Hi 
I have lost track again.
Ages ago someone was worried about not being able to complete screen-shots for
one of the Draw chapters. Was that the chapter that Jean sorted on the 18th
Aug? or do we still need more screen-shots in another chapter?

Hi
Ok, i have had a quick scroll through i recommend that we don't make any changes
this release.
There are some inconsistencies but they seem fairly minor to me tbh. In all
cases the screen-shots were clear, easy to read and good quality. Nothing
screamed MS, all seemed to be on Gnu&Linux and i didn't notice anything saying
OpenOffice.
Screen-shots that still have a blue title-bar are in
Ch 3 p 8 (2nd image), 9
Ch 6 p 4, 5, 8, 9, 16, 19,
Ch 9 p 5, 12 & 13
Ch10 p 5, 6, 13
but only 2 of those might be less easy to read as a result
Ch 6 p 4
Ch10 p13
but even there it was not too bad and looked fine imo.
In 4 of those Chapters it might be easier just to replace the Silver themed
screen-shots to make the chapters consistent in themselves even if that makes
them inconsistent with the rest of the guide(s). So the silver screen-shots in
those were in
Ch 4 p14
Ch 5 p11
Ch 6 p 6, 12, 23
Ch10 p16, 25
A couple of oddities i noticed were a couple of menu selection list backgrounds
but in both cases it looked quite nice and went well (or contrasted nicely) with
the other colours in the example.
Ch 4 p15 blue
Ch 5 p 7 purple
If there ever was a problem it has either been fixed or worried about too much.
People have done an excellent job on Draw, it's quite fantastic
Thanks and regards from

No, that change was replacing an incorrect figure (similar to fixing a
typo).
or do we still need more screen-shots in another chapter?
In Chapter 7, Working with 3D Objects, Figures 35 and 36 use an
"OpenOffice.org" graphic in the example. This should, at some point, be
replaced by a "LibreOffice" graphic. The person who offered to replace
the figures was having difficulty recreating them.
Whether this is important enough to hold up compiling the full book is
another matter. I personally don't think so.
BTW, final-checking of the OOo Draw Guide is turning up other errors
(such as wrong figures) that I will fix in the LO book as well.
So far no one has come forward to compile the LibreOffice Draw Guide,
but I am encouraging people with experience at OOo to help out here.
Thanks for the list in your follow-up note. That list will be very
useful when updating the guide for LO 3.4.x. I agree that the figures
don't need to be replaced in the 3.3.x guide at this time. And I notice
that you did not spot the two figures in Chapter 7 with OOo in them.
That does suggest that they are probably not a big problem.

Hi
Wow, no i didn't notice them! I still don't think there is any problem there
because
1) they are not part of the UI
2) Apache are much friendlier than Oracle
I think they are just friendly drawings (and very complicated). I think they
should be left as they are in the spirit of fostering friendlier relations with
Apache
My numbers were a bit confused, mostly just Ch6 but possibly a couple of other
numbers are image numbers rather than page number.
