About the project

FLUX UI, or FLUX User Interface, is a user interface design proposal for OpenOffice.org initially developed by Joshua Martin, Stephan Ruben, and Mikko Lehmitsolo but whose development has grown to be a community effort. The ongoing mantra, or constitution, of the development process has been the three statements as follows:

  • The document is the most important UI element.
  • Don't show the user what he/she doesn't need at the moment (context sensitivity).
  • Don't focus on a single UI element (i.e. Ribbon, Menus, Tabs) - use a hybrid of elements so that the information is displayed in the most appropriate way.

Accordian Toolbar Explanation of the Accordian Toolbar
Image-Strip Scrollbar The image strip scrollbar is a vertical set of thumbnail images positioned to the left of the vertical scrollbar. This image strip allows the user to navigate their document with more precision. Features of the I-S S are;
  • a variable width based on the length of the document
    • including a width that collapses the image strip when a certain document length is reached
  • a window that shows the current zoom being used
  • right click access to zoom options
  • an icon to collapse the image strip to a scrollbar, as a means of saving screen real estate

Current Color Palette

The current color palette is in the process of being assembled. Possible considerations for the color palette include the User Interface: Visual Design Groups work with the Galaxy Icon Palette.
