[Bug 121463] New: Enhance visualization of handles

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121463

            Bug ID: 121463
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Enhance visualization of handles
    Classification: Application
           Product: drawing
           Version: AOO350-dev
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: Armin.Le.Grand@me.com
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

ALG: This is about enhancing the User Experience by offering better UI
visualisations for the handles which are used to visualize object selection and
interaction. These split in three variations
- Normal
- Enhanced
- HighContrast
and come for handles, Anchors and crop handles. These use bitmaps, so it is not
too hard to offer better/nicer UI handles.

Currently the alpha channel is not really used, but only a mask since these
bitmaps are fetched from the ressource system.

--- Comment #1 from Armin Le Grand <Ar...@me.com> ---
ALG: Taking over.

I have solved the ressource problem, it is now possible to use the full alpha
channel. Thus, I propose to add some better edge smoothing and some
transparence to allow to see stuff evtl. covered by the handles (e.g. the
anchors in SW/SC).

I propose to keep all three themes, but to use the enhanced one as default. The
user will still have the choice to use simpler handles if he wants. Anyways,
the proposed enhanced handles will be much simpler than the 3D handles used up
to now.

Handles come in two sizes which the user can choose. I propose to keep this
selection possibility, but to use the bigger handles as default due to the
increased (and still increasing) resolutions as of todays displays.

I have adapted the handles for all themes, using Draw and the 3D engine
massively. I will add the new handle bitmaps and the draw document which shows
how I generated them (for whom it may interest). To make it easier to take a
look, I will also add previews as draw document and bitmaps.

ALG: You can find the following files under the link
http://people.apache.org/~alg/:

The handles:
 markers.png        : Normal version 
 markers2.png       : Enhanced version
 markersACC.png     : HighContrast version

cropmarkers.png     : Normal
cropmarkers2.png    : Enhanced
cropmarkersACC.png  : HighContrast


buttons.odg : The draw doc I used to create the buttons. May be interesting for
some to see what draw can do ;-)

OldNew.odp : Draw doc containing some bitmaps showing diffs
OldNew.png : Same as above, but as bitmap to make things easier

Of course the handle design is a quesion of taste; I have midified the used
handles carefully and not too much, but these are much more pleasing in all day
usage. Remember that the handles are where the user's focus is most of the
time.

--- Comment #4 from Armin Le Grand <Ar...@me.com> ---
ALG: Added missing support to make the CustomShape handles (the yellow ones)
work when travelling the handles by keyboard (CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB).
Works well. Before, the handle with the focus was not visualized by blinking,
so the user had no clue if the handle *had* the focus or not.

ALG: Made the crop handles lighter, also added white to the rotation center
handle to make it visible in all cirumstances. Thanks to Regina for this Hints!

ALG: Corrected anchor visualisation to be independent of big handles, this
showed the pressed anchor. This will now use the selected state which Writer
sets during anchor dragging.
