Add 2D styled checkboxes like MS Word
Last modified: 2013-02-07 21:51:35 UTC
The 3-d gray widget checkboxes writer uses within text documents are rather ugly (they feel as primitive and broken as the original 3-d HTML table border style no one would dare to use nowadays) Competitors (Adobe Acrobat, Word) have been using nice flat 2-d B&W checkboxes in document forms for years It's a shame a trivial little thing like this ruins the overall OO.o modern feel
MS Word offers both, 2D and 3D styled checkboxes. These 2D styled forms are handled like "special characters" inside the text.
