[Issue 128037] New: Request: Add a "bottom" or "underline" option to
form control text box border properties

control text box border properties

Form control text box underlining examples
When creating a fillable form in Writer, the text box form control needs a
"bottom" or "underline" option in the "border" properties. Please see the
attached examples file.
Using a "flat" border on all four sides of a text box, the form is visually
very cluttered and confusing.
Using "without frame" and underlined text, there are big white spaces on either
side of the text box's contents, also very confusing.
There is a klugey workaround (see examples), but it's very inelegant. Would
adding a "bottom" or "underline" border option be simple?

My enhancement request relates to how a form looks when it is printed out on
paper, not how it looks on the screen. To me, a form with "blanks" that are
only underlined is significantly easier for the reader to comprehend than the
other two examples in my attachment.

For me, this enhancement is not necessary. Input field is preformatted in a PDF
document. For example, it appears as a blue frame in Acrobat Reader.

I do not know that "theme able" means. I intended to make only one request:
In the Form Control Properties dialog for a text box, General tab, Border list
box, add a fourth option - "Underline" or "Bottom" - so that the text box form
control would only have a border across the bottom, not on the sides or the
top. It would look the same both on the screen and printed on paper.

I see here 2 request.
1) the Form controls should be theme able.
2) on different I/O Channels (Screen, Printer) you want different themes.
can we break this down in these two components?
