Extended Chart Styles: (Support chart style themes, with customizability).
Merged core commit (https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/186950)
Made UI seems good in online .. (columns count, windows size)
Found/fixed some problems that appeared while I fixed CI warnings.
Started to make UI buttons next to selected chart in online side, following context toolbar as an example. (I was hoped to fined a core example but this was the only thing I found)
After that, I have to add more chart properties to chart styles. -

Impress Perf Improvements
-
Prefetch and cache master slides and presentation info before event start slideshow
-
-
fallback to 2D canvas when WebGL2 performance is insufficient
-
Idea: Should we show warning dialogs/model for one time if we move them to 2d canvas?
-
Possible Problem: 1) Browser Accelerator off 2) Hardware Accelerator Off 3) Hardware is not compatible – Can’t do much
-
Joao: could be useful. So, user can understand that it’s not a problem within COOL but actually something else (hardware; web browser; etc). The hard part is how to do that/
-
Banobe: Yes, I agree, but I don’t see how to do this with a common popup that automatically disappears
- A warning with an ok button that allows the user to read the message and just after pressing the button → the message disappears
-
Pedro & Vivek:
-
I would rather not have an obtrusive message ….
-
we can do one more thing:
-
Add the message as a label directly in there
-
disable the ui in the edit mode for both the animations and transitions
- Possible problem: people cannot change these things and save the document

-
now: export xmlns:x attr. of
node (xl/tables/table[n].xml)- without xmlns:x, Excel 2013 opens the document. But Excel 2019 does not open the file.

iOS blurring document when opened in portrait mode…
-
got some reviews from Chris
-
https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/12497 → rejected due to potential performance concerns
-
https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/12589 → remade the fix, rejected as it causes some bad frames sometimes
