Forum (Pedro)

  • Interesting request/idea on having dynamic footer/header (injecting content into document header and/or footer)
  • master pages → thanks Cor for answering
  • JSsidebar generated html
    • Szymon: Nice, we can then test this with the gridhandler wha
    • https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/5256 → Pedro needs to review it
    • Szymon: I have seen Andreas has update the structure on the core, need to check. Less containers but we are also moving to use grid in the core side https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/141380 → already on master, passed against distro CO (needs to be merged) AI: needs to be re-tested (grid inside of a grid)
    • Pedro: Reviewed both gerrit changes → requested additional adjustments (on inner grids)
    • AI: Andreas K: to test if changes in the UI files can be applied to pre packaged core and if it affects online
    • AI: [Pedro] Check with Andreas why do we need that last commit and figure out how to do it 100% on the CSS side
  • Inserting shapes makes the session crash → very interesting, AI: Ezinne will take a look

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

Design bits (Pedro and others)
