/yellow
axial light red/white
the rest...maybe really remove...

good idea and we can think about the removal of some old ones

Hi List,
okay, added and comitted.
I played around with an office where these are installed, it's really
much better to use these gradients.
I would even propose to move them to the top of the list, so that they
will be seen immediately when looking for a gradient, and not the old
ones disturbing the eye. What do you think?
Sincerely,
Armin

+1, they are really nice, indeed

+1, the symphony gradients feel softer, they aren't screaming attention.
We might want to offer those for less distraction when they user 'feels'
for it.

I like the idea.
To have them additionally gives the user a better choice when they look
for some more smooth gradients (e.g., compare the AOO "white-red-white"
with a Symphony "grey") and more color variants.

The Symphony ones are definitely nicer and more useful. I agree we
should include them.
