Forum (Pedro)

Dark mode

  • Andreas K.: Is dark mode in master branch?
  • Andreas K.: What about document page, will we have dark page and bright text?
    • Szymon: “mode” We already have implemented framework, a way to render the tiles 2 times
    • Andreas K. we also already have something like that in core see GH 4382#issuecomment-1066213894
    • AI: [Pedro] Communicate that we have this feature branch and it is ready to receive any contributions → Forum, SM
  • Light to dark mode switch already in
  • Andreas K. I will look more into how to change the background colour (canvas tiles are transparent outside the document page)

GitHub activity (Pedro)

  • Gulsah
    • Chart size PPTX → Impress. Now working on this following Quikee code pointer → When we have auto layout somehow position and size is decided for the plot area → needs to find where this is happening. → Have a working solution but one test is not passing: 143179: Use same plot area distance with Microsoft Office (because other elements such as legends etc also change position → need to look into that)
    • Copy paste issue in calc (selecting row) working this → Michael’s comment : it’s taking too much time probably there is something else going on there as well. Discovered that even copy pasting in empty column takes a lot of time → now looking into performance with perf and debugging
  • User wants to have log out button on the admin console
    • Easy hack WIP PR open to anyone : https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/5416 we have discussed and yes this should get in. I have tried to remove the cookie from client side but I really don’t think it is possible because it seems that was created with httpOnly option. AI: Ping someone that can push server side commit into this PR [Gokay will look into this]

Design bits (Pedro and others)
