Issues with current OOo Default Settings

• Bad standard defaults of bullet point lists. If one creates a text frame in Impress and clicks on the button "numbering and bullet points" (Nummerierung und Aufzählungszeichen), the newly created bullet point list has terrible standard defaults:
  • (1) Almost no space between the bullet point and the text.
  • (2) No ident for the second line of text under a bullet point. The second line appears left-justified directly under the bullet point. Instead, there should be a ident of the second line. It should begin exactly there where the first letter in the first line starts.
• Please change default colour of drawing objects Issue 93507
• 'Right page' should be next style to 'Left page' and vs. Issue 15498
• Make manual page break in Writer better visiable, for example use 'light blue' and a thicker line. Issue 33518 and duplicates Issue 65150 , Issue 82353 , Issue 96963 , Issue 22646
• The default line in charts is much too thick, especially XY-Charts need hairline lines.Issue 98803
• Now my (Regina) personally wishes :
  • Include toolboxes circles, rectangles, text instead of single symbol in drawing toolbar in Draw.
  • Add Math formula icon to the standard bar in Writer.
  • Make the distance from number to text in numbering styles larger, so that 10. text is still in line.
  • Add a gap (tab or space) between number and text in table of contents in Writer.
  • Use parallel perspective for 3D-scene.
  • Set margins in style of Math formula objects in Writer to 0cm.
  • Add a spacing below for tables in Writer
  • Add a graphic style with setting "as character" in Writer.
  • Uncheck transparency warning in Tools > Options
