Dear All,
I would like first of all to express my warmest thanks to you all for an
excellent Linux word processor. For Linux Abiword's biggest advantage over
all others is its speed of loading up (first run; note how slow Star office
takes to open in Linux)!
Being an old C++ programmer I would very much like to give as much free
time as possible to helping developing new sections to AbiSuite. I am
interested in the layout and schemes as my expertise is in customizing PC
software for small business use.
I would like if I may to attach a picture of the changes/theme of my copy
of Abiword running on SuSE Linux as I am you're your be impressed. I have
already customized my set of icons and adjusted the layout space on the
menu bars ready for new sections. Please let me know if attaching a jpeg
file via an email is ok or please advise me of a link that I can up-load it?
I wish to work on the menu/icon bars and in particular in adding new
short-cut icons.
I would like to start with creating a check spelling icon but need to
understand how your passing the parameters/program processes/how the label
is read and its sequence of events. Can someone just supply a few short
notes to help me get the process clear in my mind? At the moment its quite
different to how I would have gone about it, but I am sure it's a much
better way of doing things.
I think once I can understand that part the rest for me will be quite easy.
Regards,
James
