Hi,

I just tried out different LibO greens with my titlebars:

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Green1.png
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Green2.png
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Green3.png

I think Green 0 actually looks best, but I am not completely sold on
this. The other greens seem a bit aggressive.

Another thing to think about is font. I would propose (for Linux
systems) FreeSans, a Helvetica copy, which is almost universally
installed and works well as an interface font. When setting this,
think about font hinting, too. Should Cleartype (Windows)/sub-pixel
hinting (and what level) (Linux) be enabled or not? Subpixel hinting
looks bad in print, on CRTs or on LCD screens that use a different
sub-pixel ordering, but is much smoother on R-G-B LCD screens.


Astron.

I just checked on my system (Mageia 1 -> a Mandriva fork), FreeSans is not installed. How is the Liberation font family for print? This font is definitely installed on all linux boxes. If we are to adopt a specific font, we should make sure that it is a maintained font and that we can either have a link to a site where it can be downloaded from or we should store in on our own servers. I also think that it should be opensource.

I think I had seen somewhere on one of the wiki pages, a specific recommendation for a font for print, was is not Vegur?


Cheers

Marc
