Description Jim Tyrrell 2014-05-09 15:21:37 UTC
Having two slightly blue colors for the mouse over slide and the currently selected slide is hard to navigate.  It would be best if like in most other presentation tools that the mouse just hovers over a item w/o highlighting it.  See the attached screen shot for an example of something that is hard to navigate.

keynote 09 doesn't have a hover highlight, but powerpoint 2010 does. So competition-wise it looks tied as to whether to keep it or lose it.

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2014-05-12 14:04:37 UTC
I decided to keep the mouse-over highlight, but dial it down to "subtle" so that the difference from selected to mouse-over and unselected is very big while the difference from selected to mouse-over and selected is also subtle. And I throw in a gradient for good measure.

implemented as http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=fd4b20efbb734f5a82c636ded2ec65dcb46c5129

here's what it will look like
