GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 689170
Page line issues
Last modified: 2015-04-22 15:31:34 UTC
Created attachment 230012 [details] zoomed screenshot The notes include a background with page lines on them. There are currently a few issues with the way these interact with the note text: * you can't write on the first page line * the text overlaps the lines (see the screenshot) If you look at the notes mockups [1], you will see that there is extra space between the top line and the top of the note. The line spacing is also much larger, and the note text is bigger. [1] https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/notes/notes-single.png
First page line is now ok Line spacing larger is now ok Bigger text ok Text is still not properly placed (despite does not overlap lines anymore) Extra space is still to be added on top of the note
Do we really need skeumorphic paper in a desktop app?
Patryk, actually the mockup is more subtle than current css https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/raw/master/notes/notes-wide.png
Ok, the mockup looks much better. It still seems though that making the lines behave properly requires significant developer effort. I guess it's also possible that it will break depending on font metrics.
The css uses "em" to fit any font size. But using -webkit-linear-gradient, as of today, probably does not allow to implement nicely the mockup (dotted). Honestly I have to look at css more seriously for this (and maybe also for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689171)
This bug is effectively replaced by bug 740323 , if it is judged t be valid.
Page lines were removed in bug 740323, so this is obsolete.
