+ Have a wiki page?

+ undecided; a lot of work for maybe not much outcome

* Dialog control tooltips (Heiko)

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104413

+ Consistency of every control to have a tooltip (Heiko)

+ Lots of translation work to add tooltips to .ui files (Jay, Heiko)

ESC: make a proposal --> here it is https://docs.google.com/document/d/18u_DcmjyIPS1HzxhLEMu_1teFL-1uGGs_Xjfpg1l4d4/

+ self-explanation is important (Jay)

+ are there any applications that have tooltips for everything? (Jay)

+ MSO does not have tooltips for controls (Jay)

+ date created for Explorer (Jay)

+ nothing when hover the tree / search field - nothing (Jay)

+ no tooltips in the dialogs either (Jay)

+ always popping up tooltips in the dialogs would be annoying (Jay)

+ in toolbars it's fine, as buttons dont have labels and only icon which isnt always understood (Jay)

+ we can have the status quo: no tooltips in the dialogs (Heiko)

+ want to either have it everywhere, or not at all (Heiko)

+ what blocks us from allowing it, and evaluate when there is

the first dialog that has tooltips? (Kendy)

+ a11y concern (Heiko)

+ tested that, works fine (Jay)

+ every control has the associated label (Jay)

+ some corner cases: W and H instead of "width" and "height" (Jay)

+ improved the labels there

+ would like to see a dialog with such tooltips in action first, before we

take a decision like "everything has to have tooltips" (Kendy)

+ not happy about this, but can live with this (Heiko)

+ guidelines in general:

+ should codify what is a result of how things are progressing, never

should be used as "it is in the guidelines, now you all have to change

the implementation"

* Area tab heavily increases size of dialog

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103225

+ Issues with high dpi likely because of fix values (Tomaz)

+ please revert the patch

+ double-check then with various DE

* Color palettes

+ all changes are in 5.3

+ Blog post draft finished

+ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1faOPqiJFmaj_9HJJqJKnEMg8biQj1bBEyOoTs5k3qes

+ Read over it once again (Jay), publish next week (Heiko)
