Oh, go ahead - it looks fantastic to me. :-)

And I also like the idea of turning having this little checkmark icon,
since it explains much better what's going on. But we should avoid that
users of user office suites may mix this up with the spelling and
grammar checker ;-)

Kohei, would it make sense to turn this into an easy hack?

####

Background: Improve the feedback for the user if a document has been
saved recently. This feedback will be shown by extending the already
available document symbol in the status bar.

      * Document Symbol "Empty": Show if the document has been newly
        created, or the content is unchanged in comparison to the saved
        version.
      * Document Symbol "Orange Star": Show if the document has been
        unsaved changes or a document saving process is still running.
      * Document Symbol "Green Checkmark": Show for 3 seconds after a
        document saving process has been finished. Then switch to
        document symbol "Empty" (see above).

Skills: ???

Contact: LibreOffice Design Team (Paulo)

Resources: ??? exported document symbol files

Don't know if that might work :-) In any case, thanks to you both!

Cheers,
Christoph
