Simplify the Mask model

• All the "Header and Footer" thing should be removed. If you want to repeat something on a bunch of slides, just put it in the master page (modifying the master page is easier for the end user than the current system).

Give up on Dynamic layout

• It's somehow powerfull to be able to change the layout after the slide has been created but it's useless.

There shouldn't be Presentation styles and Graphics styles

It's part of the unneeded complexity ; very few people understand the difference : honestly, who knows that presentation styles have a master page scope while Graphics styles have a document scope?

On middle term, the app should be restarted from scratch

• As an independent app, Based on better technologies than VCL

• A nice way to go would be to leverage on JessyInk and Pencil project, which are both SVG based.
