I imagine we could just go with something simple
likehttps://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/raw/master/documents/documents-empty.pngor
perhaps even a simple label like the "No label" screen on
https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/nautilus/search-wires.png.
(If we go for the former, we should probably use the same icon, given that
our new icon sets will be extensions of Gnome's.)
What do you think?

As I understand it, it's not a wallpaper Kendy's looking for, but rather an
indicator that there are no recent files to display.
Care to confirm, Kendy?

Ahh, ok, something more like that:

Your friend ought to help the design team out. That's a good design.
I'm pretty sure the current design has already been put together, though, so it might be better to modify the current one.
This would be my modifictation, based off of the original proposal by Mirek2. (Sorry if it's a bit rough. There of course would have to be a New formula and New database icon in the New row, also, and they could probably be sorted better.)
Anyway, it would keep it from looking totally empty, and would make it much more intuitive to actually create a new document. Another good thing would be to include the more information and help buttons like are there currently.

I rather imagine this was done by a GSOC student based on a design
provided by the UX team :-) if the result is horrible, I'd want to know
how closely it matches the design provided. It is rather expensive
chopping and changing this stuff around continually - drawing some new
pixels takes a few minutes, re-writing, testing, validating,
translating, delivering the new code takes man weeks.
Anyhow - this IIRC was Kendy's baby, I'd CC him on any discussion (if
you can maintain that CC) :-)
ATB,
Michael.

Terribly sorry - best to keep me CC'd for quick turnaround :-)
I was more looking for a wallpaper (as K-J suggests) or the 'welcome
information' (as Cor said) - I think it gives better first time
experience than a 'no recent documents found'...
Sorry for not being clear in my request :-(
Thank you in advance,
Kendy

Hi Mateusz,

> I asked him for better mockup and he did this.
>
> http://i.imgur.com/iJcSVxU.jpgBeautiful - thanks for this. This is of course easily possible to do,
if the Design team consensus is that it should look this way. The best
is if you change it yourself in glade, and provide us with the
resulting .ui file - try
glade share/config/soffice.cfg/sfx/ui/startcenter.ui
do the changes, and restart LibreOffice. You should immediately see
that.
The next time please omit the pejorative parts of your mail - we have
provided the snapshots & merged it to master early exactly in order to
be able to have feedback in time before the feature freeze, so that we
still have time to make it perfect for 4.2 :-)
Again - thanks for the mockup, I like it. The only missing piece (and
that was what I was searching for in the first place) was what to show
in case there are no recent documents in the left part of your mockup -
can you please provide such a mockup too?
Thank you,
Kendy

Hi Kendy
+1 on this design (the small icons are not user friendly)
Jan Holesovsky wrote

I agree that it could be a nice banner with a welcome message in the lines of "Thank you for choosing LibreOffice. Please click on one of the document types on the right to create a new document" (assuming the design by Mateusz is accepted.
Best regards,
Pedro

Looks good :-) - just I'd myself would prefer some kind of welcome
message or welcome graphics (without text is preferred, as that makes
that easier from translation point of view) that was mentioned elsewhere
in the thread, over a sterile 'No recent documents'. Do you think your
friend could try something in that lines too?
Thanks so much,
Kendy
